    just found out that my opponent is scared to fight, however he's shorter than me and stalky. How do I fight against smaller fighter who can brawl.

    Firstly if he's scared, intimidate him. Stare him down when you first see him, threaten him, make yourself look big and tall. Threaten his mother.

    Then, stay at range. Use your jab, long 1-2, turn. Clinch when he comes inside. Just pick him off and spin whenever he tries to attack.

    Raise your arms as the winner.

    By raising your hands this affects the judges decision?

    Like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win, but never to learn the way to lose.To except defeat, to learn to die;is to be liberated from it.So when Saturday comes, you must free your ambitious mind, and learn the art of dying.

    my tip for shorter guys as long as you have longer arms is simple let them get close place your glove on there shoudler or elbow and spin your self away from them. ( this could be what they mean by spinning i dont know the technical term for this

    Good tip.

    Try to give him a kiss too. If he's scared and then thinks you're also gay, **** me, he'll be running off before you can land a punch on him!
