How to beat a taller opponent

Punch them.

 

Swim without getting wet.

 

Pressure or counterpunching.

 

It's pretty easy. Go watch the presser for Fury v Cunningham and Cunningham and his coach describe how they're gonna chop dat tree down. If the ref hadn't let da big man lean on Steve with head and forearms it would have worked. As the ear-eater said, 'Everyone has a plan until Fury leans on dem with his head'.

 

bodywork

 

Like any opponent, beat them up

 

Watch Yota Sato vs Srisaket Sor Rungvisai for WBC World belt in Super Flyweight it's a classical for that.

 

It’s kind of a silly question that’s why.
It displays a very poor/basic understanding of the sport.
But as I’ve said before several times, I’ve noticed this is a forum for ppl who later in life wish they understood boxing, not ones that actually do and have grown up in the sport.
unfortunately, newcomers to the sport then read stuff from these guys and the misinformation continues as these are usually the loudest voices.

Pro boxing is a sport of beating each other up, not a height competition. Weight is the bigger advantage, hence we have weight classes and not height classes.

in any fight, whoever implements themselves better usually wins.

heights are irrelevant to the result, they just give a potential advantage by offering a further option of using reach.
Having the option to use reach is not a big advantage unless they have skills to implement it.
these skills have to be superior to the shorter fighter to implement it successfully.

Also, good timing beats reach everytime.

 

Ask Mike Tyson...

 

For someone questioning others fighting experience, isn't it appropriate that you comment on your own?

 

Sorry kid, but just chill on the outrage. ive lived the sport since a young age.
I know this basic detail may have rattled your understanding of boxing but just relax and I can teach you a bit.

Weight is more important than anything, hence we have weight classes.

if height is the sole important factor, why are the champs not always the tallest in the division?

skills, timing, accuracy, speed, power, strength, heart etc all matter way more than height.

height and reach are good to have, but they aren’t everything, far from it.
if a taller guy is beating you, it’s because he is better than you in some or all other areas, such as skills, timing, footwork, defence, stamina etc

 

It’s a forum, people can lie.

 

Still would be interesting to hear.

 

Judging by his post, I wouldn’t believe the answer anyway.
