any advice for fighting guys with long reach?

[Squabbles94806]

i know the basic is getting inside or putting him on the ropes to fight him. but are they're any other tricks to fighting a guy with long reach?

Yeah, keep your head moving so you can slip his Jab. Get inside and rip that fcukin body apart. Get his respect.

With tall fighters, you want to fight on the inside. When you're on the outside, stay out of his range. You conduct when you want to go in or not. When he rushes you, try to tie him up if you can't counter or move around him.

When you get him on the ropes, keep him there. Same thing in the corner.

When you get your opening on the inside, ya GOTTA rip his body apart.

Punch at his neck.

Bob and weave, the jab and footwork are one of the keys to get inside those freaking long arms

Obviously fight on the inside like you've said, you said you know how to do this so I won't bother going on about that.

The other thing is aim for the ribs, if you can, the floating rib. This is a horrible punch to receive anyway, but body shots like that usually bring people to hunch, that'll make things a lot easier for you. Also, fight on angles, not straight on. Lining up allows for better power, but you can do that towards the end. Tyson always said he never liked to fight straight on because it brought on exchanges, in these exchanges usually reach prevails, so he'd actually go against conventional teachings and not line up. He'd then utilise the hooks and that brings up back into inside fighting which you know about.
