sparring next week for the first time. im pretty tall for my weight class im 6'0 1/2 155. 76 inch reach pretty fast hands. my friend was telling me that before i spar i should go on youtube and watch a fighter thats your size and try to copy how he boxes the shorter opponents. im orthodox by the way thanks so much any advice would help.

stay on the outside and just keep pumping your jab into your opponet while moving to the side. occasionaly come forward and throw a combo.

JMM, Ricardo Lopez, or Thomas Hearns. Hearns might be the most similarly disproportionately tall as you are so he'd be a good starting point.
