I wanted to make a post about fighting shorter guys.......funny because its suppose to be easier and more easing on the mind when you're fighting a guy who's 4-5 inches shorter. (that's the height difference im talking about) but I wanted to see more in depth strategies and approaches to going again someone who you have a large height advantage on.
Everyone says, "use the jab" but Im talking as if you're fighting someone who is experienced the first thing the shorter guy should do through out his career is KNOW the jab is coming and learn to counter it, then what?
This arguement could take place all night about "fighting tall" or fighting eye level.
Standing straight up with good posture sounds ideal but then you always have the bad seed of naturally punching downward which leaves you're face/chin open considerably.
Then standing crouched / eye level you have see more but the common phrase is "you're giving up your reach!"
Its an on going debate but Ive talked to some guys at the gym about this and they give me their .02 ......
The usual post is about fighting someone taller but ive came here to switch things up,
Im posting here to see (for the people who've been around this sport more) what do yous think is the best approach when facing someone who you're looking down on? What tactics do you use and why?
Would love to see some input
