how the hell do you throw a hook at a target thats very high?

hit him in the body so he leans donwn

Yeah. Destroy his body until he drops his guards so you can hook easier in the head.

Ok. Then just destory and hurt the body. Throw rib, liver, stomach punches, etc.

Obviously you will need to work your way inside.

Im 5-10 and fought a guy 6-3 with over a foot in reach advantage on me. I got to him by pounding a right into his ribs after slipping his jabs. It took abit to get his timing and rythme but once I did I came in hard with that right. And followed with hooks and such. Just gotta have the balls to press him and to get inside of his range.

Go to the body to bring the target down to where it's reachable.....

Just watch when his head is coming down that he doesnt give you a gratuitous headbutt. Talk about ringin' your bell, that will leave an eco in your mind for a span of time.

go to youtube and type in rocky juarez, his opponet are usally taller then him.

I'm 5'9" and 173-175, which means I'm sparring Light Heavyweights and Heavyweights, most of whom -- in fact, all of whom -- are taller. I don't find it an issue. I have to get in closer, but that's where the action happens. My hooks are short, and my right (leading) hook is more of a shovel-hook -- half hook, half-uppercut.
