Oh i agree that bieng tall is definatly an advantage in boxing, my first sparring partner was 5ft8 and he just couldnt connect as i was always out of his target zone but he was still in my target zone so i just picked him of whenever he tried to close in, we go seperated quite soon.However my oldman is 5ft 10 a fair bit shorter than me but he just keeps his chin down and comes at me and i dont like it as i like to fight at my distance because thats what im used to.To be a good short boxer i think youve got to be very brave and have a good chin coz like deadpool said your gonna get smacked before you get a punch in the shorter guy has to think more in the ring. |
