    By watching your video, it looks like you lack foot work there, and you stepped forward by changing your footwork stance, so I think you'd benefit as a Brawler fighting style. Tighten your guard, slip left to right (or vise versa) as you move forward, mix it up. Then close in and be patient, until you find an opening. Most taller people will use their range advantage against shorter people. They're either an out-boxer or a counter-puncher. Don't be a headhunter when you know they'll just step back to take your reach away, get them on the body shot and follow-up with a headshots, using hooks or overhand hook and uppercuts. And body shots will slow down their footwork. Mix up your punches with head-body-head (1-2, low 3 or 1-low 2, 3, etc.), or head-head-body. But when you do this, always tighten your guard (which means, one side guard while you strike) and don't charge or load your punches. Taller people can see that from miles away. Good luck.

    Hey bro. great sparring! I'm 1.80 cm and I here and there got tall sparring partner which kinda sucks. I'm also a Lefty (Orthodox stance).Overall I also think its chill, what i always do is put my chin almost to my chest, and keep my chin behind my right shoulder, and keep my left also besides my left cheekbone.
    Look at some sparring/fighting video's from Mike Tyson in his prime where he obliterated every tall opponent. Keep your self small, (slightly bend your knee's so you wont fall over if you get pushed) and when you wanna open for action, step in to the opponent, do your combination and pivot left/right so when the opponent goes in guard, he loses you. Keep playing with him, keep shocking strikes to be unpredictable.
    Keep on the great work my guy!

      You're a left handed orthodox? That's rare. I'm just wondering why you aren't fighting as southpaw. You'll have great advantage against an Orthodox (which are majority of boxers are). Unless your power is your right hand but still a left handed, then you really are a left handed orthodox.
      Mike Tyson style is a boxer-puncher which are a combination of a pressure fighter (aggressive) and brawler (strong guard). Fighting Mike Tyson's style requires a lot of gas in your tank, endurance, cardio and stamina, because you need to be aggressive to put pressure on to your opponent. He has good foot work to move in-and-out and side-to-side shuffle with barrage of punches and tight guard (sometimes peek-a-boo style). Otherwise, if you try to train Mike's style but lack of cardio and endurance, you'll get burn before the first round even finishes. Most people that can do this are smaller people. Mike Tyson was the smallest heavyweight (big for his height but short for the heavyweight) and was able to go low with dip, weave and slip. Anyways, improve your footwork, don't be flat footed.
