I’m usually always the shorter fighter and that helped make me a more elusive & creative fighter. Feints, head movement, footwork, sneaky jabs, body work, leg kicks, all necessary to avoid running into a mean counter from someone punching down on you. 😅
I’m 5’11” 1/2” and when I moved up from 165Lbs to 178lbs I encountered two taller opponents than myself. Definitely more difficult since I was always accustomed to being the taller boxer in the ring.
Great video. There's one guy in our club who is significantly taller than me & who I always find it hard to get to. I'll be trying to utilise these tips from now on. Thanks Joe!
I'm 5,5 , all my sparing partners were a lot taller compared too me, I'm still pretty new too this sport but man were you ever right, low kicks and body shots once closing the gab , worked really well. This is a great video! Thank man
I'm usually the taller fighter so I need to know what my enemies are planning. Thanks. Any chance we could see some sparring from you, Joe? I love how Liam Harrison invites other local pros and beats them up on video.
jabs, teeps, keep distance, dont get trapped in corners, use your knees when someone comes in with a clinch if you cant avoid it. dont search the knockout or combos, chip them off bit by bit go for points source: a often smaller fighter that gets frustrated with this style a lot
Hypothetically, how would you deal with a taller fighter that does not want to maintain range and is very much a pressure fighter. I've got a sparring partner like this and I just can't figure it out. Going head to head gets really messy, and when I try and be more evasive closing distance is always risky because he has long legs, and like I said staying inside is messy. He just puts one forearm on top of my head and starts throwing body shots and uppercuts with the other hand. I can defend those well enough, but I cant do anything offensively without breaking contact and starting back on the outside. (He has around six inches on me height wise, coupled with extra long limbs.)
Eat the kick and close the distance. Corner them against the ropes/cage using pressure and lateral footwork. Have superior boxing, throw shots to the body. Works on karate/tkd guys every time.
You can "catch" lowkicks instead of checking them then counter with a overhand. For example you get a lowkick to your left leg. Once it makes contact catch the ankle with your left hand and simultaneously throw a right overhand. This video will help, start looking at 4:16 to see what I mean: ruclips.net/video/hM4K-CBpytk/видео.html It works in Kickboxing too, I tried it. Just make sure you're reach for the catch only once it has made contact otherwise you may fall for a feint and leave your head open. ruclips.net/video/fPFafyu5q6g/видео.html This is the video I learned from of how to do it...very good explanation.
I'm currently watching this video to help my 6 year old son fight against much bigger opponents in the championship. I'll come back to say if it worked.

I feel like all these videos are just echoing conversations I have in the gym with more elaborate explanation. I love it! Thank you!

as a 5ft 3 thai guy, i have to say these are very effective tatics
I’m 5’9 & always take on much taller fighters, which I’ve been able to adapt but against someone shorter than me i have loads of trouble lmao 🤣
yah, not used to it myself.
Thanks for the great content, Joe.

Great info. I was sparring taller fighters today and that front kick was my nemesis.
so clear, so good advices! Priceless. Thank you!
Great tips 🤘 go for the legs, but don't get punched 😃 but seriously, your info is always good to take into consideration and test out.
Thanks Joe perfect timing

Just watch his actual fights on glory
Seen them all, but think he has improved even more since then
Would you mind making a video about tall fighters and how can they use their reach advantage?
Really nice tips! Loving your channel, keep up!
Rodtang, Mike tyson,and lomachenko are the best examples I can think of
Hi Coach could i send you a 30 sec sparring footage, im curious what tips you'll give, let me know and thanks for this video
@Bazooka Joe can you please add chapters to your videos? It would be make your helpful videos even more helpful.
Thanks Joe I'll use this in my sparring today 🤣👊👊
Me watching as a 6’3 fighter to get the jump on you migets
lol Fr. But I’m also watching cause I sparred with someone this is 6’6 and I’m 6’2 so i didn’t know what to do lol
Iam sure Mike Tysons enemies also watched his tactics against taller opponents 😂
Good teacher
Great job Valtelini, now can you make a video of opposite "Taller VS Shorter" 😉

Can you do a video about the body jab please?
Mayweather and Marciano were both usually shorter, often undersized, and have arguably the best championship records in boxing history.
I wanna know if you can still apply this being 5'5 fighting a 6'5 guy
thanks 👍🙏🙏🙏
Wow
What is the best way to beat a kickers?
