Fighting a taller boxer

[dudeguyman]

I think this is an important concept to consider. When fighting a shorter in & out opponent, a taller fighter has a zone where he can hit the other guy on the way in and out without getting hit back. Every time the shorter fighter crosses that zone he's at a disadvantage, so his setups need to be good to get past that zone and into range and/or he needs to quit crossing the zone so many times. Instead of going in & out and basically fighting on his terms, get in and stay inside, shorter fighters tend to have the advantage when they're up close & personal. Get inside, stick your head on his shoulder, and bang the body. Turn it into a short man's fight, where the taller guy needs to find an answer to the inside game.

Exactly.

Fancy way of saying just bang
