Hi all, a bit of background info to start:
I'm a tall southpaw who's crossed over from Muay Thai to boxing, i had 8 MT fights and hope to fight amateur boxing in 2 months. I spar out of a side on stance with my weight on the back foot, i basically self taught myself from Kenny Weldon tapes.
At range I'm doing better than fine but I'm getting flustered and losing a lot of points when they finally get in on me. I counter them on the way in often but they're happy to take a shot to land 4.
Should i be looking to just shell up? Do i need to change my stance to more square when they get in?
Noob questions I'm sorry, Muay Thai whenever they got this close I turned it into a clinch fight.
