Boxing POV sparring a shorter fighter

Many more to come, still experimenting with other angles/editing and lengths so let me know what you’d like to see!

[@Jacktoriousrexrex]

The short dude knew exactly what he was doing. Waiting for those openings and keeping distant. Even coming in more agressive near the end when he knew you'd be slower and worn out a little more. Sparing bigger people is tough especially if there's kicks involved it's like getting hit by a tree trunk 😂

[@maxmordente2218]

Thanks bro ❤️

[@realcartop]

If your shorter then the other dude you shouldn’t be trying to keep distance they have longer reach

[@LiamCaldwell-cq9ot]

@@realcartop thats absolutely what you should be doing, keeping distance until you find openings to close the distance and get to your preferred range (close) with the least resistance and damage while moving through his preferred range (mid).

[@Jacktoriousrexrex]

@@realcartop when I said keeping distance I mean it makes the larger guy push in giving the shorter guy an opportunity to slip and counter. I was also talking from my perspective as someone who does Muay Thai against bigger opponents you don't want to be be taking too many kicks from them. It hurts very quickly 🤣

[@bigheadrhino]

I always felt like sparring shorter opponents was exhausting because of having to constantly keep away. Then I started clinching more and it became much easier.

That guy isnt just short, hes a short king. He knew that he was doing and he waited until you lowered your guard. Being short also kinds of gives you an advantage, since you can move way faster and be able to close the distance slowly. Great video, I definitely learned alot.

[@NotTheWheel]

What are you looking out for against someone who is shorter than you? Or I suppose what's gonna be the game plan of a short stop. Is it more body blows? Are they more quick on their feet? is it an endurance thing?

[@POVboxing]

It depends on what’s working for them, generally I want them to stay outside my range so I’m watching out for them to try slip and get closer. When they do this I’m looking for a counter for them to walk into. Basically I don’t want them to get under a punch and pop up closer to me without having to fight for it

[@alexkuhn3266]

For me it's always easier when I spar shorter opponents even if they have more experience, because there is no distance where they can reach me and I can't reach them back at the same time. And you always know, that he has to go in so you can pick defensive style, catch on attacks etc. If you're a short guy unfortunately you have to be aggressive and attack and risk because you're outplayed by the reach already.

[@POVboxing]

Yeah there’s a lot of people better than me but I just about manage to keep them at the perfect range outside my jab cross

[@evgeniyushkov7103]

But if the shorter guy lands a good body blow,you will crumble with your reach:)).

[@alexkuhn3266]

​@@evgeniyushkov7103 I think it works more in mid- weight. My friend won a competition in such weight just because he strikes harder than tall thin guys in his weight. But in heavy+ class any blow is dangerous. The only advantage of short guy is his speed because of short levers. But in my experience this rarely gives an advantage against opponents with the same skill level (and their range advantage does).
