  1. I'd rather see a "how to deal with a shorter opponent" video. I'm tall, and i find shorter people have an advantage in boxing. They can get up and in close to you under your punches, and it's not like you can duck theirs.

  2. Every boxer, or fighter in general, knows how annoying it is having to get past someone's reach. Probably the most annoying thing really. But this is another reason why I don't prefer boxing now a days. If you can use your legs, you have more options and reach doesn't matter as much. Sorry boxers, you are limited.

  3. I'm really short and build like a rugby player. As a matter of fact, I'm build similar to Maradona when he was actively playing soccer. I used to play rugby in my younger years. It is always awkward for other boxers when we pair up for practice because they always tell me that I'm too close to them. However, if I stay at their comfortable distance, they always hit me while I cannot even reach them.

  4. Had to learn these myself:

    Moving my head constantly
    Feinting with footwork and punches
    Blocking, parrying, interrupting
    Cutting the ring
    Level changes, making him believe you're headhunting so that you can sneak in a couple of shots to the body while you're moving inside
