Insight fighting – Okay, you have decided to come in and in the process, receive some punches. Now it is at your hands to use everything in your arsenal to inflict as much damage as you can. Inside fighting is a style of its own and it will take years to develop the finesse and proper skill to become a good in this style. Still, you just have to remember a few things when dealing with taller opponent from the inside.
• First, since your opponent has longer arms, it is more difficult for him to throw short punches. Alternately, shorter arms gain more advantage in inside fighting.
• Second, never expose any of your vital organs. Inside fighting involves some uppercuts and punches on the sides. Keep your chin guarded with your gloves and your sides protected by tucking your arms as close to your body as possible.
• Third, do not hesitate to put your forehead on his chest. Doing this allows you to gauge your distance from your opponent, which will help you better judge the strength of your punches.
• Finally, keep throwing punches and if you can't throw anymore, either clinch or get out as fast as you can.
Choosing to fight an inside game against a taller opponent must require total authority and decisiveness. Never walk into your opponent hesitantly. Explode into him, corner him, push him back, and punish him. Do not become an easy target.
As a smaller boxer, you should be quicker. Never move in a straight line. Weave, duck, move sideways or do anything that will make you an elusive target. If you succeed in these, you have better chances of winning the fight.
