I have a question about Height

756 Views 3 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Sonny Liston
I recently started training for boxing, and I am wondering if the fact that I am 5'10 is going to be a problem, I don't know if boxing has a lot to do with height, like I see myself going up against someone who is like 6'5 and getting pounded

Hey someone who is 5'2 can kick your ass as well.It's all about adjusting to your opponent.Get inside his reach or if he's that tall than go for the body early, that will bring him down.
Scout your opponent. Go to a fight of his. He might be the type of fighter that will bend down and not fight tall. Also tall fighters tend to reach with there punches rather than snap them. Also take The Auctioneers advice too.

What weight division do you hope to be in?
