I'm 5'9 and I versed 6'1 and the overhand right was exactly what I landed that stopped the fight, best punch against taller fighters.
haha nice!
Yeah I'm always scared to throw it too I should have said f it and done it 😂 lesson learned
@@esaidelgado3650 its more of a punch u need to wait some time to throw, like try not to force it and use it more of a counter
I used to box and I'm 6'4. I used to keep most overhands at bay with a stiff jab. In boxing, shorter guys want to be on the inside not getting hit by full extention of long arms and using their shorter arms to an advantage, but height isn't the only variable. Arm length matters substantially as well, and it varies. I have an 81" (6'9")arm length at 6'4" which isn't common for white men, but i have short legs for my height. Black men generally have more limb length to height ratio. So, a shorter person can have as much reach, or less than a taller person depending on length of arms. The overhand is perfect for shorter people with long arms against taller people with arms
@@revdanimal1523True, cause I have the reach of a 5 foot 8 guy even though I'm 5 foot 5 and a half...
5'11 vs 6'
nice
Lol
Lol
Na maybe 6"1 Or 6"2
4'11 vs 7'
definitely needed this. I'll be fighting an opponent who is standing at 6'1 tall while im only 5'7 tall in two days from now
Thanks brother. i always go to your channel whenever i need some fight guides
May your channel prosper
thank you bro!
mark anthony andales how was it bro
@@noahlaneville3299 I won against my opponent yesterday night. It was a tough fight. I just use the counter leg kick to my opponent. we both suffered leg injuries today xD xD
@@KusgangDako nice
@@KusgangDako well done man
Thx from this tips i can defeat my dad
haha!
That's why I wanted to watch thid
My three favorite techniques are
Left low kick right cross.
Left hook thrown like a jab right roundhouse kick.
Left hook right cross similar to Mike Tyson.
You are a hero.
cheers!
I'm sparring next Saturday with a 6'2 Thai fighter 😭🤣 I needed this
Another great video Jeff. Thank you.
Thanks for the support!
Amazing video. I'll help me in the future, mate.
thanks bro!
MMAShredded thanks to you. I've learned a lot watching your tutorials. I will always appreciate your help and tips :)
Ask any questions anytime!
MMAShredded I will. Thanks again. Have an awesome week :D
2:16-2:19 That appeared in the anime 'Hajime no Ippo'
oh my gosh im 5'8 too thanks for these tips i subscribed
thanks for watching!
for us, every strike we throw should be followed up with blocks, slipping or weaving. they're looking to punish every move we make lol
What if he's heavier than me? I'm 5'10 155 dude is 200 pounds 6'3
you are fucked!!!
I’m a 5’7 14 year old boxer and a 6’1 17 year old was messing with me saying im a weak scrawny freshman, he shoved me so I hit him with a jab, overhand right and left hook he no longer wanted anything to do with me
haha good job!
ITs all good but do you have a version of this vid without the music ?
Volkanovski did the low kick tactic to max holloway 👍
yeah!
Man I thought Jeff was atleast 5'10 or 5'11 lol.
haha nope :P I fight at bantamweight
so you basically thought he was about the same height he actually is... cool
Hes 5 foot 9 which is average
@@MMAShredded holy crap, so you fight at 118lbs??
@@justin57153 no, not kickboxing (and boxing) bantamweight. The MMA bantamweight which is 135 (realistically 150+ lbs when you factor in the weight cutting). Hell, if you think about it, Sean O'Malley, wo is a bantamweight would be a average sized light middleweight in boxing. The weight difference is insane😂😂
I like how you showed real life example, but hes like beginner and too thin~
How much did the tall guy weigh?
2:00
So this is how mgk and eminem fight would look like
haha
the other dude should just eat more every meal, way too skinny as his 6'4 tall.
You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel.
cheers!
I like how you showed real life examples.
Thanks for the support 949!
Watching this video after I got my ass beat by leg kicks by a guy who is 6,2 and I’m 5,7😂
HAHAHA keep your head up!
lliquid_ nah just a kickboxing spar. Not gonna happen again tho.
@lliquid_ for tall guys I always use jiu jitsu.
@lliquid_ I bench 205 at 120 bodyweight and have very little bodyfat. Instagram @poprunna if u want to see what I look like.
@lliquid_ thank you!
I mean if you’re shorter and u wrestle thats an automatic advantage
I know this is old but I just used this in sparing it worked like a charm I went from getting absolutely destroyed to holding my ground somewhat. Thank you!
Uppercut jab to overhand right!!!! love it!! thanks man
awesome! Thanks for watching bro!
awesome video, jeff. fighting much taller fighters can be so frustrating. you answered a lot of questions i've been wondering about. when you get the time, maybe do one about defeating them on the ground, like a more grappling focused video. i have a lot of trouble with tall guys who are flexible. passing their guard is so much more difficult, you always get tangled or hooked on something and their locks are deeper.
Hey Nathan, thanks for the idea. I also hate going against long limbed & tall grapplers. I am going to try to roll with the tallest guys tonight and see if I can come up with this video!
How about go for the ACL? 🤷♂️
Thanks! I am a 5 f twoman and I spar with guys that are 6ft plus 🤣 this is great !! My tactic is always to be very fast but that is very tiring
damn!
Jesus christ the music is loud😂😂💀
2:12 what about reverse punch to the head
im sure it could work if you practice it enough!
Do you know (5 7) Canelo Alvarez!? He is fighting (6 ft 3)Callum Smith he is a big man!
damn!
Wow impresive i dint know you had a fight record. Amazing
thanks for watching!
Wow!!...............
th-cam.com/video/BYtO7iPlb5c/w-d-xo.html
why would the uppercut jab be hard to see for a taller opponent? its sneaky and vertical thus hard to perceive but what does this have anything to do with being more effective against a taller opponent? i mean, they are looking down on you, and the punch is coming from where they are looking at, wouldn't uppercut jabs be more effective thrown by tall and lanky opponents against shorter ones? you are taller so they are not seeing uppercuts coming, and it takes shorter to reach to their heads especially since they are also far from you punches with their long arms. a perfect example of this is alexander gustafsson.
This will be my situation in 1 month!! She's 5' 7" I'm 5' 1" ... thank you for the video as my game plan has been to attack the lead leg.
You are 5'8? Awesome! Me too.
Yes i am haha.
How old are you guys im 5 foot 9
im 5-5 smh
At 1:59 was that Sean Fagan?
haha yes!
I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM YOU. KEEP IT UP MASTER JEFF!!!
thanks bro!!!!
I’m 5’5 for I’ve fought 6ft + guys for fun (MMA sparring and mix matches) never lost a single fight to the tall boys, legs and body, and you better know how to weave to counter the drastic range
I am 5"3 and hesitate if learning fighting even has any reasn in my situation Am I be even able to do something agianst someon who is even 5"8 not saying about some 6f tall guys
lol thanks to watching this video I was able to apply the uppercut jab and overhand right against a taller orthodox opponent in Sanda sparring today! Feels great adding and successfully applying new weapons to the arsenal!
Thats great brother! Glad to hear!
that's me vs my brother im 5,3 hes 5,11 I sometimes win.
Haha damn
Damn this is some solid shit. Glad I clicked on your videos.
Thanks for your support!
Lol I would be so mad he's only doing 2 moves
thanks mate i was getting beat up at sparrings by taller guys
cheers!
I mean if you’re short, but muscular going against a dude who’s a chopstick I wouldn’t be worried.
Lmao my philosophy exactly
YES FINALLY TIPS TO COUNTER A TALLER GUY. Cause everytime when I spar a bigger dude than I am when I try rushing in he feels me away and when I can some good body hooks he puts me in a clench(I’m a really aggressive and technical fighter and I really like to put the pressure on my opponents to give me time to do some techniques on them)
thanks for watching!
As the 6’4 guy now I know what I can expect
0:12 Stay in the outside and counter
2:01 overhand right
What can you do if the guy is 6,5 weighing more like 200 something Wouldn’t the leg slams be less effective?
kicking the leg will always hurt, no matter how big you are haha. Can you win a fight only on low kicks? it really depends on your opponent and how good you are with your low kicks
3:05 that counter punch thought 😂
I’m a pretty good fighter but this kid at school who is way taller than me is trying to start something even tho I know I can beat him I just don’t wanna underestimate I shall edit my comment to say if I win or lose
are you still 5'9? or was this before you grew
5'8 still yes lmao
Im 5'8 205lb 17 inch arms ok wrestling skills ok /average boxing skills 20% bf
"6,3 boxer watching this video to know what smaller boxers will try" me
jeff how many amatuer muay thai fights/kickboxing do u have?
Jeff, please post a video of you and your shorter sparring partner, he looked great, as did your counters. Would be good to give an example of what both shorter and taller fighters need to be aware of.
I should have it posted under a video called dealing with a Mike Tyson styled fighter!
Short guys are still faster and generate more force.
you have really dynamic moving and combinations! but i think thats not good idea if you going close combat with taller opponent they can to get out of your balance this is my person experience (me too 5'8 ) :D
I agree, I like to stay on the outside instead of going close. But if you are skilled in the pocket, it does work very well.
I was able to put in more hits in mma sparring by using leg and body kicks ( right leg for legs and left for body since not everyone can suspect a left kick to the body)
nice!
Than overhand is sweet if you are a southpaw against an orthodox tall fighter
Yall would most likely get squashed be real wit yoself
What organization were you fighting with here?
I think Throwdown in Otown... I can't remember!
@@MMAShredded Thanks
I'm exactly 5'8 I can never get past long guards man
Im a tall fighter jus tryna eliminate my weaknesses 😂
The irony behind me looking for these videos is that I'm not a short guy. I'm 6.3 but the guy that gives me a hard time during sparring is almost 7 feet 😆
wow 7 ft ?! hhahaa
It's also good to know how a shorter opponent could counter you!
Jeff my bro, that sparring session looked intense. Awesome content and tips as always but how do stick to your game plan bro?
what do you mean? hahahah.
MMA Shredded every time I spar someone with a crazy reach advantage, I lose that plan and start instinctively start boxing. How do you keep that awesome mental focus you have my bro
ohhh . hmm i guess my natural instinct is to start kicking when it gets tough hahaha
MMA Shredded lmao😂😂 you are too awesome bro
Jaycee Styles
Look up Gene Kim
i am confused did your competition not have weight classes? that guy looked way to skinny for his height. I am 6'4 my self and these guys that think being a skeleton will make you faster and strike harder or some how improve your fighting ability are dead wrong.
haha who knows
how tall are you know? did you grow taller?
You are a fucking inspiration. Love these please keep them up brother
thanks for watching bro!
5”8, and I bench 245. I run a mile 7 mins flat! Ha ha ha I have fun at this size!
beast!
I'm 5'8 watching this just in case I will face Jerry Yan because he's 5'11
I love the bass boosted royalty free music, good video
thanks for watching!
I had to refresh my technique haha I forgot about this technique counter the counter
haha!
I’ma try it 🏃
🤕fuck
Great Video! I always am fighting taller opponents!
thanks!
eminem and mgk lmao
jef sifu can u please give me u gym shedule . i try trained for one year but still look fat i didn t change my food patron please give me some advice
Nah don’t ever try to throw a overhand punch against a taller fighter will the fight will easily be able counterattack you the taller fighter will come right at u with a another punch
Also just a tip, be careful of the taller persons jabs. If their taller then you most likely their reach is longer then yours do they’ll beat you at jabs so don’t stay in defense and eating jabs unless you have a strategy.
fought a 6ft guy the other day. damn he fucked me up really bad. now i carry my gun with me jstu in case
What if he’s taller and heavier.. it’s obvious. The guy in the video is a walking stick
No offense but that music is really terrible imo i have to mute it everytime
I can agree, old video haha..
no. if your fighting a taller opponent. they will not be the same weight as you the day of the fight. likely he will be 15 to 20 pounds heavier than you.
so in a street fight the tall fighter has a huge advantage. in mma or boxing they do too but not as large cause u can’t dirty fight
Superman punch to the nose, calf kicks, body shots.
as a 6,4 guy wow
Close the gap
Calf kicks and hitting his Xiphisternum with a cross as hard as you can.
Against tall opponent Mike Tyson and Zambidis Style are the best
But if a long person kicks it will be more painfull from a longer distance
Bro I hate being 5’8 😭 why god whyyyy
Hhha
Floyd watching this right now 😂
haha!
Im6"6
M
I stand at 5’6 and a bit
cheers!
What happene if tall guy equal as short guy
I don't understand what you are asking
in thai 20year ago have a one taller fighter
he is a master of kick and knee combo
his body same taller in your video
ป.v นุนะ Dieselnoi Chor Thanasukarn? He is legendary for his knees from the plum
Great video! So what advice would you give for fighting a tall southpaw fighter as an orthodox fighter in a muaythai match? I feel like a straight cross to the body would be kind've risky because they could just eat it and counter with a cross to your face. I also feel like a left uppercut or a right overhand would be hard to land against a southpaw. I've also heard people say you shouldn't use the overhand right against a southpaw. Although I'll admit I'm not that experienced so I could be wrong.
Overhand right into a corkscrew uppercut works well with a tall southpaw!
Ok thanks I'll try that next time I'm sparring against that annoying tall left handed guy at my gym :)
awesomee
LOVE those sweeps! bravo! At 2:47 ; Good partner also
thank you!!
