    Is reach really a big advantage? I just see more shorter guys beating up long guys than the other way around. For example, Fedor, Cain, Jorge Masvidal? And even in sparring, me myself, i'm a long guy with a reach advantage over a lot of dudes, and I feel like its too easy to throw big bombs on me, i feel the overhand right is perfect to do on me, because i'm so long and these short dudes can just throw it all they want. its harder to fight going backwards than just moving forward, i'm much better at fighting like a pitbull, just going forward, i'm not a good go-back fighter

      height and reach matters if you can use it.

    • @naoimporta58
      @naoimporta58 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      There are some factors you should get into account, like smaller reach is better if you are close to the guy. You can't punch as hard if you can't fully extend your arms, so if you have a longer reach but both of you are within punching distance, it already means that the other guy has an advantage, because you won't be punching full force if you can't extend your arms all the way(IDK, if you ever heard in boxing or MMA " that guy's punch has no snap", the "snap" is punching without pushing, and if you have a longer reach, and you're close to your opponent, the likelihood is that you will push your punches and not snap them). IDK if you watch boxing(And I mean boxing, not UFC) who looks more for clinch-type situations(Not only clinch itself, but being close to the opponent) Mike Tyson or Anthony Joshua ? That's right: Mike Tyson's gameplan was to be generally closer to his opponents, in the heavyweight division, he was a fucking midget, with 1,78m for his height and 180 cm for his reach, against guys who easily were in the 190's cm of reach, and easily 1,90 m in height, being smaller meant the close he got to his opponent, the more ineffective their punches were. Well, of course, pro-boxers are trained to generate the best amount of force from any punch from any angle they can land, so even if Joshua punches you from a clinch and from his worst angle, even if it's not his prefered method of fighting, it will still be extremely lethal.
      TL;DR, you should use your jab as a deterrent, with your weak hand try to set up a overhand and/or a cross with your strong hand. Always make use of your jab to let the opponent know " Hey I'm here". Jab is the most important punch you can throw in any situation, you can use it to set up your combination and figure out your opponents habits(Like, if he ducks or if he bobs, weaves, etc), but the jab is even more important if you have a long reach, you can keep your opponent at bay, applying pressure constantly and smothering your opponent, he won't be able to think clearly and you just gotta jab. Oh and by no means throw the "Lazy jab". Lazy jab is a good way to get knocked out with an overhand. Hope I could help.

    • @Writeous0ne
      @Writeous0ne 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Eros Viana basically the longer the reach the further your chin is from the opponent when you hit them. That's if you learn to use it properly.
