Attempt 2 of asking Tony Jeffries to react to Hajime No Ippo
Can you do one for fighting a shorter opponent too?
For us tall guys plz 😂
I hope to be able to train with you dear brother tony, you might see me in the future, i saw a clear vision of me being successful in boxing, im from the philippines 🇵🇭
@Tony A taller person doesn't always have a longer reach. The smaller guy should make himself smaller by bending his Knees a bit more to make himself even harder to hit.
There are a lot of taller people who find it difficult to throw strikes lower because they ain't used to striking lower.

Forget and forgive him is the best revenge.

This is meant for childhood man😂
So… basically be Mike Tyson
For Mike Tyson there were no taller Opponents. There all were just Lunch for him.
Yes
@@primesuspect8198 Lewis beat Tyson on reach alone. It was almost as boring a fight as Holyfield v Valuev.
@@itskarl7575 yeah, but which Tyson? A overweight, slow , no-spirit Tyson
@@itskarl7575 True, but would that have happened with pre prison "Cus D'Amato" Mike? I'm in the nope boat for that.
As a short person, I appreciate this 😌🙏
Tall people also see this
Fr
As a tall person, thx for letting me know what 2 watch out for!
So you think you are tall ?.but you have small Brain😂
😂
The feet thing makes a lot of sense. Had a rugby coach years ago always told us to get our feet in close when tackling big lads. Makes you more accurate and explosive.
Couldn't the bigger guys just power through?
@@MegaCharizardX2op yeah sometimes 😅
I wish I would have found you a long time ago!!! I have never gotten into a fight, thank God! But just knowing this, the one girl that did wanna fight me, if I had known this before, I wouldn't have walked away from her. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise!!!!❤
You did the best possible thing- if you avoided a street fight you won it.
"Chop the leg!!!"
😂 The amount of times I heard this while competing ahahahhaha 🫡✌️
I'm 6,7 feet tall, i invite you to chop my legs! I assure you it's not that easy!
Agreed! Most big guys are absolutely unprepared for that.
Excellent advice only can be given by an experienced guy like you Tony 😊👍
solid and simple advice! well done!
My plan is elegant in its simplicity: I'm showing up with Tony
Who's Tony?
@@MangoIsLove55the tiger
That's funny but unfortunately, that won't happen. Not unless you're his wife.
The way you feint looks so cool 😎
How to win against an overly aggressive opponent that suffocates you from the start? I think this is probably the closer scenario to a real street fight.
Check hook, step off the line
Lateral movement
hit some lateral raises
Gouge the eyes.
Change levels and take them down
Problem with getting in close if you’re just a boxer (if it’s a street fight) is it’s possible he will just grab onto you and manhandle you to the ground if he has any training…or sense. Boxers should learn grappling and grapplers should learn boxing.
Keep up the great work!
One more important thing is to make sure they can’t hit body punches either.
As a tall man, I thank for what to look out for
If you're tall, just tank it and power through.
@@MegaCharizardX2op Great advice to give those big guys! But you forgot to tell them to poke their chins out because they'll have a stronger jaw
Great videos by the way. A Forearm to the teeth is always a good and quick move to do damage and it saves your knuckles does minimal or no damage to your Forearm its fast and they dont see it coming like a punch it does alot of damage covers alot more square inches than your fist its a great move to get out of a situation..always get off first..never sucker but always get off first it could save your live.
I remember my cousin, when we were younger, him doing exactly this to his tall bully. I was worried for him at the time, but the feint in to close the distance definitely made the difference and he beat his bully's a$$ that day!
This is a bit tricky to do in a streetfight due to opponents having weapons and you being outnumbered. The solution is to move like this but quickly.
your voice has great tonality 😂😂
u went high pitch and low low
ur the champ thanks yayo
Finally, someone with experience in boxing that's on youtube
Kicks. Hyperextend that knee. Kick in the groin. Downward shin kicks. Kicks to the outside of knees.
You're in a boxing channel, dude...
Guess what, if kicking is allowed, your opponent will use kicks as well. He may actually be able to counter your kicks with punches, because his punching range might well be your kicking range.
Wtf is a downward shin kick 😂
a taller man will have longer legs as well you must get uncomfortably close or he he will kick the shit out of you you must block going FORWARD no back ward
@@mrtomas0990 you need me to draw that out with crayons? I wish I could demonstrate it to you in person. 🤣
Great advice once again, thank you.
Puts me in a head lock😂
Facts bro we are getting guillotined 😅
The Jack Dempsey-Mike Tyson Style of Bobbing & Weaving always works to KO bigger guys...But you need to train hard for that though... thanks for this video... 💪💥👍👍💖
Headmovement, slip jabs WHILE taking small steps forward and right overhands. Plus bodywork when in infight
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
Tony Tony Tony. I love your videos mate. Keep up the good work
Watching this really appreciates, even more so, what a beast iron mike was in his prime and still today
Good advice 🤜👊🤛
Good shit mate
Great gloves man!
Awesome tips, could you share tips when it’s the opposite and you are the taller opponent, how best to defend against shorter opponents that crowd you?
Great focus in the feet for as a point of reference
Im from LATAM, but I love your videos at original english lenguage, I dont undestand a fk, but I like it more than translated to spanish.
Very interesting 👌 thanks lot for sharing 👍 🧡 💚 💜
My legs are longer than most arms. A kick worked also as shock value when someone's teeth got kicked out; it gave me a split-second to run when everyone's eyes turned towards the bleeding mouth. I was surrounded & being groped. It was scary. I just reacted. Luckily I had been working out & had very strong legs.
Getting kicked in the jaw is crazy, if anyone smart enough saw you lifting your leg, they would either blocked with their forearm, caught the leg, or just taking a step back before lunging back in. You're lucky that the people surrounding you were easily distracted or else, you would've been thrown back.
always great boxing tips! i hope that you, your wife and your girls are great. always your fan, kenny
I got ur point ❤
Very good tips thanks
That’s why Mike Tyson was so lethal. Especially in the late 80’s, Cus had him with all of those skills mastered at that time
Well said tony
Beautiful! Thank you
Sadly outside of the ring , as sometimes is just is, stepping into range probably means I’m getting stabbed. (Hi from Scotland bro I miss LA - glad to see you’re doing well)
I think that when faced with a taller opponent on the street who aggressively gets in your face that it might be easier to headbutt him than to carry out a boxing move against him.
And this is why we giants love the teet kick. Somewhere you have to have your center of gravity and it stops the little guys for good. If he then think he can go BJJ all in, a nice knee to the head usually convince him otherwise. But things are decided in the ring and not in the written word. :D
Can you help me with a brawler I have my first fight coming up in August and a lot of the people my age like to brawl and In case I get one can you help me with it by making a video also you have helped me grow a lot in boxing thanks
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.
One of the biggest problems I have in boxing class is being scared to move close to the bag, because if I’m closer then I feel that I have no momentum to hit hard so I stay back a bit but then it makes uppers and hooks awkward to do
I’ll do 1 pushup for every like this comment gets

Feels scary to get close to a taller person and fight face to face but I guess it's better than keeping distance and getting punched because of range
Very beautiful gloves
Instructions unclear: I got in a fight with Halfþor Björnson and now I'm in the hospital with a broken spirit.
Hello mr jeffries, im curious what shoes youre wearing. Im planning to buy shoes for boxing this week
Forget fighting standing up. You got to get them on the ground. I’ve only lost one fight in my life and it’s when the guy got me on the ground.
Would you please show me how to aim your punches for accuracy and power.
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.
When you're tall, the opponent will almost always go for throat punches or chokeholds. I've never seen a small guy go for trying to box-up a tall guy.
Really help
Being a short arse I can tell you if you keep moving alot of guys aren't even gonna wanna fight because all that movement lets them know that you know how to not get hit and that means they better know how to fight.
I'm only 5'11, but man do I want to someday have a rematch with the 6'6 guy that broke my arm.
Great video, I’ll keep my 10 ft distance so I don’t have to do all the mma and kung fu fighting bull dung. I can’t fight for jack. Just need 10 ft and let my POM do the work.
I like his Training.
In a non boxing scenario use muay thai or learn grappling/judo height isn’t gonna matter when both on ground but remember weight does play a role and overall strength but that’s fine because you can be shorter and still equal or surpass his weight in muscle and can be physically stronger taller doesn’t equal stronger
Ask the two guys fighting eddie hall hiw it worked out for them getting closer to him😂. But jokes aside those shurely are some good Tipps
I normally do a lower stance forcing them to throw lower punches which means odd angle and lesser power and good for slips. Alot of short boxer do this like Tyson, Gervonta, Pcquaio Etc.
now i can counter shorter people, thank you!!
You could also duck low, forcing him to punch downwards instead of straight punches
I am a tall person i am watching this video to learn how to fight a shorter person😂
He forgot the one about announcing that you don't want to fight before you hit him
Success ❌sukses✅
go to judo/jujitsu long enough to learn to do a throw. pretty easy when your center of gravity is lower than the taller guy. if you're taller, you have to pull them up to your height and over.
Im the taller opponent thanks for telling me what tò expect!
Do boxing and stay in the range of your arms. Wow nice tip !
Yes 💯👍🏻
I want a whole series about fighting an opponent who’s bigger faster and stronger….i kno it can be done repeatedly
I'm not the hater of you, but it is very difficult to complete what you have just said. In the real fight your opponent will not wait for your head movements and for your tricks he will be highly aggressive and fast and 90% of your tips won't work in there.
Bob and weave, like Tyson 💪
Are you a world champion ?
Or do you have footage fighting in street fights ? Or fighting an asian like filipino ?
i want to know sir .

"If you're in there with a taller person than you?"
Kiss Him! 💋
Taller opponents punch down, have reach. but they also have a longer pull back time, as they throw you can come in as they are pulling their hands back and slip to the inside. In and out motions make you very scary.
Slip and hitting the body, and working the uppercut and jabbing on the way out. those are the types of opponents I would be very wary of. combine that with foot work and the castomato shift. im going to be like a clam in its shell until i get range again.
Good tips
If Sun Tzu had a smartphone, he could watch what his opponent was watching and plan accordingly. Easy w
The smaller guy comes closer to me. Perfect! Time for a grabble 😂
Remember- always train your running away skills - it's the best tactic against taller dude😂
nice🔧🔥
Ty now i can watchout for shorter person
Tony sounds like every guard in Fable
What if it was Mike tyson ?
I am short. Try to emulate Tyson. I mean, nobody has his natural speed and power, but use head movement and get close. Unload hooks and uppercuts with lots of hip movement.
I watch this and think that's Mike Tyson's style when he was against taller opponents. This has to be an important video as usually the taller guy is the bully
If the taller person weighs more than you and he grabs you you're fucced. Always be prepared to destroy a threat as quickly as possible. That's with weapons or otherwise if you're not trained don't even bother with what he's saying.
First thing is, avoid any kind of trouble
Can you do if the guy is shorter? I’m 6’5” and would like to know the other way around. I know staying outside using the jab but anything else?
Am I the only one here who thought of Hajime no Ippo after hearing all the instructions? 🤔
Why did I think they were going to smooch
