I'll be sure to let you know how I'm doing in the future with the guy.

Are you guys the same height? or is he also taller?
If you are about the same height, play the distance game and set up your punches. Get him thinking you're going to throw a certain combo and suprise.
If you are shorter, keep your head moving, hands up and try to work out of his pressure with counterpunching. Eg. parry his jab, slip the cross (notice where your weight is now positioned after the slip!!!???) and immediately counter with a hook, cross or hook uppercut.
