If you are shorter, you are going to have to be faster, and be in better shape. Know that you can throw more punches and you can outlast your opponent. You will have to work harder to win that fight and will need to use more energy. So practice harder than the rest of them. Get used to running backwards and in, and forward and in; in circular motions toward their lead hand or leg. use lowline attacks to keep their legs in check, just stomping on their legs works nicely. And once your inside make them pay for the punishment you had to take getting in there. One of the best things you can do is just start jumproping until you cant jumprope anymore, jog, and start hitting your bags until you know that you can thow 1000 solid punches everyday whether you are feeling great, or sick as hell. Closing the distance is a heck of a lot easier when your feeling great while your opponent is trying to catch his breath.
