hey guys
i took cardio boxing for 2 months, done some light sparring during class, today me and a friend decided to put on gloves and spar at a park.

he's about 6'0, 150 lbs and im around 5'6 weigh 120lbs, thnk he took some boxing before but not for long.

anyway, when we sparred i pretty much jsut tucked my head down, blocking my face most of time. and whenever i tried to get him it just didnt connect, cause he had a longer reach. is there a way around this when facing a taller opponent or how should i approach a different way to train?

please help.
thanks in advance guys, feel free to criticize.
