When fighting an opponent with a longer reach what do you suggest? I have heard to stay inside his reach and cut angles Is there any other tips?

Wen i sparr with a person havin a larger reach i do some things differeent. I usually try to stay inside and swich angles like u said. But also try to bob and weave close to him and throw continuous punches. Uppercuts are really good wen ur close to ur opponeny. But to get inside you gotta throw continous jabs until he gets lazy. else uur opponent will just jab u out. once u do this u just bob weave, get close to him , uppercuts etc. Hope this helps Bud.

I would also check out Roberto Duran films.

Back and forth left and right lateral movement negates some reach advantage by attacking from the side.

Some people shy away from bobbing and weaving, but I love it. I would do that, practice slips, and anything that coincides with short rhythm fighting. If it still seems like they are getting away, then try cornering them by stepping in the direction they step and add pressure.

What I Always Did Was Jab Backwards Until He Started Building Too Much Momentum Towards Me, Then I Stepped In With A Straight Right. Doesnt Always Work. But Makes For A Hell Of A Hit. Let The Guy Get Over Aggressive And Think Hes Got You On The Run. Then While He's Between Jabs, Crack Him With That Cross. Its Nice To Land That Hard Of A Punch On That Big Of A Guy. Try It Out. If Its Not For You, Then Dont Use It.

I think Tyson used to do this sometimes. Hagler too. Duran used to come straight in jabbing, step to the and then attack both the head and body from the side.
