I'm all too happy to comment:
"THE COMPACT FIGHTER: Philip Ameris (right) faces the opponent in a closed fighting stance (1). Ameris closes the distance with a left uppercut (2), then continues to set up the other man with a right reverse punch, which pushes his head back in preparation for the next technique (3). He immediately transitions into kicking mode and delivers the knockout blow: a right hook kick (4)."
Why the hell would ANYONE close the distance with an uppercut? An uppercut is a CLOSE RANGE punch. Correctly thrown, you should be forehead to forehead with your opponent before throwing an uppercut.
It is true that different sizes fight differently.
But leading with an uppercut?
Or leading with a hook?
I wouldn't suggest it.Comment

your right about the uppercut but what i thought was cool was how he kind of diagramed each kind of fighting style and now that i have been watching i have noticed he is right. most of the smaller guys ( 5'-5'6" ) are faster throw more punces and have quick compact strong movements. the average size guy ( 5'7"-6' ) are fairly fast have power but are slightly slower than the smaller guys. also they tend to fight from farther away. then the tall lanky guys ( 6'-? ) fight from far away and use their legs to distance themselves.Comment
