First thread on Sherdog :icon_chee
So basically I was wondering what is everyones go to tactics in order to land the jab, or out jab the taller man?
For me personally I would say it comes down to 3 main tactics
- doubling the jab (making sure to throw it as fast as you can because a lazy jab gives the taller man too much time to react)
-stepping closer into range(taking small baby steps inside of your opponents reach) to land the jab
-slipping inside of your opponents jab and countering with your own.
I feel that the body jab is very useful against a taller opponent because his body will often be closer to you than his head. After repeatedly catching him to the body, he will most likely pull his body back to protect it and thus, lean his head forward. That's a great time to land a powerful blow to his chin. Andre Ward did this with the right straight to the body instead of the jab to set up his left hook on Chad Dawson.
