Hey everyone. I have this friend that is about 6 ft 1 and 180 pounds and im 5 ft 5 and 135 and he had never beat me in just straight up boxing until today.Whenever he tried to box me, i started putting my head down and not looking where i was hitting> I need some advice on what to do about that and how not to put my head up and i need advice on how to box him because of his long reach.

youre 5 5' and he's 6 1'? Man, do you have to jump in order to punch him? haha!

You dont actually have to fully focus on your opponents face to hit him there. I like to use perhifal (spelled wrong:( ) vision. Focus on his chest bone and monitor his movements. But your head may be exposed with that hieght disadvantage. I know the best way to get in on a man with a longer reach and thats by getting in close and throw short jabs and hooks. So, I would say, work his body, in close and don't worry about head shots from a distance. Once you crowd him, he will hunch over to block your body shots, thats your time to mix it up and go head hunting.

Well how can i get inside of his reach mabye by bobbing or weaving and how can i stop looking at the ground because when he starts hitting me in the face, i put my head down so he wont hit me in the face but in the back of my head but then i am swingin blindly are there any websites that show how to bob and weave? please help

I know what you mean!
I think the only way to overcome that protective kind of action is to spar more, ang develop 'body feel' etc, then you won't be afraid to face him, and evade offensively.

I'm still getting there though!
