I was Deontay Wilder facing a much shorter Rocky Marciano and thought this would be a great example of how to use a taller fighter effectively.
Taller fighters should focus on having space for their jabs and crosses, while not engaging in the pocket as often. You wanna stay mid-long ranger with these fighters to maximize their reach advantage and force the shorter fighter to be more aggressive.
These basic tips should help any new comers play to the strength of any tall fighter.
Basically the strategy using a taller fighter is patience and timing, and in the case of Deontay Wilder and his traits, setting up and waiting to use the right hand.
5 tips for tall fighters in Steel City Interactive's "Undisputed":
1) Know the traits of your fighter to know where they excel
2) Jab and stay on the outside timing the cross
3) Mix up the levels don't just target the head or the body, target both
4) Most taller fighters have better jabs and crosses, but don't neglect the hooks and uppercuts, timed well they hit hard.
5) Stay patient, stick to the gameplan.
