First off, you don't win boxing matches by "taking hits", you win by hitting the other guy while avoiding his attempts to hit you.  You take away his reach advantage by getting inside and fighting in close.  Understanding the importance of distance in relation to the effectiveness of exchanges is the difference between smothering his power and getting knocked out.  The ability to slip, block, and use both upper body movement in co-ordination with foot work is the second half of the equation.   You must compensate for his greater power and reach by understanding where at in relation to the distance between you and him his punches land with the greatest impact, then either step inside to meet them before they reach maximum force or use movement to avoid them altogether.  It is a dangerous and risky course of action, but it is the only way to defeat a superior opponent.  I am not going to B.S. you, it is not easy to beat someone who is physically your superior, you must use distance to your advantage, and to do it right you must overcome the natural desire to retreat, and get closer to your opponent then you want to.  The price you pay for mistakes is usually very high, but done correctly you can over come his physical advantages.

Your "anger problem" and your "swinging randomly" are two separate issues.  Anger is a distraction, and it would be best if you could stay focused at the task at hand, avoiding a bigger heavier puncher is something you need to concentrate on 100% of the round, it only take one mistake to get you knocked out, so in that respect you must do more than simply repress your anger.  Understand that we all react to fear with anger, anger is socially and psychologically more acceptable than fear, so it is human nature to get angry instead of acknowledging your fear.  You must master your fear, then you will find that anger is nolonger an issue.

The lack of control is fatal, if you cannot maintain a measured and focused attack, you will quickly exhaust yourself and eventually the stronger, faster taller opponent will nail you enough times to knock you out.  You must force yourself to relax, and maintain a measured pace, or you must stop boxing.  Without a measured, controlled pace, you are lost so practice control in sparring, and make the conscious choice to apply discipline to your attack and defense during your matches or quit boxing altogether, you are almost assured of disaster if you attempt to box without control.

Answer 8

next time you have encounter, a man stronger than you. just try to relax and study his moves, don't get angry when you have been hit  you'll get your turn. the secret is let him be the first to attack you.  and then counter his attack. punch him were you know he will be hurt more. just repeat it again and again. surely you will win. just practice your speed and strong punch.

Answer 9

You have to get inside on him, he's gonna have the longer reach, so don't get caught up on the outside trying to out-jab him. Once your inside, then its gonna be easier for you to counter his punches, because everytime he throws, you should see the punches coming, and if his reach isn't at full effect then that should take of some of the power he's coming at you with. Do not get mad, just be smart, work the body and open up the head, and from there all roads lead to glory!

Answer 10

if he is 5 inches taller get in close on him do alot of ducking and make him eat uppercuts under his chin or try to put them in his nose watch the hooks thats the only punch hes gonna have if you have your guard over your face for the upper cuts

Answer 11

keep it on the inside, like julio cesar chavez did against the murderous punching edwin rosario.......ie, take away his leverage.
