Help! Im having trouble whenever I go against a fighter who is taller than me whenever we spar in the gym. What are the things you need to do in order to get inside him? Do you recommend moving around a lot or should you just go forward and cover your face? Im sorry if this may seem like a stupid question

Double jabs always use plenty of feints as well turn him as you step around him then use that angel to get inside but start with the jab, once your there go to the body forget the head, drop a few shots down stairs to make him drop his hands then shoot up top.
My kid just scored a 19 second 1st round TKO on Sunday and he is going to be shorter than everybody he fights he is like 5'7 the guy he fought was around 6'3

Sometimes, you just gotta realize that you're gonna get hit by that jab.

Thanks for the help guys, i appreciate it! A lot of people here in the Philippines who are into boxing are as tall as me or taller than me. Once again, thanks for replying!

Remember, they're aiming for your head, so make them punch while you're fairly straight up and then slip under the shots by bending your knees while stepping in with the front foot first. Just don't go barging in head first and don't bend over too much like the guy in the video.
