 Being taller than your opponent and/or having a longer reach can give you an advantage. Even coming in heavier than your opponent on fight night can give you the upper hand. When you break it down, any physical advantage you have over your opponent, gives you the upper hand to some degree. The difference between winning and losing comes down to skills, abilities, heart and game plan.

Do judges consider this when forming a decision?
