hmmm... my advice would be to goto the body early and often counter punching. play a tight guard wait for your opponent to make mistakes but considering you don't have and long range weapons it makes it allot harder... your really going to learn how to fight using this guy. patience is your friend here. I wouldn't over extend my offence to keep up with a guy who spams but i would make it a war to the body make him hate throwing his power shot... so timing is going to have to be another one... when you have him weary of fighting inside walk him down but off the ring sidestep lots to bluff his offence and counter with an occasional right or left hook to the head. your a brawler, you have to fight like one and you want to trade when he throws but not at the expense of your stamina... your offence has to work like a slow medicine... i would stick to only one or two hooks pause till you stamina jumps then throw a 3,4 again when in doubt go to the body more than the head. pressure bursts pipes you have to add significant smart pressure while counter punching.
i would really work on your stamina and toughness also... you should look at how marvin hagler fights. slips sidestep in and trade to the body get into his chest. then apply more pressure by sticking with him until he throws, your whole game is punishing the guy off mistakes he makes, when you begin to fight like this i think you'll have more success...
those are my thoughts.
