Using the superior reach starts with the legs. Dropping the gloves instead of nailing them to either forehead or chin gets him hits. Loosing the rhythm and getting out of breath means all together that you did not manage to having gotten to know your opponent to your advantage.
But than, it was a friendly...
Dominate from first split second by marching tall straight forward and test his glove guard until you get out of breath to see if he counters or runs. Breath, lower pulse, again... from either infighting or distance.
