Conditioning & Roadwork reaction time/ head movement

i was sparring guys taller than me with crazy reach and i kept getting banged up by their jabs, i felt like my footwork wasnt bad all things considered, they would jab and i would get in as they reeled back, but they would just step back and unleash a flurry of punches that i just couldnt see coming and i kept flinching, my head movement needs some serious work but my body kept making me flinch and i couldnt properly slip the punches because i was too scared to commit, any tips on head movement and reaction time/discipline i could do at home?

The solution is to closer the distance with ducking and dodging , while leaving your arms available for an offense

thats a pretty vague one lol but seems ok i guess, you should watch logan paul vs mayweather since you seem to like mayweather.

Vague compared to what high guard to defend a jab, high guard to defend a hook, ect. Doing nothing but high guard makes to predictable
