In regards to catching. Make sure you're instincts are there regarding checking and differentiating what level the kicks are coming at or don't fucking try. If you're going to catch, MOVE with the kick. Don't stand there like a fucking mug and take the shot on the ribs because if that boy can kick, you won't be doing that often and if your defense hinges on catching mid kicks you'll...have a problem.
If he's a lot taller, my personal preference (people are always 3-6 inches taller then me due to my weight- its glandualr you fuckers

) isn't to catch but to either check and close the distance or block say a left mid kick (from your pov), drop the right hand over and catch it then step through and kick the shit out of his left leg he's standing on and then stay in close.
Holding it and fucking about is a bad move if his reach is greater
