I having been thinking much about your problem, Boxers are very hard to deal with at their own range the reason for this is that they only have four basic offensive moves which they train to the extreme, they also fight in the same way as they train always a big plus in my book. The best way to fight them is to fight them outside their preferred range either by kicking or by getting into grapping range. (forgive me if I sound patronizing. I am a simple person with a simple way of thinking.) I have been studying some Long fist clips on youtube and your style is so alien to me as I have mostly trained in Southern styles, that it is difficult for me to give you useful advice but to you I think angle of attack is the key. Boxers as you will have seen fight very square on if you attack them at an angle greater than fortyfive degrees to their centerline you will have the advantage.
