I was sparring with this one guy today and got my a** whooped and got a nice uppercut to the jaw. Im new to boxing and he has 6 months more experience than me.
Im roughly 4-5in. taller than him + I have greater arm reach, but he has more endurance and speed than me. Any advice for my next sparring session?

Just keep training. You want to shadow box a lot also work out your jaw by pushing up while you try to push down not to hard though. Also jump rope a striker isn't anything without a good cardio. All in all just keep training its not like one thing will make you better.

this is where distance comes into the factor. in boxing many people think its all about getting in close and throwing a bunch of blows to the guy this applies well to those who have a large reach advantage. many fighters who you go against will attempt to get in on you to render your reach useless and thats where you need to keep moving in and out of him.
Cardio is a large part of any kind of spar match and is important to keep up on but also there is the part that you dont want to ware yourself out to fast. i hope this was some bit of help to you

If you have the longer reach ... you want to establish your jab ... throw your jab with authority ... let your opponent know that if they attempt to get inside it will hurt ...
That's another thing make sure he does not get inside ... don't let yourself get trapped against the ropes or the corner ... if you feel your back is touching those things ... angle off them ... just make sure that you do not angle towards the power hand ...
Beyond these things ... hands up and chin down ...
