Novice 71kg UK Amateur, 2-2 Record, 4th Fight Video (Loss)

Hey, been a member on this forum for a while, never got round to posting though just enjoy reading articles/people's opinions etc.
In the blue corner, I fight at 71kg and have not long turned 21, used to play football at semi-pro,needed a new challenge, tried boxing.
Thought i'd do a post as i had my 4th amateur fight last weekend, I lost via stoppage in the 3rd but thought i'd share the tape just to get other people's opinion on a forum where we all love boxing!
I trained for about 7 months before my first fight and have now been training for a total of about a year and a half, i lost my first, won my second and third and lost my fourth.
I'm a novice but a big student of the game and a lot of what's going on for me is mental and boxing is a thinkers sport, i've studied this footage back so many times already and picked out most of the things i need to correct & improve on to progress, would appreciate feedback from people just to get your opinion, positive & negative, here are some things i picked out;
- Seem to be very nonchalant at times w/ footwork when comes to getting out of the way, even though i'm a skilled boxer and have good footwork, sometimes this doesn't transfer over from gym to fighting, i think it's more of a mental thing, as in my gym it's hard to get sparring my weight so i suffer from ring experience.
- In conjunction with slow footwork at times i often leave my chin exposed and up, which normally isn't the case but i think some nerves/anxiety doesn't help as i am still quite green.
- Over eager in attack sometimes leaving myself open to counters etc.
- In the same way sometimes not aggresive/eager enough to go forward & press.
- Wait too long sometimes could be popping double jab etc. in middle of ring.
- Needed more double jab-right hands.
- In general seem quite laid back/nervous & couldn't let punches flow like in the gym.

Thanks guys, let me know what you think, appreciated.

Thanks for the comments, yeah that was one thing I noticed along with the anxiety, i rushed my attack at times, my coaches had been on at me to be more aggressive and trying to do as they said that was the result, normally I don't wait around but prefer to counter punch, was awkward trying to be the aggressor, because i'm a novice still i think they mistake my counter-punching/waiting as being more passive when it's not, just more comfortable.

 

Yes he was about 28/29 and i'm 21, not sure how many fights he's had/years he's been registered, my coach didn't tell me for a change
Yes he did land the cleaner punches especially in round 3 but I still landed my fair share of clean punches, lead rights, odd jab, hook right etc.

Fans were for him in red corner,ould you not tell haha? The noise when he got the stoppage & decision.

 

Thanks for your comment, yeah I hear you,didn't really buzz me just caught me clean after i blocked his first two shots coming in and think just nerves etc. was a new situation to me, especially in an actual fight, normally in the gym i would be out of there/head movement or hold but, seemed to freeze and couldn't do what I wanted, experience i suppose.

 

Thanks Rich, appreciated mate

 

Yep definitely a learning experience, thanks mate. Yeah i think perhaps being an athlete before may hinder my aggression at times coming from a sport that wasn't combat based, but i most certainly can punch & be aggressive, just need to bring everything together on fight night.
Appreciated mate.

 

Thanks bro, yeah being comfortable is a tough one, been in with a lot of experienced fighters etc. sparring but still can't fully relax under the lights, but experience/time will tell i suppose, positives i took from this fight being my first one on DVD and gave me confidence in my speed etc.
Yeah i felt i reached alot in this fight, most people at my gym are flat footed, i'm a mover and guess found it difficult with someone who was stepping out of range etc. as i jabbed rather than trying to take everything on the gloves.
Will do bro appreciated, you too keep it up!
