Experienced boxers Help please

You can't really gauge if a fighter is ready off of bagwork alone. I'm not an "Experience Boxer" as in I haven't had any fights but I trained for a while with amateurs and pros alike and know how to tell if you are ready to even fight in local amateur fights.

From what you have provided I would say no, you aren't ready. Your stamina doesn't look too good and when you throw punches, you leave your arm extended as if you are admiring your work.

You're young like me. Get into a gym and start training and sparring. Get good and then start getting amateur fights. Its a lot of work and very little reward unless you are at the top.

Btw what do you mean by "been paid to fight in storage closets for almost 2 years now"? Do you just meet up with random buddies and fight in a 4x4x10 storage closet where the janitor keeps his mops?

 

You have some good raw punching ability.
There are big things to correct like your pace, form, rhythm, and technique.
You need to find a real boxing gym and start going.
You need to be in that environment.

 

Of course you have potential man. Just get into a gym and study fighters online to get a leg up. You look like you have the strength part down, try focusing more on speed. Speed (of both foot and hand) is more important than strength in boxing.

So you got paid? What kind of fights were these? Sounds interesting.

 

You sound like a real Jack Dempsey!

Don't give up. It's easy to develop habits if you don't learn in a gym. Get in there and they'll straighten you out man. Check out my thread on your first sparring, you might be able to pick up some advice that you don't already know.

 

Oh trust me I have matter of fact its usually on my nightstand next to my bed!

 

Dempsey's book called "Championship Fighting: Explosive Punching and Aggressive Defense" is a very good read. If you look a couple pages back, I linked it in a thread called "Here's a gem for beginners" or something like that.

 

You need a coach. Organized fighting isn't something to play with and you have a ton of openings that an experienced fighter or coach will be able to see and say 'Hey, get him to throw that combination and counter with A-B next round' then you get setup with a trap and your lights knocked out.
You can get killed doing this.

You seem interested enough to take it serious so best bet is to get professional help.
