VIDEO: My 4th Pro Fight (4-0) HIGHLIGHTS

Now these are the most sacrilegious words I've heard on this day!!

 

Cool you fight like Mayweather

 

Honestly, I think that you are talented enough to do something meaningful in this sport. Hence, I dont think that I know better than your trainer. My only advice would be, do whatever your trainer tells you, it seems to be working really well up to now.

There's only a question, and the question is "can you do it that good vs better oposition and during more rounds?". If the answer is "yes" we will hear from you a lot, no doubt.

Good luck dude!

EDIT: Btw, thank you very much for sharing the video.

 

Good watch. Defo got skills that can be developed. Can I ask what your training regimes like in detail? Weight/reach. How much your rehydrating on fight night. How many times a week your training? etc.

Any specific things your doing outside of the norm?

 

Your style of fighting...you need to get them reflexes razor sharp. What specific training you doing for reflexes ATM? Also when hes circuling away from you. Would have been better cutting that ring off more with him. Get your foot outside of his. If hes circuling to his left. Try getting your right foot outside of his left foot.

He,d have struggled with that.

The only problem I see...is with that style of fighting you need to basically be excellent at everything. Need to be able to box...and fight inside. Need very good footwork. Need to control the distance. Need a very good jab. Need to be able to do it all really. Its probably the hardest style to master. I,d keep the style tho...you,ve got the tools for it. Everything does need to be developed tho. That style will get drowned by strong weight drainers if you don't perfect it. You need something to keep these guys off you with. Good footwork on the backfoot. Walk them on too hard singles or one two,s. Set traps. Good reach for the weight helps.

Great stuff btw.

 

Thanks for sharing.

I really like the way you worked the uppercut into your attack. I wonder if there were points when feinting a shot with the rear hand and then taking a half step back would have allowed you to catch him with the uppercut or hook on the way in when he moved in to hold, since he seemed inclined to do that after a while.

I didn't see the hook coming behind that uppercut, or jab that often; though to be fair, Saunders had his right posted by the side of his head a lot of the time, so maybe that shot wasn't there for you upstairs. Good job of landing it downstairs, though.

On the whole, I really enjoyed that. Thanks again, and good luck going forward.

 

GJ, man. Nice body work.

 

I honestly love the shoulder roll and the jabs to the body. Very Mayweather like. Love it.

 

You should know as well as anyone that not everybody can successfully ape guys like Mayweather & Toney. That's why they're in a class by themselves.

 

i really like your hook to the body and the uppercut, aside from whats already been mentioned, i dont like how wide you throw your punches from the outside, i dont think youre fast enough to get away with that against better opposition, i would work on straightening up those punches before you get dropped by a well timed short hook.

 

Best of luck and thanks for sharing
Keep that chin tucked and bang the body
Nice work

 

There's a lot of sound advice being spread! Adaptation is going to be very important when your opponents level of quality increase. I know a lot of people are saying your lead is being kept very low and your chin is left open quite a lot and they're absolutely right, but let's respect that against this opponent there wasn't that much danger of getting caught. It was acceptable to take these kinds of risks in this scenario. Keeping the left hand low does leave the chin more exposed, but it does makes it harder for an opponent to pick up your jab. Provided you're judging of distance and rage and your reflexes are pretty good, you can duck the straight right hand very easily by shifting your weight backwards simply bending your knees in a motion that doesn't exert a lot of energy and using your right you can catch his jabs as they come in, really limiting your opponents effectiveness when he uses straight punches and dominate with your jab by doubling it up for every one your opponent throws. This was a key element to Joe Louis' game, do a bit of research on the Blackburn crouch if you're planning on keeping your left that low and gather some knowledge of how you can work with it and compensate for it.

 

Exactly right with the you can beat them in your sleep comment...it encourages you to do things you normally wouldn't do because theres little coming back to worry about. Most people say it brings on bad habits...but at the stage your at in terms of fighting guys you can beat comfortably its not that important if you are making small mistakes in order to be more effective in what your trying to do....beat them up as much as you can in four rounds.

If you get the chance detail your training regime. Really interested to see what its like...what your working on. A lot of guys have a certain style...and don't compliment it all that much with the training. There's a lot to smile about. Your not limited in your skill...just need to develop it a lot for a high level.

Good watch. Well done.
