Me doing Bag Work(2 videos)

Punches are nice crisp and straight.

Not sure if you have sparred and know your speed, distance, and range, but your hands seem really low if you are a come forward guy. Some guys are just doing cardio. Some guys are fast enough to evade and capitalize. Some guys? They just don't know to keep their hands up. I don't know which you are, but a guy with a strong jab and fighting off of the back foot would smash that grape.

Judging from your speed and movement you will b tracking guys down. I would up the punch count per round. You will need the volume as a guy will most likely engage you by backing away and picking you apart.

You look good on that bag though man.

 

Blood makes the grass grow...

 

I dont like this guy he is too cocky, I wouldnt be saying this if you werent cocky, but you prob fought bums. You got not head movement and not using you legs much, plus your leaning forward too much

 

Nevermind I only read your posts from your first page, now I read the third amd your not soo bad. I guess u were just on your man period haha jk. But most impkrtant tip, when people are giving you advice, listen to them and dont get defensive(i kno wat that feels like), that is how you become a better boxer. Keep training bruh!

 

Condition the spar I have some great spars with novices

 

How so, brown bomber? My coach is a pro, who just tools the beginners. But he works on a lot of technique.

So what do you do with beginners? Whats good about the sparring?

 

Baldheadslick hit on some very good points also, incorporate what he's saying into your game and into training also, the last thing you want your body to do is go into shock on the night because its not used to the pace that develops.

BB mentioned another good one i use every week, you can put a begginer in with anyone then and they both have somthing to gain from the sparr, if your not getting hit then you can sparr only countering certain leads, start just countering his right hands, he can throw any shot, a very hard one depending on the skill level of the novice. if you cant do that then simply counter any shots, while he can throw any. just dont jab the scorring area's and dont lead no matter how hard it gets. take a few shots to develop as a fighter, leave the ego outside the ring on this one.

Stopping someone coming forward with shots is easy this drill will put a lot more pressure on, its easy to start fireing shots, stay focused, chin pulled back and keep moving your feet, changing level, moving your head, changing angles, changing range, kidding the lot.

When you can do this with a novice and still not take many shots and pretty much counter at will whichever weak shot you wish to expose without having to lead on him, then you are quite in control of your body and the sparr at that point, now your learning to read the phyco-dynamics of the other fighter, to feel when you have them under control and what makes them tick, then you can tell them what to do. its a huge part of fighting, getting that instinct down.

This is what you need to do if the sparring isnt quite competetive, that and trying lots of new things, get the timing down when your confident, then try them on better fighters, trying new things is key to being a good fighter, variation keeps you safe in there.

 

Like Wayne says there, also jab only spars etc

 

Good work although if you leave your Chin exposed like that then it's good night Vienna. And as my great grandfather used to say "once they crack they don't come back".:deal

Still, maybe you could get a cameo role in a future Glass Jaws blockbuster.:happy

 

you are not bending your knees -> less power and bad center of gravity

your hands are below your cheen -> after few shots you throw i would try to parry your right hand and counter with left hook in your face

when throwing hooks to the body you dont bend down -> your head is exposed to counter shot, this is very bad

try to double up jabs, and f.e. when you throw right hook use your momentum for throwing left, you will be faster and punch will be harder (you always get back to the guard and then you pull your hand back and hit, that is telegraphing and less power)

i am novice too, but when i record my sparrings this is how i comment my self. I know how it needs to look like, but i also do same mistakes. Record yourself and try to see whats wrong (something is always wrong )
Sparring with novices is great, dont try to prove them you are better, work on your bad habits (hands up, use your legs and hips), try some new tehnics and other things.. cheers!

 

your straight right looks nice and sharp. you're a similar build to me so from what i can see on hear and the advice i would give is keep a tight high guard even when moving your head (witch should be constant) and bend your knees more. i imagine from the videos you like to pressure fight because you throw your shots and dont step out of range. thats not a bad thing if your a high work rate fighter but dont get in the habit of throwing two punches and then just standing their. keep throwing even if there just light punches to keep your mans mind busy while you line him up for short power punches. try and keep moving around the bag as well if you can. looks like it's not an ideal bag stand to be honest. for 2 fight though you look decent. post another video of your progression soon.

 

for a 2 fight novice,its not to bad.

few points, you look to square on,you need to move you left shoulder back along with your left leg/foot,and when you throw it follow it in with you shoulder and hips,thats why your power is not there.one of the 1st things things you should be taught is how to stand and throw straight 1x2's.
also your hooking is quite bad,after you have thrown a shot you should be in position to hook,be it body or head.
body work is a must as well,bending your knees or slipping left or right to hook the body is needing a lot of work by you mate,but ****,you have had 2 fights,your in Afghanistan,so just stick to it mate
