Got destroyed in sparring, need advice (video)

Hi Mate,
you got good shot selection
quick hands
naturaly good trunk movement

got that tendency to shy away when the pressure is put on but that's very much an experience thing combined with getting tired.
flat footed try bieng more on the balls of your feet especially on that back foot. Alot of wasted energy when moving in out try not to leap out of the way of shots. efficient movement is key. watch your sparring partner. you move quick and with good fluidity so if you tidy it up and get more control you will be a nightmare to pindown and get away from.
dont drop your left hand after the jab.
your hands are too high, me personaly gloves under you eyes.
work of the back foot you lean over when throwing your shots, over commitment to shots always leave you in a bad position.
footwork and stamina are your points to focus on i think. your shot selection is good you just need to work on getting yourself into the position to make the best of the punches bieng thrown.
And dont be too hard on yourself trust me i had way worse sparring sessions than that and still managed to win national titles. for someone with no fights and little ring experiance you look quality in the making.
sorry about the grammar and spelling late over here hope this helps mate keep at it, these are the tests of all fighters

 

Kudos to you, you do genuinely look decent. And kudos to your sparring partner too - he's a good'un for helping you learn, not going full whack and being patient.

Echo exactly sentiments as initial comment, Joe Brown.

• Cardio/fatigue needs work just to give you more energy to run in the later rounds.
• Your body shots were pretty tasty, especially your lead hand body jab, your OP felt those.
• Your head movement (particularly your roll) is good. Though personally, I think slips and parrying is much more effective in reducing energy expenditure.
• Good parrying to start with too - should've kept it up going into the later rounds, where poss.
• Your backfoot is too flat, you need your back heel off the ground (and a little bit of your front heel off too) being on your the balls of your feet.
• Your guard isn't tight enough IMO, which, IMO, is a symptom of you standing too square on (it's also why your opponent was able to keep landing straight shots to the centre body - which looked like it hurt). Your lead shoulder has to be more forward/leading more. Your lead shoulder should be protecting your chin not necessarily your lead hand (though lead hand still functions to protect head, face, etc.). Chins tucks into your lead shoulder, essentially looking up from your brow.
• You can block body shots without moving your guard - by bending/twisting your upper body at the waist so that your elbows and forearms take the brunt of it.
• You need to work on your jab and it's position and find a good spot for it. You opp was able to win his jabs by just having it closer to you/further out from him. Also, if your gonna throw a jab, mean it, make it spiteful - by that I mean put some hip rotation in it + step in with it and aim up (at his head) and bend your lead knee a bit. And just throw the jab more. It's a tool to get you in AND out.
• I noticed you tend to focus your power on the backhand and you tend to lead with a backhand too (using a soft pawing leadhand) - quality work on the backhand and it looks like it carries good power. Just use your jab more to setup better.
• I feel you're giving away too much ground - it's nervous energy, been there done that. I personally think that too much energy is wasted on an [exaggerated] in-out game (style). Hold you ground, slip, parry and lean back, create distance in pigeon steps not in feet. This why your jab has to be popping in defensive manoeuvres, clock the guy coming in with a meaningful 1,2 while you lean back or pigeon step back/to side.
• Combination punching. You showed good signs in doing it. Just you wanna make punches a part of your defensive moves too - roll, come back with lead uppercut and backhook. Or parry, then backhand, left hook.
• Try to relax and shake out your arms, back and legs every now n again just to reset your stance, get in the relax, zen zone.
• Hate pawing jabs, very annoying when someone keeps sticking it in your face blocking your view. Smash their pawing hand as hard as possible aiming at their wrist (with the bottom of your clenched fist). Keep doing it until they learn their lesson.
• Noticed your opp doesn't look like he's super comfortable fighting on the inside. Learn to get inside good n proper, then learn to hold/grapple effectively (lean on, sweat on, bleed on) and from there learn to fight on the inside.

Good luck.
