backyard sparring? (video)

lad in the black holds his right hand nice and high, until he throws it or the other guy throws at him. must remember to keep the right hand high, because left hooks are ****s

 

your bro has a nice base, but when he actually begins to throw he loses shape, due to leaving his feet behind imo. get down to a gym before, self taught is good for garage sparring but bad faults will be ingrained and they are hard to undo!

 

not bad, need to work on footwork a bit and get in their and fire up

 

I agree with the consensus in this thread.

Your brother has a good base, he has a good jab and left hand.

However

He drops his left whenever he throws a right

The few times he led with a right, it seemed pitifully weak, as if he hadn't properly learned the technique, or was unsure of throwing it, odd especially considering the opponent was parrying with the wrong hand - combine the weak right with the lowered left, and against a better sparring partner he would be in trouble

While his movement was good in terms of using space, his actual foot placement was quite poor, he wasn't set up well to take punches, and had his opponent walked him down or thrown any decent punches, it looks like he would have been caught of balance, he looked to square at times when retreating

Apart from that he did well.

 

Black headgear seems more experienced to me. Needs to commit to his punches and not paw. Black had some good counter L hooks...

 

Black:

Better combos, better movement, I loved the lead left hook. However, he needs to follow through with his punches, improve foot placement, gain stamina.

 

You're flatfooted and have no head movement.

 

After the first few seconds I too noticed that your brother drops his hands after throwing a punch and doesn´t retract quick enough. he needs better foot work. However, his counter-punching is on key with good control. they´re both flat-footed and your brother sometimes comes off the ground with his right foot when throwing the straight right. sometimes he´s off balance when defending as well. get into a ring to learn footwork and cutting off the ring. Overall, not bad

 

Both need to work on the basics. I saw a few feet cross, one of you bends forward (a dream for an uppercut), some lazy punching (not retracting in the same way you threw it), etc. Basics, get to that gym asap. It's not bad for self taught boxing but you need to start at the beginning and learn the proper basics.
