Help analysing my next opponent?

Everything he does seems wide, a little bit of a swinger so keep your punches sharp and straight.

Also the tall young man in that video went backwards in straight lines so the attacks kept coming, so when he opens up, keep you hands up, pivot off, try and create angles and punish him with those crisp straight shots.

His elbows look wide, a lot of body target, when he is up close (almost head to head) he goes square so sink a few in to his stomach when you get the chance, don't just head hunt.

I'm sure the very educated on here will give you very good advice, whatever you do don't over think it, if you decide to then take a couple of bits of advice then keep it as simple as possible, don't complicate it or confuse yourself with taking too much advice on board.

And most importantly, good luck, hope it goes well and you get a W and win, lose or draw let us know how you got on.

 

I'd suggest using a lot of feints and counter his wide hooks with jabs and 1-2s.

Also depending on how confident you are at landing uppercuts in practice they were there to land all night. at 4.08 the blue guy lands one i think and buzzes green boy.

I fought at amateur so i know how everything you have planned can go out the window once the bell goes.

 

any videos of yourself?

 

yeah its good you've got a height and reach advantage.

i'd box smart and keep busy with jabs and 1-2s keep moving, should you get him cornered i'd definitely throw in a big right uppercut

 

Straight shots mate. Give him something to constantly think about with a varying jab both in power and variation. He's a bit of an unpredictable brawler type but strong. Don't muddle yer head with combos just play it by ear and expect the unexpected. Switch on and take the openings as n when they come. If he walks onto one fair enough. Youl know what he's got after a while and then you can start to pick some nice varied shots once he's slowed down a bit and becomes cautious of stepping into your range. How's your fitness?

 

Looks like he's in good shape and knows how to fight taller guys. It's really important to control distance and commit to the jab( double it up to the head AND body) against guys like this. Once the jab is established, you can start using feints to set up straight rights and uppercuts. All of this is MUCH easier said, than done, but you have to try. Last thing...when he does get inside your reach, don't freeze up...take what he gives you, target the body and throw when he throws. Hope this helps.

 

You should be proud of yourself. I thought you did a nice job, overall. You did a great job of committing to the jab, moving and landing some nice uppercuts in the 3rd round. The key is that you know what you need to work on, so just use this as a learning experience and keep grinding.

 

Hard luck mate. Keep learning and keep that fitness up. So so important to be the fittest you can. I know this isn't very technical advice but if uve confidence in your engine you can throw fast onetwos and loads of them

 

Whoever taught your first opponent to box needs to be put in jail.

 

Jab as much as possible against the shorter opponent, he was only getting inside you by bull rushing. When a pressure opponent comes in like that you turn around his outside foot while throwing a check hook. You have a good jab, don't let it get lazy. Don't forget to keep your chin tucked and hands in a defense+offensive position. Don't let your opponent control the distance...in your next fight envision the target in front of your opponents head, and keep jabbing at it, or at least hard feinting at it (Andre Ward did this a lot against Paul Smith). It will force him to move his head into the slip spot, and bam drop the hammer with the right. Given your length this should be easy to work on.
