    Alright. You're most likely right about me not following through, I can feel that when I box. One of the reasons I strapped down the bag with weights so it doesn't move around. I have to reach really far and get off balance as you saw when throwing any other punch after the cross or in some cases the jab. The bar prevents me from moving forward.

    My elbows not being tucked was something that I saw as soon as I watched the video last night. I would have posted it otherwise but I figured there were to many things wrong so not even try.

    Other than that how was I doing with weight transfer and technique specifically in the lower half of the body and areas you have been mentioning like my left hook?

    Thanks for the feed back this is really helping me get better!

    i dont like your lunging forward when throwing right hand, its a k.o. waiting to happen.. you must throw punches like the stick is pulled from your ass to the head, so your head could always be in the center of gravity + many other reasons.

    if your bag is moving too much it means that you are pushing with your punches, start punching like you have whip in your hands.

    what i do like are your relatively fast hands, i dont know if you are lighter weight or is it arm punching, but its ok. you are doing well, take this advices like help. i will put mine soon so you can help me also ;)

    I weigh 126-128 lbs right now at 5'9.5". Thanks for the feedback, I think posting videos are a good way to get an outside perspective as well as be more constructively critical of ourselves.

    Try dropping your lead hand below the armpit. If you flare your punches inside the ring you'll be open for body shots.

    The sound in the second video is muted but from what I heard in the first video, no. Your punches are not popping.


    Need to practice more defense moves. That current setup of yours is doing more damage than good, rather have a space I can move around in and punch freely than hit a punching bag but have my footwork all thrown out of sync. Right now, your punches look light either cause of incorrect punch mechanic or balance issue(part of weight transfer) which will get ingrained if you keep training in an improper way.

    By far the worst thing you do, when you throw a straight right, your completely open to getting knocked out with your chin in the air like that.

    I was terrible in the video with no sound. I agree that the set up is doing more bad than good. The carpeting makes my feet slide around when I pivot, tires my legs out faster, and the bag is too low. I punch down every time and if is ****ing me up. Starting tomorrow I'm taking down the bag, selling it, and will start going to the local PAL. I didn't have a ride before but I'm going to walk even if it means risking getting robbed or shot.

    That just sounds bad on the joints and your body all around.
    Good decision to find a better place to train.

    Where the hell do you live that you gotta worry about that? I've not really had much issue going anywhere.

    And im assuming this is why he deleted his video or made it private ? Then told me to go find it ,because its not even on here , oh Dago you clown ,then had the nerve to talk all this b.s about me yet are asking random posters if you are good enough to even compete ? lol

    Dago wouldn't your great supposed coach know that answer? lol


    Seriously ,judging from what others say ,dont bother because your personality traits wont take criticism that good thats for sure with my critique im pretty good at visualization and sounds like a real train wreck from what others posted , Mr. "No one will record me at a real boxing gym " lol

    Yo part of learning is getting critiqued. If anyone ever wants me to look at their ****, I'd be more than happy to.

    This forum should be for helping, so don't be scared of posting some stuff up guys.

    "Also, no good coach has ever held a fighters camera in order to record a video just for that fighter to show people on boxingforum24. your coach is **** if he does." Dago :drink9:

    Dago you better go call Kevin Rooney and tell him all that video footage of recording mike was a waste of time that he studied, some of it on you tube. lol
    Any common sense person knows you learn from footage no matter how long it is.


    @SteeL shoulder , agreed and I hope at least Reznic shows you the same footage he showed me and you will see what im talking about,im pretty sure hes not going to do that and then play the I didn't know what I was talking about game.

    Yea I'm gonna chat with rez. Enough of this back n forth you seem like a pretty well versed dude galv. How do you like an orthodox fighter to throw their left hook? Who do you like that's boxing right now--specifically their left hook?
