you fought brilliant for your 2nd fight i think your better when you have a bit of time and use more straights but overall a good fight you got a bitty wild when you got hit with a big shot but well done. Good perfomance

Hiya Steph

Right mate iv had a look his hooks are very effective, however if he can put some work into leading with a couple of straight shots the telegraphing of his hooks wont be so evident.

Left jab, left hook straight right. Try developing short upper cuts... when his opponent is knackerd and leans on. a short left or right upper cut so as he comes to lean on straight right, right upper cut left hook.

A lot of the shots he took in the 2nd an 3rd were given away too easy because a little bit flat footed. if he can maintain good balance for all 3 rounds he will avoid a lot of shots.

For his 2nd fight that was awesome. tell him well done because he had a good solid opponent.

Very good for you 2nd fight.
Keep up the good work.
You might want to focus on throwing fast short combinations.
Setting then up with your jab.
Moving in and out from different angles.
