My fight I had today

If he had proper footwork PLUS his punching power (which we can't say for sure he carries to begin with based on footage) , wouldn't you say he'd be better off? Besides, the peak a boo style involves great foot placement as well. Different from the classic boxer, but still very disciplined.
I'd stick with the advice of improving your stance. Pick and stick to a style where you're more body controlled.
Think discipline first. You were too open and wild. One would think you guys weren't boxers.

 

You're all telling him to be like sugar ray Leonard when he obviously doesn't have the physique to box that way, he should box to his strengths not his weakness

 

Having good footwork doesn't mean that you must dance around the ring :?

 

Whose telling him to box like sugar ray Leonard? Good footwork is the foundation of everything else. Miguel Cotto has good footwork.. In fact I struggle to think of any fighter brawler or otherwise who pays no attention to improving what they do.

He should box to his strengths and minimise his weaknesses.

 

BB, what kinds of drills or exercises do you do for good footwork?

 

this helped me a good bit

good video especially the one where you step in with punches :good

 

I've had them. There awful. So heavy. Like boxing on sand. Get rid asap bro

 

I'd say that they maybe uncomfortable so change them, but your problem isn't slow foot movement- its improper technique

scroll down and these have some great footwork drills

 

Just because he reccommended the peekaboo style doesnt mean he want him to go for the KO in every fight, I agree with tmsbry that he could be more effective under that style short fast jabs to get inside still. Also I agree his footwork needs working on
