My first Boxing Match

next time start with the leading straight right against the southpaw

 

Good job, kid!

You were in with the better athlete, it looks like, but you kept the pressure on and you fought him.

When you've improved your mechanics and your defense, you'll be able to beat guys like that. You put in a really good effort for your first night. You should be pleased.

 

watched the first round.. Looks like a good opponent.. too athletic like he said.. Congrats though.

 

You two were fighting in straight lines and boxing is a game of circles. Also, this guy you were fighting was one-handed, everything was with the left hand.
So you can fight him one of two ways. You can circle to your left, stepping around his lead foot, use you height and reach advantage to jab him over his shoulder and try to get him to turn into a right hand. This will take his left hand away from him.
Or you can move into his left hand, get him to throw it, which he seems willing enough to do. Draw the his left and tear him up with left hook counters; you seemed in spots to be doing something like this, but with your left jab. You really need to develope a good, short left hook to make this work. Though you can also get under his left and really work the right uppercut, but even then you'd need to follow it with a hook.

 

:good

Great post

 

my ****ing god who's idea was it to put you up against a southpaw for your first fight? i guess it really is common to not know who you're up against

 

That is a tiny ring, not enough room to fight the way I think you wanted to fight, Your a tall lanky guy so I take it you wanted to stay behind the jab?

 

You did very well mate.

You seemed to be throwing a lot of punches from way too far away - make sure you are at the right range before throwing. Don't commit unless you are pretty sure you can land.

 

I like the chisora punch u throw at 39 secs, mad power

 

well done on your first fight bud. just keep training and motivate yourself you will get there
