My latest fight.

Only watched first video. Quite wild with your left hand, would definitely be much better if you threw it a lot straighter, and in turn would leave you less off balance and open. Also, as a southpaw, work on keeping your lead foot on the outside of orthodox boxers...gives you great advantages in terms of reach with your jab and straight left.

 

nice lil war you had there

 

:good

Comes with experience, man. Keep working on it in the gym, try it out in sparring, and when you get a chance...implement it in the ring.

 

Thing I'd say needs improving is variation. I think I saw the same left hand every time you threw anything. And you became predictable coming in with the jab followed by the left. Good fight though man, you were certainly the better fighter in there imo and landed the cleaner shots. Who got the decision and what's your record?

 

First, hats off to you for getting IN the ring to begin with! lol It takes a pair of bollocks just to step in there let alone go to competition!

Looks like you are trained in a sort of peekaboo style taught to Tyson by D' Amato. Some observations....

To duck a punch you needn't always go so low. When you go that low your eyes are off you opponent and he counters you. You only have to duck half the distance to get under the punch and then you will be able to counter more effectively. Slipping side to side will put you in greater position to counter even than the duck with a lot less energy expended but you have to practice consistently to get relaxed enough with the move to be able to calmly do it in a fight. Practice slipping punches!

Watch your footwork. With you style if your feet are too far apart you don't generate the kind of power necessary to hurt your opponent. Also, with your style you are most effective moving forward not backwards. Move forward and cut off the ring. Don't allow your opponent to hit and run. Press him.

You have to practice shortening up your punches and not telegraphing them. You got wild in many instances which allowed the opponent to not only see what was coming at him but also evade and counter your punches effectively. Practice short, concise punches delivered in the proper arc using the proper mechanics and stick to this during the fight. This is mainly mental so practice this in sparring.

Throw your punches in combination. You were throwing wild shots hoping to land one clean and possibly daze your opponent. You must realized boxing is a mental match as well. Don't leave yourself open like this. Use your jab, your head movement and work to the inside. Don't be afraid to work the body. It is easier to reach than the head. Once you are in, use combination punching. Your opponent is probably used to blocking one or two punches but three or more in a row and something is going to land.

You have good stamina going three rounds using as much energy as you did. You can calm it down a bit and instead of having energy flying off in all directions you can deliver it on your opponent. Work on the things I have mentioned. Work on them in sparring but first work on them with a trainer at half speed. Get used to seeing punches coming at you. Relax as you slip and counter immediately. Practice on your punching as well. Then as you begin to relax and build some speed on them try it in sparring at three quarters speed. Train seriously every time out and you will be adding a lot of victories to your record.

Good training mate and congratulations on your match!

 

Loved it. Great conditioning.

You really need to develop other weapons besides that overhand left though. Even throwing it s a left hook sometimes would help immensely. You telegraph it big time--but that can work to your advantage if you develop some variety. Imagine fighting you. Every time you see you coming in, you know it's gonna be an overhand laft. You can sidestep it, slip it, or just punch inside of it. But if you don't know what's coming things are gonna be tricky.

Work on that left hand. Develop a straight left (1-2-1-2 coming forward. Tough to defend coming from a southpaw). Develop a left uppercut (they're used to the overhand and slipping or ducking it? They'll run right into this then). DEVELOP A LEFT HOOK TO THE BODY. And a straight left to the body. And a left uppercut to the body. Use them all, use them early and often.

What this'll do is handcuff his right hand. He has to keep it glued to his side because he doesn't know if you're going for the body or head. He isn't sure which way to move his head because he might slip into an uppercut or face-first into a straight left.

Combinations. As a southpaw, you are naturally awkward. People don't know what to do when you rush in, so they naturally rush away. Follow them throwing punches. You commit everything to that second punch and you land it maybe 1% of the time. Every other time you end up in a clinch because the other guy just smothers it. Throw that second punch snappy and snap it back. Bring the right hook (they can't see it) or a right uppercut and THEN finish with a big left. Try to throw at least 3 punches every time you engage.

And do not let people clinch you. That's your opportunity to do work inside and impose your conditioning on them. Work an arm out of the clinch and uppercut their face off. Bump them off with your shoulder and score with a 3-2 or 2-3. Dig in some body shots. DO WORK.

Very good job getting back out after you punch. Watch some Edwin Valero and Many Pacquiao to get even better. Learn to close distance, punch, jump back, and then either jump back in or counter them if they follow you. You have the attributes to use that sort of style---quick on your feet, good handspeed and power. Not only is this great for scoring in amateur bouts, it's also great for knocking mother****ers out (ie you get to have fun AND win.)

 

Great job, even better conditioning. I think if you throw the left straighter and with more balance, that right hook will follow naturally. Awesome, thanks for posting.:good
