bad defense, get legs more parallel in close distance

 

You look pretty good. I like your constant pressure style. I would say work on changing your level when going to the body and putting more of a snap behind your punches. For example when you throw a right cross or a right hook, your foot needs to twist in more of a snapping motion. Other than that you seem to be at the level where your trainer has to start critiquing you.

 

you did very little defense elements in 2min, few slips and few steps backwards (when your opponent would engage), other time your head is still and easy to hit. You have to do this defense elements whole time, just like you throw punches.

punching technic is solid, but if you get your legs parallel when you are inside, you will have power in both hands and cut off the ring easier. Also your defense would be more bobing,weaving and slipping his punches while countering with your own shots in same time.

 

Here are my suggestions:

-Try having a little more snap on your punches. You tend to just push your straight right out and some other shots as well. It makes them easier to see coming and lessens the power & accuracy.

-Excellent posture on the inside and great punch selection. That tapping jab is a good tool.

-I suggest not backing up in a straight line but side-stepping instead.

Overall good punching form an nice defensively sound posture. Maybe you can try using more feints, a stiffer jab, and more lateral movement to enhance your style. A bit more head movement wouldn't hurt either.

 

Pros:
Punching in combinations found openings.

Con:
Stop fighting noobish opponents, whether they say they have trained for a while or not, they look like a noob in the ring. Your not improving your defense any cause dude would barely punch and just shell up when you started attacking. That's not how a good boxer is gonna fight you.

 

Looking good, I just thought about 2 things to add:
1) Use your feints and head movement after you close the distance and after a combination to rest, set up your next attack and change the angles of your punches. It also will help you to counter in short distance.

2) After you got him against the ropes you can try to step aside when he covers up to take advantage of those blind points and not being a easy target to counters.

 

He didn't seem too fast to me, you kept on him the entire time without even having to cut off the ring to force him into corners. He just kinda backed up into corners himself. He pretty much used only his left hand the entire fight, throwing jabs but couldn't throw combinations worth a **** other than when he fluttered through his flurries. It was good that he felt overwhelmed by your punches but... it didn't seem like it took much cause after you had him against the ropes around the 20 second mark, threw a couple combinations that landed hooks and uppercuts. He basically became timid the rest of the fight.

If it was my gut feeling, the guy cowered after getting his head shook and made up an excuse.. but maybe that's just me being a ****. :tong

 

Please let me start by asking, how long have you been training and how many rounds have you sparred? Have you ever competed in an actual bout?

 

The reason I ask is because you did well if you are just starting out. Your opponent was willing to sit back and allow you to work, so he made you look better than you may actually be. Hoping to not sound to critical but you lacked head movement, your balance was often off. You punches were often too wide and your hands were often to low. You were doing a poor job cutting off the ring. A faster, and more experienced opponent would have made to pay for those mistakes. On a positive note. I saw plenty of good things to work with. More jabs, straighter and tighter punches. More movement and use of angles and you have the potential to be a good boxer. All that being said. 40 years of boxing experience have taught me that a boxer seldom fights in sparring as he does competition . He ought to but he seldom does. I wish you the best of success.
