    I've started to find what style works for me most but I'm not familiar enough with current boxers to know of one that fits myself.
    Hoping someone can point me to a few names I can watch in order to improve my game from the shoddy footage I have.

    I'm the white guy, helping train a younger guy whose prepping for the silver gloves tournament next year. I think this was recorded last Monday.

    Not the best example for my fighting style since I don't go full bore with him but you can at least see my footwork/stance and punch mechanics. I have really good balance which allows me to throw power punches from awkward angles and being short with a short reach, I find myself having to do this more often because of how I need to step inside to fire down the pipe. I prefer to work the body first so it'll open up the head once their hands drop and feet stop moving.

    Bump.
    I know the video sucks and it doesn't show much but just looking for some suggestions.

    Gonna have the coach record me next time I'm sparring.
    Been boxing on and off since 2010 but have been consistently practicing for six months with my current trainer.

    Only suggestion I got so far is from the competing fighter I normally work with, which suggested Albert Davila.

    I'm 5'7", walk around at 145-150 but not sure what weight I'm gonna cut to when I start to compete.

    Your description reminds me of him.
