Good fight. You seem to have a good boxing style. You are still raw. Next time i see you fighting, i want to see you throwing that jab more. You can throw it to land, for defence or just so your opponet will open up and leave himself open so you can land your shot.

You are a bit stiff all around, I would practice more shadow boxing in front of a mirror so you put more of your shoulder, waist and legs into your punchs. But, you have a relaxed style, which is good, cause when you see the opening then you open up, plus the relaxed style seems to help you not waist as much energy. Just remember to always be thinking in there but use the jab when you are following/walking down your opponet. You have a good style, keep working hard in the gym and you will be even better. You seem to be improving everytime. Good job.

I forgot to add....seems like you are using the peek a boo style. Its cool. But imo, if you see a shot pratice learn to move your head not just take the shot. Learn to do both block with the peek a boo style, bob and weaving and rolling with a punch which may take even more practice. In shadow boxing, practing fighting in the inside, on the outside, moving a lot, boxing, practing being able to fight while walking, and while fighting to your left and right. Double up that jab. Tripple, quadriple and so on. You have a good left hook. Pract the left hook to the body, especially practice throwing it in twos or threes. Left to the body, and the the head vice, versa and finish off with the jab. Remember if you see the punch coming, bob and wave or duck then punch, learn to vary your attack and defence so you keep your opponet guessing what you are going to do.

Thanks for the compliments and my style. I do tend to get lazy at times as s shadowbox, but today I went at it for serious. My trainer said the same thing about me, which is that I look relaxed but that I fight stiff. It makes sense. I am not moving enough but my style is a 'coolness under pressure' type of style. I'll get more jabs my next fight.

Pensacola Boxing Academy costs money but it is on Gulf Beach Hwy close to a restaurant called 'Mitsuko's' I believe is the name. Another one that I think is free but not as good as my gym is on Fireman Ln, off of W street in the OLD firehouse there...Fireman Ln is a dirtroad. Go down W st (away from the Rave) turn left on Fireman.

The fight was at Malcolm Yonge Center. 925 East Jackson St.

In amatuer do people not try to go for body shots that much?

Just seemed to me like niether of you attempted to go to the body.

Also in the Seventh round, you gave a left, left, followed by a right cross, and you dropped your right. Try not to drop your fist after the punch...I know that can be difficult...especially because you want to follow thru on punches to get your power on the end.

But when you leave your fist out, or drop it at the end of the punch, you're inviting a short counter hook right to the chin.

That's just my opinion. When I shadow box I try to jab, jab, cross. It's one of my favorite little combos. But I try to make an effort everytime to bring my first back and tuck my elbow. I keep conscious of it.

I believe I've seen people describe that as admiring your work.

I threw several body shots, but not a whole lot; you're right. I could go for more I suppose. Thanks.

I guess I don't understand amatuer boxing. Or something.

How do they count scoring? Is it more important to land on the head gear than the body?

I was supposing in my mind (especially a fight going several rounds...) that you would want to go to the body because it's not as protected in amatuers (i.e. no protective gear).

But you would know more about it than me. After all, you're the one in the ring.

This guy's head was particularly open. So I stayed in there and countered him inside. But head shots are easier to notice for judges and in the ams the judges are not always all that. You win a fight by landing the most punches, and body shots are not quite as easy to see. But I still love going to the body and plan to go there more when I can.

Another round, the 1st round, from the same fight. I'm in black and red by the way.

You hit him with a nice right hand flush when you were exchanging.

You had a nice crisp left hook you opened up with a lead right.

Looks good.

You should see if you can add some punches while you're backing up.

Keeping your gloves up and being less evasive will require more jabbing.

But I still love going to the body and plan to go there more when I can.Thanks for the posting and being open for critique. One thing to remember about body punching is it will lower your opponent's guard which ultimately will make him more succeptible to the clean head shots your looking for. If you focus mainly on the head, your opponent will adapt by keeping his guard up high throughout the fight which will make it harder for you to get those clean scoring head shots through. Mix your attack and keep your opponent guessing.

I would also say work some on cutting off your opponent's escape route. A couple of times you could have trapped him on the ropes or corner and you were following him as opposed to cutting off the ring so he was able to slide out.

These are just some constructive criticisms. Overall I liked your stance, balance, punching technique and you were able to block the majority of head shots.

You are doing well for only 7 fights. Good job and good luck.

I love watching u bastards fight!

Im no expert, nor a wanabe-coach but heres my opinion for wat its worth.

First i think u could do with a little head movement.
And i thought wen u threw ur punches ur chin went up and ur hands dropped way too low at times. Like for example wen u threw ur left hook ur right glove dropped down.

I liked ur double left hook u threw, and u look like a paitent stalker type. But like i said, a little head movement wen coming forward would be good.

Good video. Good luck in the future.

practice being a little lighter on your feet, so you can duck and move from punches thrown at you. also, you are mainly only throwing the jab and right and some hooks as i saw, when you get in close, try and vary it a bit.

Well I just quickly watched it... I'm on the way to class. From what I saw it seemed pretty even, maybe you losing a little bit, but I didn't see much. Even if you lost, you've got some skills man. You seem to keep your technique well enough in a fight situation for someone who's relativly new. Impressive man, how old are you? If I can fight amateur fights that well on my 7th fight, I'll be satisfied. I'll watch the rest later

Peace

Both fighters look fairly well-schooled. The guy in white needs to move to his right once in a while. The guy in red needs to tuck his chin a little more and use a bit more body movement......

Just looked at the second clip. You need to bend your knees a bit in order to add some explosiveness to your punches. The power is generated from the legs. You were obviously the stronger fighter, but this may not win you the fight in the amateurs, where they are simply looking at the scoring with the white part of the gloves, as opposed to effective punching. I'm sure you know this. Either you need to be a whole lot more active, or put the guys down....
