is it just me or is almost every one of your punches an upper cut? also you keep leaning in with the few jabs you throw... before you shadow box building up bad habits, learn it at a real gym.

you need to stay on your back foot more and when you jab... don't lean, keep your right hand up against your chin. If i was fighting you right now, and you jabbed at me... I'd crack you with a left so easily.

you need to learn punching fundamentals before you do this. otherwise you are reinforcing incorrect techniques. join a gym.

Bloody hell ....sore neck.

When you throw your left you can see your right elbow come backwards, actually your whole right arm. Dont do this! We shouldnt be able to see any of your right arm or elbow come back when you throw your left. Your right elbow should be protecting your body when your throw your left and your right fist in guard position by your chin.

Stance looks ok, long straight punches good, those long uppercut right thingys your throw ..well... just dont ok?

Go to a gym and get your technique sorted. Good to see the full extension on your straight punches, this will give you distance. Better than half extended arm punches that you usually see posted (some one with a good jab could knock these guys out) .

bottom line - boxing gym

It would be a long time before they gave you a fight. You need to get the technique down. Go to your local boxing gym and join them and see if they can help.

Join a gym asap. None of your punches were even remotely correct. That 'jab' ya threw everytime your right hand went miles back. All your punches curved upwards and you jumped in everytime. First fight? I'd say 18-24 months.

18 - 24 months is kicking the balls right out it .It shouldn't take anywhere near that long .

You look like you have learn ta lot of very bad habits. It would take a very long time to change habits and start you over again. Depends how much you have tried to teach yourself.

What i beleive i need is only really plenty of sparring and mitt work . I do alot of boxing fitness , mostly everything really except for the sparring and fighting , mostly all the strength and conditioning . I honestly beleive with the right trainer I could be ready in a matter of weeks ,no lie .

Weeks is optimistic, I don't think it's 18-24 weeks but you have developed some very bad habits and it would take around 4 months to correct those and hone your skills to a degree and you MIGHT be ready for a fight but even then it's edgy. It depends how fast you can learn and drop off those bad habits.

Your jab always goes up bring it down to eye level, hooks are wide and leave you open for straight punches tighten the hooks and throw them from the stationary position before learning how to throw them on the move. Join a gym and you'll get alot better. It's not the worst shadow boxing I've ever seen though

shorten up your punches, mix them up, your kinda throwin the same over and over. Its not all about punching, move your head a little too.
