That was a win for you. Wide. Don't know what the hell people were taking about, that guy didn't land clean on you because of your head movement in exchanges.But why get into exchanges when you're the longer jab with better movement? Don't take the risks if you don't have to?
Good jab.
Think of how to box before you get into the ring. It's just variability and math your feet can be in a certain position->you can be on the balls of your toes OR on your heals. I saw one foot stance with your back foot being perpendicular and flat most of the time. This allows for good power on your shots, but stops you from moving in and out fast or finishing when needed. Not a negative thing per say, but learn variability because your opponents strengths and weaknesses are just as variable as your footwork.
Something you might want to add to your arsenal since oyu have some nice pop and speed in your punches is keeping your range on the balls of your toes, feinting/jabbing to cut distance, then planting your front foot followed by your back foot to start a hook/combination with a hook. This allows you to stay mobile while giving you power in exchanges. Again you have to mix it up and make sure not to telegraph your moves (practice making that transition subtle from range to distance in your shadow boxing/warm up) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT3FDZXS1uc Someone just posted this. Look 1 min in when Mayweather measures and cuts the distance to land hooks. Look at what happens to his feet. He goes from his balls to flatfooted to add power
Practice walking in an repeated S or 5 to get your footwork down even better.
Measure more with your jab. You just moved back in a straight line a lot, and shot your right missing and predictably just lowering your head. Someone will time with an uppercut or a feint/hook when you come back up. Something you could have done to land those rights and get out off the ropes/corner was to jab/feint, take a lateral (literally a wide side step) with your left foot and shoot a fully turned right hand while contiuing to move on your way out.
See garcia's first combination in slow motion, paying attention to his left foot changing from his wide left hook to his fully turned over right hand. Look at his chin, touching his chest, tucked in, right hand out and returning by his temple (stopping a left hook counter), left returning to his face after throwing a hook. So his left hook went out and as his right shot out came back. He returned to his guard.
see him also in those highlights use the same footwork drill of two steps back half step out to his left to stop his opponent from getting set to throw punches at a shorter distance. I didn't see any drilled half steps form you in that entire fight. You missed a lot of your over hand rights by a couple of inches when you could have taken a half step forward, throwing your right, and then gotten out by jabbing and taking a full step back

You should make your speedbag higher and practice keeping your hands up more and returning it after a combination. Not all the time to be predictable, but most of the time. I feel like had your opponent had your same reach, or been like you physically he could have landed some clean shots that would have put you down, simply from the nature of the exchanges and your right hand always being lower than your temple and especially your chin area.

See 4:50 to fix this.
You kept your chin tuck a lot of the time, but in a lot of your exchanges your eyes during(reactive) and more importantly before (predictive) throwing your right hand and lowering your head/chin were not looking at your opponent, but looking at the floor straight down to the point I doubt you could be seeing your opponent out of the periphery. Your head should not be parallel to the floor The two consequences of this are 1. You are telegraphing your moves with your eyes 2. You are not seeing what your opponent might be throwing/countering or setting up to throw (with your legs or upperbody for instance) when you come back up and could get hit by a shot
Mayweather did it a few times in the corner against Guerrero.
Rigo also does it with Donaire at 3:43 after getting hit in a combination http://vimeo.com/67996027 Notice again neither's head/chin/eyes is parallel to the floor. Both are angled
Stay active coming in and out of exchanges and realize the ring is the easiest part of boxing as far as work. Most of the thinking and work is done before then.
Something else AMSB would do is to look up at a fixed object and spin for a minute or so just to stimulate what being knocked out it like. Just something else to add to your arsenal
Homework: sometimes matthysse and floyd duck to their right against orthodox fights, why is this?
Thanks for taking the time to watch my fight and also report on it, obviously you took your time and fully analysed the full thing, especially as im not a pro. Also looking at my good and bad points and giving a reason for each.
Red edged it IMO. More effective punches in the first 2 rounds.
thank you That is the type of advice im looking for. Like i said i want clear brutal honesty to be fair.
I'm assuming you are the guy in red, It was an entertaining fight, you could tell the guy in blue tried to adjust, or was just plain defeated in the last round. The guy in red had better footwork, and made better use of the ring. The guy in blue was also more predictable. That one 2/3 punch combination with and uppercut and a hook followed by a pivot out was a good one.
P.S. the guy in blue was wearing the same boots I wear. :D love em.
i am the guy in the red. and thanks for your advice.
Are you all f*cking serious? The guy in blue CLEARLY won.
(no disrespect to the TS)
thank you for your feedback. I guess cause he won the fight that makes sense.
good fight man keep it up and if you have more fights post them please
will do, my next major fight will/should be in july. If i have in any in the meantime or if i find away to download some older intresting fights on here i will.
Just watched the fight a second time. I really enjoyed that fight. Thanks for that. Big respect.
thank you for your constructive feedback. glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah, it definitely showed. Good stuff.
thanks that was when i was 17 im now 21, i have an actual fight where i fought recently, in finland in the final! without headgear i wont tell you the result il let you watch ;)

You gotta nice counter left hand and right hook. That's for sure.
And if you're not formerly trained, you're a natural fighter. I doubt you haven't trained before.
That was a straight up clinic.
i have trained and am currently training and i also fight for scotland. I recently fought in kazakhstan in the world champioships, Also without (head gear)
you have to be retarded if anyone fought maidana won that fight! if they fought again it would be a close fight. BUt Khan won that fight apart from round ten and didnt go down.
close fight, floyd won get over it. it was no way a robbery. the fact it was draw was weird. I defo gave marcos the first round after that nothing was definitive.
The only guy Khan needed to rematch was Prescott. Even beating him now does wonders for me. It's revenge. Not a business decision, revenge. When I see guy like Lennox Lewis have to wait to get revenge(Oliver McCall) I cringe at Khan not wanting revenge. Prescott Khan II can be a stay busy fight. You ain't whoopin my ass in a 1:30 and we ain't never fighting again.
thats such a strange thing to request, anyway who the **** is prescott? the garcia rematch would show more progress.
This just shows the diffrence in respect broner and khan show, yet khan no matter what will still get the most hate. period.
The amount of abuse Khan is getting you wouldn't have to have watched the fight to know he did well against Collazo.
Khan is a good addition to the welterweight division.
Will he get stopped at some point over the next two years? He obviously will because of the level he fights at.
But he has always been willing to fight the best.
Some of the saddos on here would be wanking themselves off if someone like Thurman to lay Khan out.
The 'hate' he receives is a bit unsavoury.
100% true, know body is saying he is the best, even his fans ( most of them) but he is in a good fight all the time, and if you hate him its good to see him getting k.o ed
Khan definitely has the biggest heart. It took a very long time for Calzaghe to gain the courage to fight anyone decent. He nearly passed out before the Jeff Lacy fight having extreme panic attacks and pulled put of a Glen Johnson fight four different times. Only at the very end of his career when he fought and beat Kessler he had some confidence in himself, but after nearly losing to 43 year old Hopkins he lost a lot of confidence and was too fearful to fight undefeated Kelly Pavlik, instead choosing to fight Roy "don't worry son, he's not that good anymore" Jones. Compared to Khan who despite losing, keeps looking to challenge himself.
Agree 100%
