Two things that came into my mind after watching the hold your hand out front style were;
Go Go Power Rangers.
Luke Skywalker with a lightsaver.
"If you had this head mask on, I'd smack you around"
Absolute Gold.

I'm not the guy in the headgear. I never wear it.
My friend Patrick got angry that day, too many head shots came at him. That though, is the problem with headgear, it hampers your peripheral vision and you can't see anything coming in from the left or the right.Comment

I know you were the other guy, I just found it difficult to watch you with that guy looking like he was doing the shot put. That head gear would hinder him, it looks like he nicked it off Darth Vader. He can't be 180, really? What weight are you?Comment

Honestly, he is 180lbs, 13stone in English/UK conversion. He's also 5'10. He is extremely solid. He's also heavily into martial arts, stick fighting, rock climing and a general fitness fanatic. His upperbody is solid, dense and pretty big.
I'm around 14.5 stone, around 205lb now I've stopped weightlifting. I used to be 16 stone (225ish) when I was into the weights. 186cm tall.
The guy filming is 6'4.Comment

don't listen to the haters i thought u showed decent skill in the video but a few things to note:
1. the guy in headgear was rarely punching back at all he was just running away from you. If he was actually trying to wing shots at your face I doubt you would be as comfortable/confident doing all those showy maneuvers and walking him down like that with zero guard/defense.
2. the guy in headgear..no way he's 180lbs as you say because he looked 120lbs compared to you so if he's 180 then you must be 220 or something and neither of you looks even close to that size.
3. guys that keep their hands low (not recommended) still put their hands up SOMETIMES like when the opponent gets close etc...but you seem to keep them low at all times even when you're being attacked which isn't smart. you have decent head/body movement but it's really hard to tell how good your actual evasion/defensive skills are only because your opponent as i said before wasn't really throwing anything at you, he spent more time running away and cowering into the corner of the wall, etc.Comment

I'm around 6'1 ish, slightly taller. The loose fitting jumper is something comfortable to wear as are the jeans (you can tell sparring wasn't planneddon't listen to the haters i thought u showed decent skill in the video but a few things to note:

) The guy filming is 6'4 to get a scale on things
The problem with where we were sparring is that the room is full of objects, quite wide but very narrow so it's easy to bump into things.
I have some other sparring videos somewhere and you can then get a proper perspective of our respective sizes and it's in a much nicer environment too (a proper boxing ring).Comment
