My Second College boxing match(Video)

[Mojita]

This is coming from another fighter since i was 13.

So there's things I'm about to say that may be wrong or not.

I've only watched the first two rounds.

At first you seem not to relaxed and wanted to press the attack from the get-go, (which isn't a bad thing just look to be more relaxed)

In the first round, i saw he was so open to body shots it was ridiculous. With your height, i pictured you slamming his body with jabs and slapping a hook when he cringed down a bit to avoid it. That's what you could done all night to this guy.

Another thing is, you don't seem confident with your jab. You seem to flick it, just to flick and then run in with another combination. You always want the jab to best your sharpest tool. With a guy your size and height, a stiff jab will help alot more. Like i said before, had you stiffed his belly during those rounds, you would have alot easier time to land more combinations.

Don't rush in when your trying to put together combos. If that guy was higher level, he'd just side step or pull back and counter you. Always be confident when your going to come in that your going to land with the same intent of being smart not to get hit back so much.

Do you ever try to use fients during fights? Fake coming in, side step then lunge in with your dominant hand and move then go for the combination. I have alot of success when i kept fighters thinking i was going todo one thing and do the next.

The guy on the other side didn't seem like he really wanted to engage with you much, all I really would like to see if more patience, not alot of rushing in and sharper punches and remember the jab to the body. It probably does hurt him much, but you can set up so much with the jab to the body. and try to side step a little more.

Sorry if this was alot. Trying to help, not criticize.

It was 165 and your right, I should have gone to the body more.

^Damn 5'6" 165lbs man? Or you mean he was 165? 165 is too much for your frame.

I like boxing taller guys because they're very easy to hit in the body. I make sure all of my sparring partners are taller and bigger than me. That way when I fight some one my size and height or close i'm 5' 8" so anybody that's 5'8"-5'11", even 6', the tallest I have boxed was a 6' 2" 190lbs guy. I find it very easy to hit them.

My sparring partner Jonathan is a whopping 220lbs 5' 11". I'm currently 155 5' 8". It pays off though.

Anyway, all I saw wrong there was that you had to go to the body more. And it's easier said than done because i'm in the outside looking in, but from what I saw the guy had no footwork at all so his body was there to be hit all day.

. your left shoulder and left toe should be pointing at him.

I can understand the toe part, but, the shoulder ? Please elaborate. thanks

And to the TS, well, there's already been some good advice already. Then again, isn't this suppose to be your coach's job ?

Me personally, I would never put one of my students in looking like that, I'm pretty sure that preparing for this fight you more or less sparred the same way. Obviously, you're green and not too many folks(including myself) looked great in their first few outings. However, I just don't think your coach took the time(or maybe simply lacks the expertise) to prepare you.

Bottomline, work hard, but work smarter next time and maybe it's time to look for a new coach !!

Good **** phantom,, Keep up the good work

[IIG]

Props for that video. Yall both got solid shots in. I don't know who I would've picked to win if it wasn't for the standing 8.

I like to keep it simple:


You need to stay out of his range and force him throw jabs or combinations. Then time him with some quick combo's, then pull out again.

As other people said stay on your toes abit more.

Your 2nd round was great being patient and taking your time will allow you not to gas as easy, and frustrate taller opponents who will start chasing you allowing you to time and come in quickly if you stay on your toes.

If your going to come in a bit more head movement would help also. You used head movement out of his range and then moved in. You need to do both together. Your pattern of headmovement I think was left, right, left, punch.

At start of fight you kinda croutched or put your hands up while he was hitting glove it still takes it out of you.

Also there were time where you could of kicked him in the nuts but you didn't rookie mistake always take the low blow ;P

[King of Sting]

A word of advice to the TS. Keyword: Solar Plexus(it works everytime) And please don't rush in with your head down or up, you're an accident waiting to happen.

When going in, always, always throw a jab(s), a feint, head movement, or all three combined.

Man, when you hit that sweet spot(solar plexus), he has no choice but to protect it and he'll have to drop his guard just a lil lower and he'll stoop a lil lower, then you bring it upstairs with straights rights and go around his guard with hooks or as soon as you see him lower his head, **** him with an uppercut right inbetween his guard.

You have gotten plenty of good advice in this thread already so I just want to give you props for getting in there and giving it your all Phantom, green sent
