Are you left handed?

No I'm right handed.

Oh...I'm a natural southpaw and switched to orthodox and my right hand is a bit faster than my left. Your right seemed a little quicker than your left.

I'm not going to read too much into it but a couple things stand out.
1) For as far forward as you're leaning, you're too close. Picture that this is your opponent. You're never going to get away with being that close, in that stance, without being uppercutted, so work on your range.
2) In the same vein, pretend it's an opponent and target specific areas. You're consistently hitting some area around chest level. Body and head, those are your targets.

Your speed and power look good for where you're at so keep with that. Start integrating your hips more (which includes feet, legs, etc) so that you're getting true power with less effort.

There's a training section here you'll want to be asking these questions in. You'll usually get the best answers there.
