Two things I've noticed that are good signs for your future career.
The first is that rather than fold under his aggression, you fought back hard and continued to do so. Your form may have suffered but you've proved you have some balls and some fighting instincts.
Two is that you fought on and continued to throw punches (wide and telegraphed ones but punches all the same) despite being tired. The other guy was in better condition than you, and a little more experienced, but you were able to keep it together and continue to land on him.
My advice is to reduce your bodyfat through better dieting (eat more raw fruits and vegetables, switch to wheat breads and pastas rather than white if you haven't, and no soda or beer) and perhaps some interval type training. Also, continue to work on your form. You are a very strong guy and just learning how to throw a straighter right and stiffer jab will help you tremendously at this stage. You can work on the upppercut and hook to help you on the inside but really dedicate yourself to the jab and cross and master them both as you'll need them both as a 6'8" outside fighter. Straighten your punches, get in better fighting shape, perfect your footwork and defense, and you will realize your potential.

Just wanted to bump this thread up for those who haven't watched it yet.
Truth: I was just visiting friends in Boston. I wish I lived there, and plan on moving there within a year's time, but good luck with the fight!
