Its not just leg movement, its about making the proper moves while expending as little energy ar possible. Make your opponent expend his energy trying to get the **** away from you because he doesnt feel like getting hit by a hammer again and you wont get off 'em. You carry some power right now but in time you will find more. Believe it or not you will find the most power when you are not even expecting, when your just letting them go and all of sudden the boys setting on his ass. But you must ofcourse land the punches for him to feel the power. Thats where cutting off the ring comes in. Never follow him directly. Follow him on angles, tangents and contours. When he does eventually become trapped make him pay but dont always try to knock him out. Its about energy, the conservation of and the stealing of. Take his heart.......................Rockin'

yeah cornering and body shots r starting to be my friends.ahaa

[potatoes]

oh when i backed off of him. i tend to put my hands down when i back off of them if i think i hurt them or gave them to clean of a shot.they just take advantage alot of the times and try to hit me.i guess ppl cant return the curtiousness. I dont admire my work at all,I always think i need to improve

Everybody in the world can improve. You do a lot of things right, and that is what is important. A good tight defense, lots of head movement and a stiff lefthook to the body will win you lots of fights. The problem is, your height/weight ratio is unfavourable for in the amateurs, which makes it very difficult for you to win the BIG fights.

Most of the guys you will have to face will have the height and reach advantage. I can see that you have already learned the basics of how to neutralize the size advantage, nevertheless, it is the protocols of amateur scoring that are the problem. One pity-pat jab is worth as much as a big lefthook to the body. And what is worse is that amateur judges often do not score body shots. For a short slugger like you who depends on a body attack to set up the knockout, this poses a serious disadvantage. It is not easy to KO a good boxer in only 8 minutes.

You might find that turning professional is actually easier than the amateurs. At the onset of your pro career you will have 12 minutes to KO your victim. That extra 4 minutes makes a hell of a difference. If there is a promoter in your area give him a call and see what he will get you a fight. Don't expect much money, you ain't gettin it. Most promoters are looking for guys who are willing to work for a Chinaman's wages. Just be careful that he is not using you as a sacrifical lamb!

Good vid. I think you should move your head more, the guy was nailing you too often. Other than that, you look pretty good.

[fraidycat]

Jesus. I have so far to go.

You look great, man. You're an animal and a sportsman. Impressive.

noooooot really. when ever he really hit me is when i backed off of him and kept my hands down thinking he would do the same but he hit me and most of the other shots went on my gloves.

[Pork Chop]

very nice
i can't even think of anything other than what punchdrunk said, re some of the bobbing & weaving putting you in slightly disadvantageous position.

coulda sworn the first guy had boobs for a second :boobies:

[Exige Jr]

You are getting some long winded feedback, so i'll just keep it short.

1) When you are in close to him let them hands go more. So often you slip and fail to counter.

2) Right hook to the body, right uppercut to the head. They were asking for it all night.

3) Try jabbing and slipping off the jab to draw his counter and punish again. So jab, slip to the left, corkscrew left uppercut. Works wonders for me.

Lookin sharp Vers! I like ur style, ur a lil bomber huh! Im gonna give u sum constructive critisism, Spar the 1st guy more often than the other (he far better, ul learn more from him) and occasionally when u scored a combo u kinda stoped and admired ur work and got nailed, dont! Ur defence looks good and i luv that style, great lookin power too. I stoped most of my opponents, i dont follow am boxing but my coach says its hard to KO peeps in the Am's and i was a born puncher! Keep it up playa, lookin strong out there man!
