2 videos of me sparring 2-8-07(VIDEO)

I think theres a difference between just speed and leapin off your feet into a hook which you kept doin.

gotta get to them somehow.I have yet to load up on a punch yet on the videos ive posted.I tend to turn southpaw quick if I miss from all that energy I generate from powering up on a punch or haymaker u can say. but like I was saying the second guy was pissin me off talkin **** in my ear and all so I said i'll try to knock him down and others wanted me to also. so yeah I was punching hard second round but like I said after that knockdown I would hit him with speed and back off if u didnt see that. so I know when to control it.

yeah after u knocked the second guy down u could have easily put him away but u were just landin then backin off.

you look good for someone with such little sparring..a few tips though..
Work on your Jab abit more..
Sometimes after you throw hooks you're not bringing your hands back up,you're leaving them low..
To start off with in a fight when you get in close,throw a quick combo then move out,sometimes you stay inside too long and start getting caught..even though your opponent isnt throwing strong punches he's clocking up points. You're more suited to the pro ranks,because damage counts for more in the pro's,as later in the fight you'll tire and damage your opponent and eventually ko him..in the ams if you catch him with 3 solid shots and he catches you with 6 light taps,he'll probably win the round. Once you're hurting him only then stay inside and keep punishing him.
Don't only count on your bob and weave to defend yourself,try parrying shots also to get inside.
In your vid in the other post you went a little too low once whilst trying to avoid punches, as far as i'm aware you cant duck lower than waist height so be careful.
Sometimes you lean too much to the side and linger there..try not linger otherwise if he has quick footwork you may find he'll take you out.

I hope this makes sense and hope some of this may help you.

yeah it made sense thanx. I tried starting off with my jabs faster 1s but then i neglected it again.and punch and go out ill look into also. byt couldnt i get points from hitting them in the inside also though?

its alittle choppy cause of my computer though.

this guy cause he was trying to knock my head off. telling me"come on come on!!" all I was trying to do was work which your suppost to do. no need to try to ko me.

you should be getting paid for beating the **** out of these guys. you didn't jab much but your hooks did the business.

[eazy_mas]

1st: nice KO at that guy
2nd: i told you you would have trouble with southpaw didnt i. anyway th guy fuvk it up with his right hooks he should have jabed and you should have slip and then left hook to couter his jab calculate his speed and do you stuff. but overral it was good but you gotta jab and find for an opening so you wont wast energy dring the fight. lucky the other guy not that good southpaw and good southpaw boxer would have given you alot of troulbe nad he thew too many lefts at you

[Peterp]

very nice mate, i always enjoying watching your sparring and training vids, please keep posting them

You are one scary dude in the ring !

[fraidycat]

I would not want to fight you unless I had horseshoes in my gloves.

You look great, man. Way to stay inside and throw heavy in there; you take a punch really well, too. Your sparring style reminds me of the Tyson sparring videos, not just your style but the way that you stay calm and unphased.

What is your headgear? It doesn't move around even when you get hooked. Mine slides all over the place when I get hooked; it drives me nuts.

Pretty good stuff...and thanks for posting it on the board...

Not trying to be a critic, but one thing you could do is change your stance a little....you're often very squared up to your man, even when you're not throwing punches...and when you do throw punches, you're basically 100% facing your man and not at an angle...

I know that it's probably not something that could easily be changed at this point, but worth a thought...

And as someone said above, try to work on your jab a bit more, especially when you're trying to come in (that's what the "good" Tyson use to do). Throw some jabs, come in, then unload. If you don't throw jabs coming in, then when you're up against some better competition (especially taller fighters), they'll just pick you apart as you're coming in...

Anyways, keep up the great work!!

Knocking out sparring partners is not a good habit to get into to. Even if the fool standing in front of you is looking for trouble, if you lay him out cold he may not come back again!

Your Tysonesque style is working out very well for you, but you should not pick up Tyson's bad boxing habits. Did you see Tyson's two battles as an amateur with Henry Tillman? This was Tyson at his worst, headhunting like a damn fool. It became a recurring theme througout his career. The peek-a-boo style, lots of head movement and a strong body attack is the key to success for a short slugger. Not sure how far it will take you in the amateurs, but I can see you winning a title as a professional before the end of this decade!
