Congratulations on winning the fight. It looked like he sometimes got the better of you on long range with his jab but you beat him when you got on the inside and let your hands go. I would be a little carefull with the wide right hook you sometimes throw to counter his jab, he didn't seem to be able to capitalize on it but a faster guy might have been able.

Thanks man, yea that guy is like 6'0 and I'm only 5'8, he has a long ass reach. My trainer kept telling me to throw my jab under his. I gotta work on my right hook. I throw it too wide and looping
#1 What was your gameplan ?? I know that in amateur bouts you have no idea who you're gonna end up fighting, but, watching the fight it didn't seem like you had a concrete plan of attack.
#2 You look like an arm-puncher, and a bit wild. You need to "sit-down" on your punches. Your head movement is more like a head movement of a guy in a mosh-pit, that's why you didn't have the proper balance and the leverage on your punches. Where you head goes everything else follows.
#3 Layoff the Mayweather vids, lol
#4 It seemed like your plan from the get-go was to counter him, that's cool, but, your counter-punching attack could've been better if you would've kept your forward progress throughout the bout, you had a habit of steppin' back and then trying to counter off his jab. That's fine, if you were the type to be able to get out and get in quickly. That's why you were having problems getting to him, eventhough you landed the cleaner shots and won on effort.
You're the shorter guy, my advice would've been to apply pressure from the get go, via jabbing your way in, slippin' and kept movin' forward, rather than steppin' back and trying to counter a guy who was longer than you.
What I saw for the most part was, the taller guy would go in n' out with his jab or follow it up with a right and you would avoid it by stepping back yourself and countering with your own jab, that's why, for the most part, you weren't able to reach him. He stepped back and you stepped back, nothing gained !!
Your fight is a good example why coaches in general always tell their students to be first, it's even more important when a shorter guy is fighting a taller opponent.
