whats your weighT?

Pretty good. You telegraph your right hand a little and the red guy was open for left hook to the body pretty much all the time. Pretty good footwork. Cong**** on your first fight.

It was at welterweight and thx for the compliments mate.

I respect that you are getting the ring but your jab looks to be more of a pawing distraction than a legitimate punch, and you seem very wild when you throw hooks and overhand rights.

Train harder in the gym and work on bobbing and weaving and some head movement, because it seems when he comes in to hit you, instead of bobbing and using footwork to get in a good position to counter, you brace yourself for impact and throw a punch aimlessly.

This was like watching a barroom brawl.

I am not being disrespectful and I hope that you can understand my honest criticisms and not take them negatively. That is just my perspective of course.

Decent fight man... Like I told you already just need to tightin up a little bit and keep form. You will settle down after a few fights.. Good luck man and stay safe reap.

Congratulations on your first fight. It's been many years for me but I remember the first time I got into the ring the difference in intenstiy compared to sparring in the gym.

You did fine. As always there are things to work on and get better as your experience grows. For what it's worth, watch dropping the hands when you duck, and instead of back pedeling so much (easy to say as I sit at this keyboard and not dealing with someone throwing punches at my face) , maybe work on some angles and slipping. Regarding the ducking you are leaving yourself open for a low hook or upper cut and it looks from this angle of the camera that you are taking your eyes off your opponent making countering more difficult and again at risk of taking a short you can't see.

On the flip side, I like that you are willing to mix it up, can take a bunch of punches, and while you admit you weren't in the best shape you could be, it's not like you were unable to move at the end of each round. You've got some talent (I've seen a lot of local pro fights with a lot less skill between the ropes) and I'm sure you will get back in the gym, work with your coaches and trainers, and will be much improved the next time.

Nice job and good luck on the future.

thankz everyone for ur comments i had a week to train for my fight so i wasnt at my best but its my first fight and alot of things are easier said then done if u havent been in the ring. I know what i need to work on and im sure when i get the time il defo work on it, i boxed and i fought at the same time.

It was both our first debut fights we was both undefeated but someones 0 had to go lol. so does everyone think that was more of a bar room brawl then a boxing match?

[sterling]

anyone see it when we both hit each other with right hands at the same time when i was against the ropes? lol awesome that was round 3.
Didnt anyone see in the 2nd round when i used my footwork to land a flush right hand?
i stepped side to side then fainted with a jab then landed a straight right right through his guard then landed the right again then hit him with a 5 - 10 punch combo all around the ring lol.
