Yo you losing your first 3 doesn't mean anything except you need to lean how to win because you have ability. The more you fight you will realize how to win amateur fights. The judges hate holding so move laterally more if you don't like to be inside. Also you need to go to the body. You where headhunting a lot and body work will really help your game.

unlucky ur win next one, work on your movement and footwork you look a bit tight and stiff and your footwork is ploddy and kinda slow, too improve these you should do loads of shadowboxing, i aint hatin tho u looked good, the more fights you have the easier it will become to relax in the ring as well.

keep training hard mate..

from what i saw from your videos..

use your jab more (a strong stiff jab! snap it in and snap it out..warm up on the heavy bag for the first round with just jabs only when you train).. find your range to set up your combinations.. when he comes in throw a stiff jab and a strong hook to the body.. don't be afraid to punch at angles.. if he gets passed your jab step off to the side and unload a body and head combo.. slip straight back out.. you tend to brawl a little too much and get off balance and then go in for a clinch.. i noticed he charged in at you a few times, most times throwing his left with his right hand in a useless position.. this guy was begging to be countered.. anticipate this.. roll under his straight left to the side and crack him with a strong left hook to the chin..

also, work on your footwork a little more. you want to finish every punch with a great deal of balance.. you need to work on your flow a little bit.. do more shadow boxing and make sure at the end of your combinations (and during) you are fully balanced.. remember the fundamentals.. you were lighter on your toes in the first round compared to the third.. make sure your conditioning is not holding you back at all..

last thing for now is to work on your left hook.. it didn't look too convincing from the videos.. put your body into it and punch through the target.. really work on your left handed punching power (which will really come from technique first which you can then execute on a heavy bag.. shadow boxing with the mirror will help with technique).. you also didn't throw any uppercuts (or any that i saw).. throw a jab for range and follow it up with an uppercut and left hook..

i'm just pointing out the negatives. on the positive side.. you had some nice fundamental defense and it looks as though you have a strong right punch. for a third fight you are doing good! keep working and you will be laughing.. once that other guy fights someone more experienced he will be flat on his ass.. it may look flashy now but it wont hold.. once you work on your countering skills a little more i'd have my money on you for a rematch

Tell your brother to get closer with the camera next time bro, don't worry about your W's and L's just yet, worry about gaining experience and showing improvement in each bout, making the same mistakes is what you worry about in the amateurs, use this video, (seriously tell him to get closer, lol) and others to see your flaws and work on those in the gym with sparring and pad work,

don't lose faith and keep up the hard work, it pays off, and it's well worth it.

I'm pretty much the same size as you, you look a bit slow. As the other said work on your foot work, you look a little bit uncomfortable. more foot work. The begining of the second round you were crossing your feet when you were backing up. ALso backing up, Don't do that either.

**Joachim** · 03-09-2011, 04:43 AM

****, bring your hands back when you throw combos, do some more shadow boxing. Watch 1:01 - 1:02 when youre throwing, If he was more experienced he would have layed you out right there easily, you just got overwhelmed and let go too much.

the guy was a southpaw with a strange style...the ref took points from me for holding...I'm the guy in the black and red trunks

How long you been training dude?

You look pretty good ... better than your record suggests.

Keep putting in the hard work in the gym and the wins will come.

Good luck.
