your way to flat footed and you dont move much unless absolutely necessary. also youre reachin for your punches. need to work on lots of stuff. more head movement, more feints, quicker movements in general. you look like you could have a good in and out kinda style, but you gotta keep light on your feet they're both flat footed you get no range or leverage it seems... keep it it!

Did you fight anyone from BC? Are you a Sasky fighter?

No im from Manitoba, this guy was from Calgary and the second guy I fought was from Saskatchewan. Were you there?

No but several fighters from my club in Kamloops were participating.
My tips:

Remember it's amateur boxing, those jabs count as points against you.

Use your feet to get in position to punch not your head or hands.

Straight punches are more effective then wide swings. Your obviously a pressure fighter and need to be wiser about, how you apply the pressure.

Defence and countering will help you get into position to tag your opponent. Be more selective and calmer.

These tactics would have gotten you a UD instead of a MD.

looks good to me, half of these dudes on here give advice thinking you're suppose to look like a pro. Everything looks good to me, good movement, good combos.
