Me sparring after 8 months of experience

[SplitSecond]

body is out of balance, legs are weak, you need to box more on the move and with better technique, and lift less

[berkeleyboxer]

Cracked me up with the whole "my power will destroy everyone in my weight class" line

im the strongest fighter pound for pound in any weight class for amateurs. i hack squat 800 lbs..i have devasting power so u can laugh but the reality is i hit like a middleweight

How much you squat has little bearing on your punch power. And if your serious about the bolded, then i'm speechless...

However, on the video, you looked very good for having only boxed for 8 months! You looked pretty quick with your hands and moved your head nicely at times.

I have to agree with the people saying to keep your hands up, though. Keeping them low may work out okay in sparring, but in an actual fight you may find yourself getting tagged a lot for it. Overall very good though, keep at it bro!

You have some problems with your feet. Mostly they are too far apart and this affects a number of other things that you do as well. For instance, you tend to throw your left hook off the front foot. For it to be a truly effective punch, the weight needs to get turned onto the right leg, and your feet are generally too far apart for that to happen. Tighten up your stance a bit and you'll be suprised at how much faster you are on your feet and sharper with your punches, both faster and harder.
There are times when you do things to create openings and do not capitalize on them. For example, parrying that jab. Parrying creates an opening and a few times you let that slip by you. I think it is probably a combination of two things, your thought process first and foremost, then your feet. See, you want to maintain your distance so you can be just out of reach of that jab and flat out ignore it because every time you slip or parry and do nothing else, you tip off what you are thinking to a good opponent. They'll take advantage of that. So when you do parry the jab, come right in behind it. And that is easier if your feet are not so far apart.
You swing your right hand instead of really punching with it, not much turn on it, and sometimes your chin is right up in the air. You look about right for 8 months. Keep up the hard work and you'll be alright.

how much you can squat doesn't mean sht

your legs are not well co-ordinated to boxing, so box more on the move, shadowbox, learn proper technique, bend the knees etc i.e work on your footwork, this is what i mean by your legs are weak

Can't argue with The Muss, he once was a warrior

You've only been training for 8 months? Pretty damn good, bro. Seriously, you should change your mindset and be more humble. You don't want to walk around thinking you'll destroy everybody in your weight class. Theres always someone out there who is either more experienced, stronger, or faster than you.

Yeah Seriously and You don't wanna just rely on power on boxing. It will usually backfire on you. The advice your getting is good, Do you want advice for being an amateur or being a pro? You won't get better if we allow you to slip.. I do have to say smooth out your movement It looks like your tensing yourself up, and it's probably because your relying on power, but what get's me the most is if your a power puncher and your main focus is not speed, i wouldn't leave my left hand down like that, you get less power throwing punches from the position and There were a few times U picked up your hand slightly showing that you were about to jab.
