I think you're an extremely talented 15 year old. You have tremendous composure and boxing ability which was displayed in your video. If you don't mind, I'll give you some things I noticed.
1) You have a terrific jab. Nobody ever uses a jab anymore, but you did a great job utilizing it in the first and second round. You should try using it for more than just setting up your right cross. If you double up that jab, I could see you giving fighters like the one you fought a lot more trouble than you already did.
2) You're a good counter puncher, but don't rely on it. You were clearly winning so you looked comfortable letting the guy come to you, but you were sitting back too much for my liking. You have good combinations and good speed when you decided to let loose. In the second round and end of the third round, you were basically waiting ten seconds at a time for your opponent to come, just so you can pot shot with the overhand right. Throw more combinations and walk your opponent down, especially when it was clear that you were outclassing him by the third round.
3) Don't be so straight. You were the taller fighter that night, but you had your head up high in the clouds whenever your opponent would come charging in. You looked uncomfortable when he would try to pressure you on the inside, and if you didn't use your jab as well as you did to back up, then he could've caught your head with some hooks. Try not to be so upright when your opponent is coming in close - try pivoting to set up more angles instead.
Otherwise, I thought it was clear that you were the more composed fighter with good speed, pop, and technique. At your age, I can imagine you being one hell of a fighter in the upcoming years. I hope you stick with it and showcase more of that nice speed and combinations in your next fight, because from what I see, you look like you have plenty of power and speed.
