Well, I'm pretty new to boxing myself but I can tell you what I've learned so far, and maybe of the more experienced members will help you out. To start with, the biggest problem is you keep switching from orthodox to southpaw, meaning left foot forward to right foot forward. When you're doing your combos you don't have your guard up, ever. You might be able to get away with that when you get better but if you're just starting don't risk it. Your elbows aren't tucked in, you're too square and once you start getting into it you leave your chin wide open. You're also not using your full range of motion on those punches, if you want to be a pressure fighter learn the basics first and then work on speed and getting in on the guy.

Do you have any boxing gyms near you? Best thing to do is go and speak to a trainer and he'll correct what you're doing and get you going in the right direction. Good luck.

Edit: You're also leaning a lot, if you're off balance when you get hit you're going to fall or stumble. You need to use your body more when you're hooking and you keep leaving your feet. When you're punching never let a foot or both feet leave the ground.

First of all you drop your hands and **** back with a lot of your punches. Your punches should be coming straight from your guard to your opponent.

You need to rotate your body with every punch since that's how you get power in your punches. This includes all the way down to the foot of the side your are throwing a punch from. Snapping your punches adds even more power but work on the basics first before you worry about that.

You walk around slowly when you should be on the balls of your feet ready to react to anything your opponent does. Part of this is probably conditioning, and you'll need to build up cardio and muscular endurance to be able to do this all the time.

The last thing I'll mention and probably the most important is you look down a lot when you cover up. This is terrible since you can't see what your opponent is doing or what punches they are throwing at you.

If you want to get serious about boxing you should probably find a boxing gym and you'll learn a lot faster from someone critiquing your form in real time. Always work on your form when doing drills since that's how you make good technique into a habit and you won't even have to think about it.

like the poster above me said, you're best off going to a boxing gym and get under someones tutelage.

watch more fights, get motivated enough to want to emulate movement, punching technique, foot placement and proper stance.

it's going to take you a while because my 4 year old got you beat by like months, esse. took balls to upload that video and i like it. not balls, your balls. not like your balls, but the ... fok it.

[Easy Work.]

like someone said, atleast you put up the video and asked for pointers.

You look a little sloppy, you need to tighten up your gaurd and have better posture, also work on cardio/footwork you look gassed.

You look like someone who has never boxed before. You need face to face correction on a dozen different things plus loads of hours drilling those corrections under supervision. Join a boxing gym and good luck.
