Not too bad my man. I understand being cautious in only your second fight but man, you just allowed him to continually walk right in on you. Stick that jab in his face man, really put it in there, you gotta get him thinking about that jab as you circle the ring. Earn his respect with those jabs.
Also, since you saw tapes of him I'd figure that you saw when he threw his right hands that he always fell in behind them when coming up short. I would have kept my left purposely low in order to draw out his right hand. When he shoots the lead right just take a step back, and off of your right foot dig in to the canvas and counter back with your own mean right hand. 1- he's falling in to the shot=more power in your shot 2- your based and set to fire off of your right foot=more power. Get what I'm saying?
You really need to learn to 'walk the ring'. Meaning you're never standing in front of your opponent as you did with this guy. Sure you moved side to side with this guy but you never used the entire ring. With your jab, height, reach you should have pelted that guys face with your jab. Watch SR Robinson, that guy could walk a ring.
A lose is only a learning experience in this sport, you did well and were not hurt, that's the important thing.
I lost my 2nd fight too. This was back when you could fight twice a day. It was the JO's and I had stopped my first guy, in my first fight ever, in 1 round around 11 am. 11pm rolls around and I'm matched against this more experienced kid from Kronk. He won, so it was in my first day being an amateur boxer that I came out of it 1-1(1).
Keep rolling with it man, I see lots of potential in your jab and feet.
Oh yeah, when a guy gets in close don't stand so tall. If you want to exchange with him than get just a little lower than your opponent and dig. If you don't want to exchange than get the f outta there, you have no business fighting on the inside with that guy. Outside, using your ring and your jab.... make no mistake, in fight time that is your ring. You could make it yours with pure skill and finesse. Walking the ring.
It was a loss this time, what will you change to make sure it doesn't happen again that way. Jab and use the whole ring. Good job, you'll get 'em next time.
Also, learn to fight while moving to your right, that would keep you out of the way of his right hands. Most guys never really take the time, it's a step on top of the guy if he can't do the same.....Rockin'
