I have one fight and I'm looking to get my second soon but I need to fix my nose first. As for side note its an MMA guy so a few guys there training everything, he'sReally liked the footwork and especially management of distance. Looked fluid and intelligent in when to go in/out.
How many fights do you have?
side note: You partner is boxing for 12months and doesnt have shoes? A little strange but nothing important.
one of those guys so he doesnt have a bunch of boxing gear.
Good stuff, I have no real criticisms, just add tiny tweaks you'll find along the way. Don't go in one direction too much or else the guy will tag you going that way and it will hit HARD, like a counter.
I think in the future, you may want to narrow your stance (leftover from grappling and MMA) but it seems to be working great for you right now. A narrower stance will shave down your reaction/movement time so you wont feel stuck in the mud against a guy who's faster or more fluid (or powerful) than you. Every bit counts, especially when it's close. It will also keep your back leg more ready and primed to react with right hands with more distance, penetration and quickness
When you figure out and accumulate little tricks that work on most people, write them down that day so you never forget them (also don't tell them to anyone- that's bad luck).
Usually I'm not always going on way I usually work with what the opponent gives me if they try and pressure. When im on the backfoot I find when I try and dictate direction instead of going with the flow/what'
open im more prone to walk into a shot.
As for the narrow my stance its something im always trying to improve, what are some tips you would give to work on it?
More straight punches and distance control. Make him respect the straight shots even though it’s light sparring
Definitely working on throwing more straight shots, tbh I dont actually throw hooks that often as its not a huge part of my coaches style but idk I found it open a lot that day and I was also very rusty to I did a few things pretty awkward.
