The quality of this video is not great but you can see here what I mean
you do the same thing you step in and out and you circle around very well.

If you post this on ask the trainer you will get great advice. You have great head movement, keep those hands up, and a good jab. Make sure you use that jab, you have a great jab and keep bouncing off you toes. For your weight you should be a little less flat footed. Remember your combinations as they are helping you and use them as you don't seem to have the one punch KO power. When fighting a guy that bombs, the combos will win you the fight. You move very well around the ring - keep that up.

You will be a fighter if you keep this level of fighting. Well done son.

I'm in the 132 Novice class and I made it into the finals and I'm fighting at MSG in about two weeks. I have my fights on youtube and I wanted to see what you guys thought. I got off to a rough start in my first fight, but I;ve been trying to learn from my mistakes. If you guys have any constructive criticism that'd be great. I wanna learn as much is I can. THANKS

Pretty good...You kept getting better as the fights went on...I can offer a few things to you in advice..

1. As already mentioned jab more...a lot more...when you get to the Garden you will meet a whole new level of comp...your jab can mean a win or loss on the cards...

2. When you are against the ropes I noticed a few times you dropped your left when sliding off..leave yourself wide open for a right hand..

Good stuff keep working at it...good luck at the Garden

Just finished watching em all...i don't really have any more to add than has been already stated, good stuff man.

Thanks guys, I've been working on my jab alot now, throwing it from different angles and stuff and I have been trying to use it more, in my 4th fight I put a decent amount out, obviously i gotta throw more of em but at least I feel I have been improving in that aspect

man, i think you look great.. real evasive and all..

the only thing i'd add (don't think it's been said) is that i think it was the 3rd fight of the bunch you posted, but the kid kept lunging in to clinch, with his hands low.. and i know that it's real easy to overanalyze everything that's going on when you're inside the ring.. but if you took a step back as he came in and threw a straight right i think he would've hit the deck out cold..

especially when you would lead with body shots, you had your opponent dropping his elbows to block them.. so if you feinted and threw a straight right up top it would be RIGHT on the money..

i'm not saying you should watch Peter Manfredo vids.. but all of his decent knockouts were from straight right hands/right crosses.. he doesn't have a TON of power, but when you hit someone as dead on as he has then they will go down..

Good stuff kid . I liked your hand speed and I also notice your stamina is also good.
Try to use that jab a bit more like someone said and practice your movement more. Movement to the sides helps avoiding punches as well and taht also gets the other guy more tired.

I became a fan. keep those videos coming

I'm walking around at 180 currently. I'm looking for a bout at 178, but if I were given some notice, I could bust my ass down to 165 (I think?).

Hey guys I won the finals!! the day started off when i went to the city to weighin around 11, i weighed in a lb under...but anywayz i made weight and hung around the whole day at the affinia in the city, 6 o clock i had to be back at msg where i waited to go on around 8:45...anywayz the first round started off feeling eachother out a bit and i noticed i could land my jab at will so i used it to set some other stuff later on. we traded some combos and i noticed he wasnt as strong as i thought he would be so i wasnt afraid to get in and strike to the body...towards the end of the round he kept his hand high so i teed off to the body with some cotto-esque shots haha 2nd round started off and like i ssaid i used my jab a lot and i would hit the body with it and come over with an over hand right which landed on the button and sent him back...i went after him on the ropes til he got out of the corner...third round we pretty much went after eachother and i moved my head a lot, i noticed he couldnt figure out my defense so i just kept with it...anywayz i won by a unanimous decision and boy am i pumped hah thanks again for your support and ill get the video up sometime when it gets on msg, because my friend who taped it did horrible job because he wasexcited haha

Congratualations fella, that is truely fantastic!
Well done!

Awesome job(this is No Contest...I lost a bet) I like that you jab to the body, not alot of people use that but it is great for opening up the right hand follow up. That's what Mayweather has been doing lately to ODLH and I saw him do it to Hatton as well. Congrats on winning the finals.

I want to say CONGRATULATIONS bro.....Go ahead , you are doig good...

Whats up dude,

Nice fights.. and congrats bro.. thats good shit

Bigger and better things now man, lotta great fighters started out doing it big at the golden gloves man.. for a while now i keep my eye on the golden gloves cos the talent is great anyways.. Might be the start of something great

Stay blessed
