-there is a tendency to reach with your right hand, to throw it from too far away and come up short with it. Again, that type of thing leaves you very vulnerable to hard counters. Same with that swinging half hook half uppercut your threw a few times with your right hand from the outside.
-when you are moving away you bring your feet together. You can't punch with your feet together and your balance isn't good. You should make it a point that, once in the ring, you never cross your feet or bring them together.
-when he gets close, don't put your gloves up and lean in; that will get you hit. Turn your left shoulder into his chest; it is a better defensive posture, and you can counter better. Also, from there you can turn him pretty easily. Get your right glove on his left elbow and turn him; you'll be suprised how little effort it takes. You can do the same thing going the other way.
-you waste a ton of motion, moving way too much. Especially with a guy like that, coming pretty much straight in, you can maintain your distance with more economical movements.
-on a few occassions you moved straight back into the corners. You have to move in circles, not straight lines, to stay off the ropes and out of corners.
All in all, though, you look pretty smooth and comfortable in the ring.
