Please give me some feedback on my mittwork (video included)

Hello everyone.
I've been reading this forum for a while now but I just recently joined.
I'm 37 and I've been practicing boxing for about 7 months now. I really want to improve as I have 0 fights. I'm a stickler for detail and will not compete until I feel that I'm 100% prepeared, so please feel free to pick me apart and give me suggestions.

From this video I think that my posture is sometimes not correct, as I'm leaning too much for the straight cross. I also think my chin and head are maybe a bit too close to my sternum thus sacrificing oral stability.
Maybe the left hand too close to my chin, and my stance a bit too open (whole body facing my opponent).

Thanks for the feedback in advance and here's the link:

For 7 months youre doing okay, considering age and condition. Posture could be better. It doesnt matter to me but, Id like to see more foot movement while defending, instead of trying to slip all the time for show.

Thanks for the feedback Scrap!
I do agree with you about the footwork.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I have recently discovered that if my torso stays centered and doesn't lean its easier to stay on the balls of the feet and thus be faster defending using footwork.
Also with the chin back it's helluva a lot easier to breathe.
I was amazed how big of a difference those little things made.

You will find its the feet being to wide, which is the reason the Torso is reaching. Plus if the Head moves in any direction without the feet, youre of balance, and will go back to where you were as regards the Head. Making the target area easy to read.

In your opinion, is my feet too wide in this particular video?
Thanx in advance.

Im afraid they are, thats why you are compensating with the shoulders. Plus the lower back is tigtening up because of it.
