Re: my coaches dont like the way of i fight
Listen to your coaches. There's nothing wrong with being unorthadox if it is effective, your style seems to be a lot of posturing, jumping about and slapping, which was barely effective against your friend (who can barely box) and will only become less and less effective at a competition level as you progress.

Dont know which guy you are---but the guy in the red shirt is holding his right hand so fucking low----he would get his jawbone left-hooked right the fuck off in the 1st round.

also what ounce gloves are those and shouldnt this be done with headprotection, seeing as you guys are amateurs?

Re: my coaches dont like the way of i fight
i thought your speed was good and good head mvement. too. But i also thougth your lead-off right hands were telegraphed a bit. but your movement is good, looks like you are standing too squared-up sometimes in close especially. keep it up!

I know. I try to imitate the movement of Pernell Whitaker or Billy Dib. Not a good copy, I know.

whitaker was 1 in a million---be careful. I think you are quick which is a positive. Keep your hands up and chin down a bit more, your chin looks like a nice targetI know. I try to imitate the movement of Pernell Whitaker or Billy Dib. Not a good copy, I know.

Anybody with an ounce of footwork who can jab a bit will give you all kinds of trouble, luckily for you the other kid could do neither. Master the basics, get a more complete boxing brain and THEN try to be clever.

Re: my coaches dont like the way of i fight
this.
until you have a firm grip of the basics you have no business wanting to lower hands and getting cute. Not if you want to be the best you possibly can. Just because top tier fighters can do all those things doesn't mean they don't have a firm grip of the basics in their arsenal. In fact, most dedicated good fighters at the top of the boxer world will often come back to the basics when things begin falling apart.
Consider it your foundation to which all else is built.

Re: my coaches dont like the way of i fight
What you are trying to do is fascinating to me. I've never seen Jimmy Wilde fight, but from what I've read and some still pictures I've seen I picture his style kind of like what you are doing.
If I were your trainer we would get to work on your feet; you get them in bad spots too often and this keeps you from punching with leverage. There is no point in making them miss if you don't counter, so that would be something else we would work on, slip and counter, and, when you counter, punch for real. We would address all the wasted motion and hyper-activity. You may have energy to burn in 3 rounds, but you don't waste it as your fights get longer.

You have potential. Don't squander it by not learning the textbook and by fighting that way.
