Anyone got any ideas about how i can sort of concentrate more when im fighting? It might be because im going to fast or not giving myself time to think, but im not sure. Anything you can think of will be appreaciated.

you need to stay calm ..punching on instinct is good if they are good punches
but u need to let your shoulders stay relaxed ...practice on staying calm and only using your jab for a bit or practicing moving and then workig on the quick 1-2 and pick your shots ...so you sub concisly will learn that you are safe in the ring .....the best fighters are at home in the ring
