I think that the problems with your right hand are really a problem with understanding and judging range and distance. Putting pressure, throwing more punches, sitting down on your punches and all that are just notions and things to say until you understand distance and how to get in position to do all of those things. A good place to start is by learning to circle and jab, both to the left and to the right. Then learn to stay just out of reach so you can step in with a jab. When you don't gauge it well, you leap back too far, then can't get back in again without leaping and reaching.
Finally, the big red flag. When you punch your chin is up in the air; seems to me like you are trying to pull your head back even as you want to move in with a punch. I would devote all of my energy to correcting this problem before I gave another instant of thought to moving forward and exchanging punches because you will get clocked real hard, even by a guy just swinging, much less a guy that has an idea of what he is doing.
Not bad, all in all. You move good, most of the rest is just inexperience and not knowing yet. But keep you chin down- the head should move with the torso.
Thank you for taking the time to respond Grey, your points are very helpful. Keeping my chin down is something that has been brought up before, I thought i'd fixed the problem before this fight but obviously not as the footage confirms. The problem is I don't put my chin up consciously it just seems to happen so it's hard to pick up when it's up or down because in my head I think it's down. I'll make sure I fix this problem ASAP
