I feel weird about pounding them on the inside
I only watched round 1 but I didnt see anyone doing any pounding. It just looked like light sparring to me.
I really like doing light sparring, you can try out new things and not worry about getting too hurt

Im in no real position to give advice (still learning myself!) but I think you should do something about your guard. You were eating way too many slomo jabs to the head.
