Thanks guys, I've been working on my jab alot now, throwing it from different angles and stuff and I have been trying to use it more, in my 4th fight I put a decent amount out, obviously i gotta throw more of em but at least I feel I have been improving in that aspect

man, i think you look great.. real evasive and all..

the only thing i'd add (don't think it's been said) is that i think it was the 3rd fight of the bunch you posted, but the kid kept lunging in to clinch, with his hands low.. and i know that it's real easy to overanalyze everything that's going on when you're inside the ring.. but if you took a step back as he came in and threw a straight right i think he would've hit the deck out cold..

especially when you would lead with body shots, you had your opponent dropping his elbows to block them.. so if you feinted and threw a straight right up top it would be RIGHT on the money..

i'm not saying you should watch Peter Manfredo vids.. but all of his decent knockouts were from straight right hands/right crosses.. he doesn't have a TON of power, but when you hit someone as dead on as he has then they will go down..
