I got owned

the positive is that you know you can do better, you know you didn't stick to a plan. Next time make a conscious effort to box smart.

Will indeed!

Believe it or not, what I neglected to do was be aggressive!

Ended up staying on the outside and getting my eye shut with a punch. It was nice and competitive til I couldn't see the jab coming.

Back in karate class, I had a serious problem with not being aggresive enough.

Another thing I've found is you can't always be afraid of being hit (don't know if that was a problem of yours or not, but it has helped me in the past). Don't be scared to hit him, even if it means you may get hit.

I've got a good chin. I know that. I don't mind pain. I know that.

My problem is, I've developed into an aggresive fighter with an offensive style

that's fine but do you want to end up with a rubber face like Gatti? There will be people down the line who have the skill to take advantage of that, don't be put off about using your boxing skills. Knowing when to box and when to turn up the heat.

True I guess.

I just have to get good at the toughest thing of all. Being elusive going forward.

Every time a fighter spars they're likely to get concussed to some degree.
What varies is the level of concussion and the severity of it'd effect.
I realise this.
