Yea thanks Salty, I think it has been helpful to watch it because it is the first time I have actually seen what I look like fighting. I do need to work on defence as you say, for counter attacks and can see that now as you suggest. Part of the problem I have is getting good sparring and I don't get hit much, so I think that makes me less guarded. I'm wondering if there are ways to work on it outside of sparring?

As far as stepping up the attacks I certainly plan to on Saturday. For this fight/spar I realized soon into it that I could take him out, so I tried to make it last plus he is my own club member and we need to raise the moola to run and the crowd needed to see a match so we could get them back.

For the crossed feet thing, I hope I don't do that for I know it is bad and it'll get my ass sent to the mat. I was playin a bit in the 3rd round and dancing stupidly lol, I know...and my feet were close together as a result. I have no intention of anything like that for any santioned bouts. I'm guessing it is probably a bad thing to do tho, as in can cause bad habits to form? The dancing and playing stuff for spars?

I really appreciate the insights and the good luck for Saturday.
