Sorry KT but after seeing that shower of shite i'm gonna have to call you out

I'll crush you in all departments and want to smash you to the canvas and badly hurt you.
Can you arrange for Trainer Monkey to fly me over asap so i can fight you?

In the meanwhile you should change your fighting name to "Skid Thunder" as thats all you'll be remembered for after i've schooled you (Skid being the marks you'll leave on the back of your shorts)

Bring it

This has no doubt been covered before but do you go to a gym? have you ever been shown the basics? What your doing looks so ungainly. Ive seen plenty of vids you've posted and every single one you could have won if you learned to throw a straight punch or two.

Cool, so what do you work on there? I can see that your trying to be more measured in the ring but your technique is still pretty poor isnt it?

may I suggest upping that. Several pros I know go 5 times a week as well as a number of amateurs. Not every workout has to be a killer but there is always something to be improving on. It's still early you could for example take things right down to basics and focus for a month - yes a whole month on the jab. Circle left/right/pivot/moving forward/moving back. Watch vids of good jabbers, watch their footwork. When do they get hit? Do they drop or loop their arm as they return it? etc etc etc.

Shadowbow it, work it on the bag, on the pads, constructive sparring.

I'll collect my 10% now

He really cant go more often then that.
But his crosses and jabs are much tighter now,and he actually slips shots side to side rather then allways trying to lunge backwards.
He knows I still want him to stop cocking for those wild hooks,and Im not pleased that he's afraid to use the uppercut,but Rome wasnt built in a day. We're making progress in a non-ideal situation,and thats my main concern is to constantly make progress. As long as I see him progressing,Im happy with what Im seeing. If he stagnates,or regresses,he knows he'll hear it from me.

In a sense I think he needs to go back to the drawing board. There's no sense in teaching him when to use an uppercut etc if he can't actually throw a proper one in the first place.

In my opinion he needs to work on purely just the execution and movements of his techniques and then worry about how to apply them.

Its not that he cant throw one,he just doesnt have confidence in it yet,your sort of saying what Ive been stressing with him. Lets get your punches correct,and then put it in to sequence.
The jab and the cross are fixed,his hook is better,but it still needs work,when he's tired or mad he lapses back to old Andrew,and cocks it.And he still doesnt trust his upercuts or his clinches.
Its a process,yeah if I had him here all the time it would go faster,but I cant help that.I can only deal with the situation in front of me. He has improved dramatically,which means he's doing as he's told. I understand his discomfort on the inside,he's used to being the smaller and more inexperienced guy.
