You could put it in the Ask the Trainer section, they're probably be able to provide better advice than any of us.

No. It's in the Saddo agreement when you first sign up. Kid Thunder posts vid. It must be ridicule. It's part of the rules

I saw the first 4:15 seconds

1)shouldn't you be wearing headgear? I mean you got hurt a few times out there, this is just sparring right?

2)Just my advice, I don't have the know how or technical acumen of TM but shouldn't you pick your shots a bit more? You just went nuts for the first minute or so and wasted a ton of energy.

3) he throws straighter punches which was why he was getting to you. You actually threw the best punch I think I've ever seen you throw (I've only seen a few minutes of your career but still) about 2 minutes and 17 seconds in there, a pretty straight right hand but then you got wild again. I'd look at that right hand you threw and try to do that more often.

You were the guy in white shorts right? If not disregard all of this.

[kid_thunder]

yes i was in the white plus do u think i do better as a shouthpaw or my normal stance

What' up with the philly shell, Andrew?

Personally, I wouldn't read too much into whether or not you should convert to southpaw based on your experiences with a guy who openly admits he didn't know what to do against one.

Also, and I don't mean this disrespectfully, with a chin as dodgy as yours I think you would be well-served to focus on improving your currently non-existent defense. Otherwise, everyone you fight is going to keep countering your wild punches with straight shots, and you'll continued to get hurt and dropped in every fight you're in.

Good luck in your upcoming fight.

That's good advice.... When I think of the mentality of defense and learning it, I think of how Mayweather Jr was trained when he was young.. He was thrown in the ring very young with much bigger guys who probably hit pretty hard... And you can see he obviously worked incredibly hard to not get hit... He probably had huge guys who could take his head off (and were probably trying to), so he made sure number one he didn't let any of those punches connect......
Become like that... Work a round where you don't try to hit.. Get in there with someone sparring, and don't aim to hit them.. You can put your hand out like a jab to measure and stop them coming forward, but otherwise, just work to avoid everything they come at you with.. Be an expert at keeping that range.. Moving backwards when someone comes forwards.. Moving sideways when someone is coming forwards..
Become frustrating to your opponents...... Then working on that round after round, start to figure out ways of dropping a hand, or feinting so that you can draw a certain punch and dodge that... Become someone who at a flick of a switch, turn into someone who can't be hit.. Who can run around the ring all night and not have a punch touch you... Having that, even to catch your energy back, and then being able to come forward like you do and lay it on, it'll be great for you...
If you're defensive and can frustrate an opponent with how to connect on you, you'll get more gaps opening up for you to attack...

I think adding that dimension would be a good thing for you...

Yeah. I thought I was settling in to watch a sparring video...

...and I thought Hatton was punchy.

Kid T, you're never going to make a career out of the fight game. Set yourself some short term goals and "retire."

You can train and learn to defend yourself, but to label yourelf a professional is a disgrace to your name.

[Salty]

When someone is stuck in the corner like that don't just treat them as a fucking heavy bag. Give enough space between you and them some you can create leverage on your shots, jab at them till they give you an opening. Split his guard with an uppercut, double up on one side. If he was decent at all he could have timed you easily and countered with a left hook right on your chin.

But man you need to work on the basics, fuck going southpaw, learn how to fight orthodox first. Get the footwork and straight punches down. Your jab had no snap to it. Keep you elbows in and twist your torso into the punch.
