Worry more about technique then style. I think u be trying to style too much. That'll come but means nothing until you got good basics down. I don't know your experience but you're gonna get creamed if you run into a good amatuer!

Seriously tho, look for the criticisms and consider their sources. If ya want people to tell u what is good about it, you're looking for the wrong thing. Pay attention to the negatives because fixing those are what is going to improve ya.

you right..but again that was me in jan 09..i changed up a bit....il try to put a recent video of me sparring soon..soo yall good help me out

Keep in mind, I'm not being mean, I'm just trying to help.

1. You didn't throw ONE JAB that entire round. You pawed your hand out as a measuring stick, but you never got behind your shoulder and fully extended the jab, even ONCE.

2. You are NOWHERE near fast enough to keep your hands that low. The guy you were sparring hit you cleanly way too many times that round, and he is NOT that fast.

3. You never truly boxed the guy. You caught him coming in a few times, but for the most part you just stood in front of him. You need to move in and out, then step to the side.

4. Stop waiting your turn. When your opponent finally began to throw punches, you didn't do anything. Just because he's punching doesn't mean you can't. Actually, punching your opponent is many times the best way to get him to stop punching you.

How long have you been boxing and how many fights do you have?

i been boxing for 3years on and off..i had 4amatuer fights..won all 4 of them ..won 2 of them (the last 2) by tko..all 4 times my opponents have been bigger then me .i weighted in at 136 all of them were around 145.....and the reason i dont have more amateur fights..is simply because of woman trouble lol..i was in love ..she broke my heart ..and u know how that goes.

Another thing..I keep tellin u all the video of me Sparring was in Jan 2009.....that was the first time i spared since oct 2008......im usually REALLY QUICK..and the moves i do, i can pull them off. (like putting my hands down)....if u look at my last amateur fight..i hardly got hit...not tryna b cocky but thats the truth.

[theprince12443]

and your 100% right about what u say about my jab..to be honest i Just establish my jab 2weeks ago,.....i never really had a good jab..but now im using it alot, and i improved on it,...JUST Recently .....

Personally what I liked most in the video was the trainer yelling. "JAB! JAB! COME On NOW!" The only thing I want to comment on is your footwork. The whole video I was thinking move out of the way. Stick & move man. Throw a 1-2 then step to the right. Throw a 1-2-3 step to the left. Always try to turn your opponent to keep them from getting settled. Other than that keep practicing since the video wasn't bad.
