Should the back foot be directly beneath the bottom? Feels very narrow stance-wise but certainly gives you added spring.

It depends on the stance, the lower you go the wider the stance. Normal to me, in line with the back shoulder, it gives more options with the legs and feet.

You look very good. Very athletic and sharp. I like your work on slipping because it builds your coordination even if it's not something you would use in a real fight. Sooner or later, you will need that skill--especially when your feet get tired or you're cornered.
Now if I had to be real critical and look at stuff that might cost you big in fights, here they are:
- the jab is too hard. relax it and let it come out with relaxed speed
- you need to pivot harder with your right foot when you pivot the right hand. by pivoting harder, i mean that the heel swings all the way over. this will add a ton of power. I'm sure you already know this but people get lazy with it over time.
- your right hands are still bending from the waist... instead, you should bend your front knee "dropping" your weight into the right hand punches. again, it adds wayyyyy more power
- DON'T drop your right hand when you throw the left hook. if your opponent is trading left hooks with you, you'll get dropped or KO'ed for sure
- more sharper, explosive breathing
Good points:
- awesome slipping. you keep your head down, and eyes on opponent the whole time.
- very relaxed snappy transition from punch to punch
- knees always bent
- very clean crisp combinations
- sharp punch retractions, no lazy arms
Not bad at all for 7 months.
All I'm going to say is that often when jabbing you seem to have a habbit of lifting your arm from the shoulder and then pushing from your elbow - rather than firing it out from the hip and letting the punch unwind down the pipe.
