First off all, congrats for the fight.
But sorry to say, for me he clearly won.
Seems to me, you had a hard time finding your range, both for offense and defense... The fact that he had a reach advantage was clearly a problem, but it shows also a lack of experience in that domain. Is normal...
You bounce a bit to much, making it hard some time to be in the optimum position for countering, or even just answering his strikes.
You let some good openings pass... Don't know if you dint see them, or again, if it was a question of bad positioning for a strike.
You forget to kick... For example a lot of good opportunities after a combo, to end it with a low, but usually dint...
(Like what you did at the end of the first round)
You have good defensive movement, getting away from the ropes/corner, but you lack offensive ones.
(3rd round, you get him in the clinch near the corner, and you turn him around back to the center !?)
You got to learn how to check those low... Bouncing out of them, may be easier, but you cant retaliate, been out of range. So for him it's a free strike. He either connects, or he makes you go away. If you don't like to check, do what Zambidis does. Step in the low while blasting a punch (forgive me MT gods for saying this)
Some times you don't choose the best strike available to you.
Your choice for that type of shorts, made you loose at least a round.
He was better than you just from the basics... More experienced, and with a reach advantage.
Sorry if I sound too negative, but It makes me feel good about myself to diminish someone, anonymously on a forum...
