Man, first of all congrats on the first fight. But honestly I think you were not ready.
There is a lot to work on.
I can comment only on your boxing, beside learning to check these low kicks. Dude was throwing lame low kicks they had to be checked and counter-attacked. Easiest counter - check lame low kick, answer with a combo starting with a left hook.
First your stance is too squared for someone that wants to punch, pay some real attention to your stance.
Second you have no defensive mechanisms build in, it is like every punch or kick they throw is going to land.
Get more down, bend these knees, work of that jab, work going to the sides with it.
Work on footwork = at least going back to escape attacks in order to reset and start your own.
I do not want to discourage, but I have never fought but if this guy fought me like this, my 80 kg body would pressure and overwhelm him, just by making him move around. I actually spar a guy often that has your build. He is trouble only when I decide to give him chance to work and go inside him (I go inside as to practice may inside game against heavier and stronger guy, practice that clinch and defence).
Now lastly you can improve drastically on the physical side. And no I do not mean the fat. No shame in being fat or a big man. I was once too. But you seem weak, unbalanced with a bad cardio and no conditioning on these shoulders and feet.
Best way to improve is to really add some strength training. Work on the heavy bag for shoulder conditioning. Do not skip road work and jump rope.
Looking from the bright side - you can only improve
just wanna say a few things, you said if this guy fought some one like you your 80kg body would overwhelm him well that would never happen as weight classes exist for a reason lol.
im not trying to bash but saying im not ready but also never stepping in there yourself is really weird lol.
i think my cardio deff has a lot to improve along with my boxing. i dint throw any kicks as he is a grappler/wrestler and did not want to be taken down and wanted to keep the fight standing.
i re watched a lot of times and i out landed him way more than he hit me...he hit me good 3-4 times while i hit him to the face and to the body alot more than he did besides the nice leg kicks he landed.
i realized i should have thrown way more combos and i need to work on fighting guys with longer reach as i continue to drop down weight. i had a fight scheduled for back in july that i weighted in at 361 on weight in and this one i weighed in at 346 so im working and losing weight. im getting there, but im gonna continue to train and work on my cardio, boxing, movement as much as i can and challenging myself and stepping in side the cage and getting better.
i think i should of have won the fight after watching the fight, i won round 1 and round 2 should of been mine imo, i threw more strikes and chased him down 90% of the round. while in round 3 i deff took it off and let him throw more volume and control me against the cage.
