Hello guys. Posted same video with shitty quality, found one with ok quality.

I lost, i am the one in blue helmet. Also, it waswas my first fight lol . Enjoy.

 
Very entertaining fight!

It was obvious you were nervous and tense, which is natural.

You have a lot of physical ability, and you are explosive, but you were being too overzealous and too predictable with your wild haymakers. Swung too much, without setting it up and that is also what gassed you pretty good. How do you spar normally? Set it up, slow it down. Another thing is that you were way too acknowledging of him, the crowd and your surroundings. Forget about them, who cares what they think. Focus on doing what you have to do.

Lesser opponents might have crumbled to the pressure, and you do have power, but he was pretty good and ate some shots and then continued to wear you down. He had some good spinning back kicks too.

Again, good fight and props to you for stepping in there! A loss doesn't mean anything, you came out of that ring a better and more experienced fighter! Learn from it, and it can actually be a blessing.

Thanks for posting!
 
Thank you for the feedback.

Yes, i gassed out in the last phase. I think because of lacking breathing control, also i was going full force every technique.

I dont know how to feel about this fight. I found myself using my physical habilities a lot not so much my technique.

I think the fight is entertainment but lacks visible technical inputs, from my part.

The other fighter, well, hes very experienced with a lot of fights. I think her technique display is very good. I chatted with him later, made a friend.

Thanks again for your feedback!
 
I madera a double post accidentally, but i have read your comment.

Yea, we were both good built physically i guess haha. This guy surprised me with his physique. I devote big time to set my nutrition and training, i didnt know that at amateur level, i can encounter this conditioning, but there are a lot of victory hungry fighters , which is very good.

He koed me with a spinning jumping kick to the plexus. I was checking for punches, didnt see that coming.

I appreciate your feedback!
 
You countered well out of your defense, though you winged a bit much.

It's apparent that you were getting very frustrated as he was tagging you in combination, and anytime he kept you at bay with a spinning kick. If you want to increase your mental endurance a bit, I'd recommend some boring, repetitive 3-minute drills. It'll help your technique, and fine-tune your focus. The goal is to engage the drill for the entire 3 minute round. Don't disconnect from the moment like you do at 3:35. If you need to "reset," do so in a responsible way: circle out, skip back with your hands out, "skip out," etc.

Overall, you need to embrace the "subtleties" of the game and have some patience. You can't rush a haymaker: it's risky, low-percentage, and wasteful with your energy. Spend some training time on more cost-effective strikes, and forget the idea of power punching for a few rounds a day. Get into probing "throwaway" punches to set up your big power, and try to observe a 3-to-1 rule where you set up with 3 probes before you're allowed to drop one haymaker. It'll help you train a more realistic approach to fighting at this level, and stop you from walking into shots unless your opponent really takes the time to set you up.

When you're being defensive, remember to use your whole body. That could mean moving your body to block or slip, or stepping out entirely. Around 0:33 you jab and then try to cover up, but your posture, hips, and shoulders don't change at all. Your head turtles and your guard comes up, but it's not very effective: you take your eyes off of the opponent, and give them a static target. That's what allowed him to line you up for the spinning back kick finish. Watch your static blocking position at 4:15; you gave him no variables to adjust to, which gave him time to take aim with a risky, high-reward technique.

Instead, you want to use small, energy-efficient movements that alter the position of your entire body, move your head offline, and take away certain attack angles. Moving your entire body is defensively sound, less tiring, and more threatening to your opponent, who assumes you're looking for an attack angle with the shift. At 0:35, you move out at a small angle with your guard up and the opponent IMMEDIATELY backs off. Because it comes right after a flawed defensive reaction, it makes for a good contrast between right and wrong - watch 0:33-0:35 a few times. It happens fast . Go forward to 0:38 to see another example of static "isolated" blocking you should avoid - isolated in the sense that you're only using your forearms, not your entire body.

I dont have a lot of feeback but damn that guy has a nice chin, you tagged him hard. You were focusing on single very hard shots, which may work if you are counter striking, but its not an ideal form of offense. Set up that mean left hook with some straight punches, also keep your chin down.

Maybe mix up some body shots, as you were headhunting a little too much.
