He is guy who went from being a kid to a grown ass man.
When is the next fight?
Probably 2 months or so will be fight time, gotta look at tournament dates and locations
Looks a lot better than the bagwork vid, when you're shadowboxing you can really get into a good flow.
Your speed is so crazy dude. I know you've probably heard that a thousand times before (from me to), but it's the truth. Just don't fall in love with it, if you know what I mean. Oddly enough being gifted in certain areas can hold you back sometimes. Your rapid hooks btw is very RJJ esque, you don't often see guys able to do that.
It's cool to see how your style has changed over the last few years. From potshotting and countering to leading with high volume and being aggressive. How is it working out for you? Nice to see you attempt some more headmovement and your footwork looks pretty slick/fast when you make an effort and cut the angles. Previously it has seemed like you sometimes don't have your feet or base under you a little bit, and you could get out of balance going for the power shots, but it's not as noticeable here. You prefer to be in the center of the ring right? Maybe try being a little more deliberate with your footwork and slow it down when you practice walking someone down either way. Like taking angles on someone while moving forward too. With your talents I think being a little more methodical and working on the basics of your positioning, stance, base, headmovement, footwork and setups will give you the most. You have the pull counter down and your left hook is nasty.
Chin is a little high with your posture being hunched a little. I mean, different body types and all, but tuck that sucker down.
Hard to critique overall, we need some next level guys to do that.
Thank you, it is working great for me, giving guys that look can freeze them up so they don't even want to do anything anymore, just run around and survive. My style has changed a ton because of the complaints of not letting my hands go, a realization of my talent that I felt I needed to "abuse" more, and of course annoyance and anger over the roadblocks the past few years. I no longer wanted to just win & look pretty doing it with boxing skills, I wanted to get in there and cause damage, get guys out of there. Doing that I began neglecting my defense, so now I'm back on trying to box behind the jab and keep my defense sharp with my intentions being to cause hell for my opponent.
if I can keep my activity up to over 100 punches a round, it will be very difficult to survive yet alone win rounds. Only way to do that is to train that.
I notice the same thing with my chin, it's very uncomfortable for me to put it any lower but I'm gonna work on tucking it more esp when letting combinations go, cuz if they are in combination range then I am also in combination range and don't want to get caught and dropped or something.
My speed is something that stemed from a deep delusional belief within myself that I was blessed with something others are not (before I ever boxed). I for some reason believed I was destined to be a great boxer and that I had the fastest hands in the world. I used to punch water bottles in class rooms and slap box my friends trying to do it as fast as I could. My dad boxed amateur and has been a long time fan of the sport, I used to always tell him I was a natural, I'm god gifted like Floyd, take me to the gym I'll make us millions (my mom would never let me box). My dad would always tell me "if you went to the boxing gym "mr natural" a girl who has been training will whoop ur ass with that kind of technique" (id be shadowboxing a lot imitating the shoulder roll, horribly I imagine). Once Floyd Sr., worked with me a bit, it was like a dream come true. My delusions were real for that moment "He's a natural!! this boys a natural! he as quick as lil Floyd!", changed my life. I strongly believe it is because I believed I was quick, that I'm quick.
The most ridiculous thing someone has ever said to me though, was when I got done sparring/training for the day, there was this old boxing head who was in the gym who I didn't recognize. Must have been a tourist visiting the MBC. He walked up to me afterward and said "you need to throw your hook a lot more, I mean a LOT more. You have the smoothest left hook I've seen since Sugar Ray Robinson. I'm serious since Sugar Ray Robinson!" the statement was ridiculous it was hard to even take the compliment lol, sugar ray Robinson? I was a kid with almost no experience, a name like that can't even be reasonably measured against me to the slightest degree. If my dreams come true and I do make it big in boxing, maybe that guy will watch the tv as some announcer says something special about the hook and he'll be like "I told that guy 10 years ago!! I knew it!!" Lmao, who knows.
If the name sugar ray Robinson ever gets thrown in the same sentence as mine in a good light, from an actual boxing commentator, you could just kill me then. I'd be ready to go after that lol, no more I'd need to accomplish.
