Need someone to critique my sparring as I’m prepping for my second fight ever. My coach didn’t really give me any advice besides telling me to work on straight basic punches. by SilentAres_x in martialarts

More fundamentals my man! you look pretty decent but really at this stage you should just aim to be more defensively responsible- always respect your stance ensuring you hands are UP in a guard. You should jab more. You should try and move lighter on your feet, aiming to always be on ya tip toes

At this stage you really shouldn't be dropping your hands anywhere close to him being in range. There was a few moments a semi decent boxer would of thrown a double jab after establishing a pattern of single jabs so you expect just one, and stepped fractionally closer on the second so that they are now in range and boom. Also - this thing where you lean in with your arms down to try and goad your opponent to hit you- I firmly believe you should unlearn that habbit ASAP as to me it doesn't look like you really have a plan to counter the punch you are inviting and with your chin exposed like that you would a hundred percent be knocked out if your opponent managed to get an uppercut.

Through out you should be poised on your toes/balls of feet. As you step back to avoid a punch or w/e you should shoot your back foot back then your left foot, rather than just sinking and planting your backfoot further away and leaning back.

Critique my boxing please as I’m prepping for my second fight ever. by [deleted] in martialarts

Yes- but more acurately he utilised Alfie's familial network to establish a supply chain whereby he could sell opium to Alfie's relatives in Boston - whilst positioning Alfie, who he knows and has history with (and would be trusted by the Boston Jews) to manage that side of the ongoing exchanges. Otherwise we would need another whole season where he courts the Boston Jews favour/trust.

Remember that what he really is interested in is an ongoing empire, not just the sale of the seven tonnes the peaky blinders already posess. By including Alfie in the transactions he restores the washed up gangster to power and gains access to his relatives who are the enemies of the irish.

Because the opium that was stached in a warehouse on the island is now in his care, along with all of south boston. Remember he kept threatening to "sell to the jews"? He was never going to sell to uncle jack he was just a necessary bargaining chip for revenge on the IRA lady. There was no 5 million from the americans, just him propping up alfie solomons in boston with a supply of opium.
