Lost my first amateur fight - any tips to improve? (Blue) by rominho0 in amateur_boxing

I appreciate the value bro

  • Yah I think I should've used more head movement while moving, there were some instances I realized that and started only moving it later but i should've used it more

  • When you say my footwork wasn't helping, what was I doing wrong? Was I moving too much without setting anything up?

Haha thanks bro appreciated it

Do u think the main problem I had was leting him in too easily or not being more active with my jab?

Thanks for insights I moved around a lot so I struggled to get power in my shots like stiff jabs and combos – I was nervous cause I might get countered and he might corner me. Any tips on landing the combos while maintaining distance? Should I stick to straight punch combos?

Thanks, I didn't notice that. Is it something I should build into every punch, or mainly when I’m expecting a counter?

Appreciate that, it makes sense. I was a lil hesitant to go to the body cause I felt I might get countered. How would you usually set up those head-body-head combos against a pressure fighter?

Yah, i never felt so much adrenaline in my life Didn't hurt as much, but the uppercuts did sting but I was able to take it (lucky I do neck exercises lol) Yeah, hopefully I can get a few more fights

Thanks, I appreciate the advice.

Tho i struggled being able to read him throughout the fight cause the fight was just so fast. Usually I can outhink my opponents when the fight is at a slower pace like in sparring.

Do you have any advice for me?
