Alright brehs so I reviewed the footage


First of all my opponent was trained way more than I have been

He had just been in two rougher fights earlier with bigger guys, weight classes were not respected

They tried to put me in there with someone 180 and I said “nahhhhhh”

Literally if I did not have the experience a few days prior with the heavyweight in sparring I may have not known to avoid this. When I was about 18 years old I had beat a 180 pounder but this was based in the opportunity of landing first. It’s come to my attention that a 150 pound man is not meant to fight a 200 pound man unless their skill level greatly exceeds their opponent, in which case each punch still comes with added risk that will accumulate through the fight

I reviewed the footage and I did some really good things defensively. He was shorter than me with a shorter reach,

I regularly changed levels, I used a jab to keep distance

In video game terms this guy clearly wanted to throw the L1 + O punch

I mitigated his aggression by using my longer arms to push off him when he threw. So I essentially check him when he threw limiting his power and range

He almost got me with a left hook to the chin that was so vicious and spot on looking that I literally went like “woooooooooooo”

I sensed a mild fear in him and used a showy sidewinding hook that I had no intention of landing but wanted to use it to keep him back, this looked embarrassing in the footage. I’m grateful none of my other punches looked like this

He took note of that and got me with the best punch of the round the second time I threw that. But I landed more punches and did more in more exchanges, he was plodding and trying to get a knockout punch

The thing is I learned my worst habits by engaging in uncoached sparring over this previous month. This includes throwing punches with sportsmanship intentions and even giving my partner something ti respond to hanging a punch out there (I noticed in sparring people actually didn’t respond to this and I didn’t know if it was their skill level or if I was offending them by making it so obvious)


So I may look to travel further to a better more serious gym

Coach is a professional fighter and he’s good, don’t get me wrong but I don’t wanna be at a gym where a majority of the people would consider Mayweather a p*ssy because they wanna use their head for crash dummy purposes

I literally saw coach getting rocked to the head over and over by a 12 year old and 12 year old was cracking hard, sweat was flying off coaches head

Yeah he’s good because he’s willing to move forward and take a lot of punches to get a few off and he will position he feet to the inside of bigger opponents to limit their strength

Will have footage soon it was the least exciting fight of the night but that’s because of my defensive strategy, in which case I dictated pace

I took one punch to the chin and punch to the back of the head

Sportsmanship was a higher level than you’d expect for a random Los Angeles “Fight Club” event

Respectfully, you need more seasoning stop doing this fight club shyt until you a lil more solid fundamentally.

Just offa this clip you would be insanely easy to time, you have a lot of ticks and bad habits Like I'm not trying hate if it comes off like that, just bein honest.

I respect yo heart though but IDK, this ur chin is just....there waiting to be snatched. you can't do the shyt u doing unless you have insane reactions, but maybe you do so

For the most part you’re right, I just didn’t feel like I was learning in sparring and the headgear detracted from my defense, which is built on anticipation rather than reaction

I reviewed footage of other fights and mine was by far the most boring and that was because I made opponent choose his shots, in other matchups they have a lot of rock em sock em robots going on, people getting knocked out cold and bloodied up

Really I need to work on a check hook

Well sparring isn't really for learning new shyt its for testing things you learned

Before you learn check hooks n flashier shyt like that you want to have the basics down cuz a check hook isn't gonna pop how it need to if you aint got crisp pivots n technique.

IDK how these fight clubs do matchmaking if you keep going try to avoid nikkas out for blood cuz it may not end well.


once again no hate, just honest.

I was able to be very selective during the matchmaking

but I recognize what you’re seeing, I feel it and because I haven’t been coached out of it there’s likely a learning lesson on the way my job is to minimize the damage of that lesson and maximize the learning from it. Roll with the punches. Of course this makes me cautious and hesitant offensively. Anytime you saw me throw a punch though it was to keep him from throwing a punch, he seemed to need to to into a full position, stance and movement that should’ve been telegraphed and if my skill level were higher I’d have readily countered him when he did it

I expect to learn through the dance of combat

 

[Deafheaven]

Actually I watched more of that vid,

honestly you may be fine a lot of them other nikkas look just as green as you are

This is some silly shyt, ya'll some crash dummies fr

Check out the Oxnard one, don’t know what they’re on up there but a lot of bloody faces and knockdowns

one thing I will say you should stop immediately is the shyt like all new people do which is how do I explain it.

you move one fist up the other down and alternate that. Its a TERRIBLE habit that has no purpose other than give a competent opp ur timing on a platter. If you have to be doing something with ur hands learn how to feint instead.

You’d not believe what’s going on in my head when I’m doing that, I practically expect it to hypnotize my opponent so that I can step out of the timing

Thank you tho breh, I appreciate you

I wanna be like Sugar Ray Leonard had a baby with Prince Naseem who also possesses Mayweather like anticipatory instinct

This is my template

I’d like to be on BoxingRec within the next 2 years, preferably sooner

My IG algorithm seems to know what I’m up to and seemingly wants to point me in the right direction

I keep getting recommendations like this



Super relevant, as this is exactly what I should’ve learned first, the maneuvers within the movements and the maneuvers within the response to common looks of an offensive combatant

I was pretty lucky with the opponent selected for me but take a look at these guys

The guy with the wife beater is moderately instinctively skilled, if you think of what he was up against he actually displayed great defense based on the damage he avoided

He was against an unskilled but highly aggressive opponent. Defending against this guy is going to be a workout in itself, exceptional conditioning would be needed. Then really to avoid that many punches? They probably don’t have much on them but still. I wonder how I’d have approached this, if my movement would’ve effectively evaded him or if I would be forced to stand in and exchange with him

I’d imagine a lot of pivots, and counters
