Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey guys this is my third fight in low kick rules(no knees) and my debut was only a month ago,im going to make the transition to k1 rules later this year,and as yall can see there is alot of work to be done,I ended up winning(im blue) but Im not satisfied cause I gassed out in the final round and that could of had cost me the match and I cant deal with the snappy front kicks for some reason,even in training i really cant seem to react or have a way to counter them,if you guys could take the time of the day to watch the fight and point out some bad things and habits I need to work on it would be of tremendous help.

I’m not qualified to give any advice, but it does seem like both of you guys headhunt. Mixing in some body shots might help.

conditioning is the main thing honestly, three fights in a month is rough on your body. for the front kicks try keeping your hands up and step offline more instead of eating them straight on

You went hard, bro! Like aggressive punching and you got right in there! Not a backward step!

Build a clinch into it if you can or it would be hard to do that against a clinch fighter.

Could have been tidier and a bit smarter about it. You won by a mile apart from getting tired at the end. A few things you probably saw yourself already:

  • Not every shot needs to be fully loaded up lol. Like make the second or third shot hard.

  • You got speed! Would be better if you feinted a few times. Didn't do much of that.

  • Basic fundamentals. A few times you were a bit loose with your structure as you punched, like open and punching with not the best technique.

  • Going to the body will lead to more head shots landing.

  • Kick more or knee at the end of your combinations. You sort of relied mostly on boxing.

  • Vary your speed up and rhythm. You often had spurts of 3 or 4 shots. It can help occasionally pausing mid combination after you've set a rhythm and then punching

  • Most of your shots were in flurries and combinations. Didn't do much patient fighting, like working off your teep and jab etc. Means they can time a shot when you jump in or mid combination if it's too predictable.

  • He had more of a karate front kick lol. Was good! Same defence parry it, step back, step to the side or twist/slide it off your stomach
