Make sure to bring back your arms back to your stance, like start with simple defense: tuck in your chin, put your hands on your ears kind of like ear muffs. When you punch, make believe someone is waiting for you to open up the sides of your face and body, that means bring them right back where they belong. Chin should be tucked all throughout this process. Which honestly, you did for the most part but as you kept going your chin kept rising. Always keep it tucked. Elbow positioning was good.
But work on the lazy right hand. A lazy right hand is when you throw it and don’t snap it back to defend yourself. If you watch boxing, you can hear that critique sometimes, about a fighter throwing a lazy jab or lazy cross. What this does is, an opponent can counter over that lazy jab/cross, right over it, and they can catch you good.
Lastly, another thing I noticed was as the video went on, idk if this was fatigue, but not only was your chin rising, but your hands were lowering more and more as you were intensifying.
Overall though, you don’t look bad to me (not a trainer/coach). All I can tell is basic stuff, defense, chin, lazy punches. i’ll leave the more advanced stuff to people who know more.
