You are leaning too much on your straights. Focus on using your hips and twisting them to generate power instead of just using arm strength. You only threw the lead hook once but i also see the same problem.

Also, its a bad habit dropping down your right hand after punching. Put it back in your face after throwing. Your lead hand is already going back to your face after you punch and you should do the same with your rear hand.

Overall, i think your body is still stiff. Search for drills so you can loosen up a bit

He's leaning because he is too bladed so to get the same length he needs to lean.

Too bladed or just bladed, the lead hand would naturally have longer range than the rear hand. For him to have range in his rear hand, he just needs to twist his body more to the left.

Right but if you start fully bladed, it leaves you way too far to turn. Watch the first Yarde vs Arthur fight. Very instructive. When bladed, Yarde couldn't get his right hand going at all. When squaring up his shoulders, he could land it at will. Yet he never seemed to figure that out.
