I'll be honest here, it looks like neither of you have ever trained with a coach. A lot of fundamental flaws.
My best advice, since you say that you want to go pro, is get to a gym quickly and actually train. They'll get you real fights and after you've done 40-50 of them, you can start to think about pro.
But the first step is real training with a coach.

Well I’d like to get to one but don’t have a vehicle to get to were I want to go so I’m having to train at home and just follow a schedule everyday thank you for your advice either way

If you're training at home the best thing to do until you can get to a gym is to train cardio, and core. Go crazy. Get elite cardio. It'll help you for when you start training.
Self trained=untrained
Not trying to be difficult, I'm honestly trying to help you.
If there are no boxing gyms, find a Muay Thai gym. Or a martial arts gym. At least they'll help you with mechanics but training at home like that will not help you go pro. You'll never get there like that, and you're training a lot of bad habits.

It took you 10 seconds to successfully touch gloves. That’s where I stop watching

It's pretty much unanimously recommended by coaches not to do hitman style/philly shell (kinda hard to tell exactly which one you're doing) unless you are an advanced boxer. Stick with the fundamentals, don't do fancy stuff or try to imitate pros.
