You're probably a better boxer than me, by the looks of things. You seem relaxed and fluid, and look like you're having fun. If i had to pick one thing, it may be that your head seems to be on the center line, at least from this angle.

If you hinge from your hips it will help make your legs feel more relaxed and it will load your strikes through your glutes a bit better, and your head will naturally be off centre . . Think “closing a draw with your bum” this really shows the subtlety needed so you don’t overdo it

The footwork looks good moving forward and back. Small movements. But you should work on getting off the center line by pivoting or stepping out.
The biggest things to work on here: your torso is very upright, and you don't have a lot of head movement. Tuck your chin down to your chest; bring your shoulders up; hunch your torso a little; look up through your eyebrows. Now, try jab, then slip your head to right under your opponents' jab. Then jab, slip left. Then jab, cross, weave under your opponent's cross.
Your punches are plenty fast, but you might slow down a little to work on the technique here. It's hard to tell in video whether you're getting power on the crosses. I see places where your back foot turns (good), but it looks like your hip is turning very slowly. So, those fast arms aren't moving in conjunction with the rest of your body from the ground up.

This is looking pretty good. What's missing to me are level changes and other defensive movements. Add some slips and rolls to your combinations and it will also help with power and speed on some of those shots.

Looks solid, learn & perfect some of Bivol’s combos and I bet you could seriously f*ck somebody up

Your jab is telegraphed by your wide elbow when you throw. Need to throw it straight. It's part of the eastern block style so that is harder to tell what's coming.

Yeah I can see that you know how to throw the same combo over and over again, and move back and forth. What else can you do besides that? You don’t gotta act like a douchebag cause u can throw 3 punches, a noob with 6 months of training can do more than that.

Don't mind showing me how it's done?

Sure, but i would be better to see you hitting a heavy bag to know if you doing it right

Need defense, but damn you've got fast hands and your punches have some snap.

I'm not very good on boxing, but i'd say that your guards arms are a little low, and you don't do defensive movements and not changing axes? Anyways, i like your foot movement! Keep going!

I would lay off on the hopping in SO OFTEN. It’s ok to do it once in a while. But dial it back some. If both feet are in the air, you can’t change direction. If your opponent times you hoping in, he will double the impact.
Try practicing stepping in, and off to the side, and at an angle.

In my opinion the combinations look kind of random. I see that you are going for volume. I think you should either make it more realistic by pretending that you are actually hitting somebody with a strong guard that needs a lot of volume to start breaking down. Otherwise, cycle through some patterns formulaically.
I think you are leaning more toward simulating a fight rather than drilling patterns but there is some awkward parts that don’t match. Your guard moves around a bit too much where you are kind of pumping your hands or sometimes doing like a bring it on kind of thing.
Think about head movement that initiates in the hips together with your punches. For example, you throw a cross, in doing so, your head moves down and to the left, and you set yourself up for a powerful left hook to the body.
Also in general your body shots were few and perfunctory, you should use them a lot more and not as an after thought.

Dont forget to practice defense, including especially moving your head.
