My little bro is making a video for his high school media class and gave me some of the clips he had from my boxing training and bag work. video has some sparring in it too. Either way, thought I would share and take some constructive criticism! pad work, bag work, boxing drills, and sparring are all included in short clips

Good. I like to stand outside the pocket more. Roll your hips more when you kick. It may hurt a little at first, but that will cease in time.

I like the shoulder rolls, they are awesome to have. I'd recommend getting good with them.

Thanks! I like the shoulder rolls as well. I am not very effective using them in real sparring yet...... but you are right, I can see how they could be very important. Appreciate your advice.

If you wanna get good with it watch James Tony fight. He's the best with shoulder rolls. Oh, he's the man, by the way.

When you escape you always bring your feet together, if you fight MMA, someone will get a take down off of that.

I think you look pretty good. Good fluid combinations and decent kicks. I'd say two things I noticed. One, you drop your right hand when you throw jabs. I notice you are a tall rangy fighter and can probably feel safe throwing the jab but meet someone decent and they'll be looking for the lead hook or a high kick.
Second you have a slight tendency to lift your chin up and lean back from punches. Try to keep in more tucked in. Other than that pretty good.

Ssulivan, I think you would be served well by making your blocks and slips less dramatic. When you block to your head, you lift your arms really high, and that can leave you open to the body. Same thing with your head movement. You only have to make the guy miss by an inch, and staying in the pocket more will allow you to counter punch more effectively. Good stuff otherwise.
