So clearly I didn't embed the video right. Oops. Anyhow all, I'm the guy in the black t shirt. This is the last round of my last fight.

Wow, you drop your hands constantly, have zero takedown defence, and you don't seem to be capable of throwing a punch with any kind of effectiveness, that guy handled you. Still, props for jumping in the ring.

....I was nicer with my criticism. Anyway, how many other fights did you have and how did they go?

Odacon, do you compete? If not, shut the **** up. I know I wasn't on my game that day, but it's different once you step in the ring sometimes. Won't be next time, though. You're more than welcome to test my hands.

I appreciate your critisism, g-off. I'll train with your advice in mind. It'd been a couple of years since I fought and I am going to be training like a monster for my next one, in a couple of months. I'm usually known for my explosive aggressivess, and it was entirely absent in that fight. My technique went out the window. Good to get in there though.

Odacan - just to specify, I watched the video again, and you are right. I didn't throw one effective punch in it.

Budo, I mean it when I say props for getting in the ring, especially again a capable guy like that, but if you think I'm taking shots at you then you really have to wake up man. Everything I said was just observation, I'm hoping your coach picked up on it and you work on your faults rather than say it was because you were out for so many years or were tired or hurt etc. I lost my last fight because I sucked, not for any other reason. Next time hopefully I'll suck less, thats all I can hope and train for I guess.

I know, Odacan, sorry to be defensive. I really appreciate your observations. I'm gonna train hard and hammer out all the kinks with hard fought practice, keeping what you all said in mind. Hopefully with the right training, next time I too will suck less.
