Very nice. Excellent clinch and knees, especially in Round 3 -- they completely demoralized your opponent and took the fight out of him. And that was a beautiful dump in Round 2.

At :50 of the third video, was the referee warning you not to hit the back of the head? If so, I understand... but he should have also warned the other guy not to turn his back and run away from you.

Congratulations on a great fight, and thanks for posting the video.

Impressive showing, you looked very composed and relaxed and controlled the pace of the fight well :)

My critiques: You spend a little too much time waiting to make your move. Try to keep more constant pressure on your opponent, probing with jabs and push kicks and working your way in to set up those big shots. For the most part you seem to be looking to land that big right hand or that big kick rather than setting them up with shots and aggressive maneuvering.

Also, you're not being terribly mindful of where you and your opponent are in the ring rather than strategically maneuvering to get him to move where you want him (as an aggressive forward fighter, trapping him against the ropes and in the corners should be your strategy). Also, when you're in the clinch, you want to try to be turning your opponent so they're on the ropes and not you.

Otherwise, very very nice clinch technique and kicks. Congrats on another win :)

Excellent fight mate. By round three your oppo looked like he wanted to be anywhere but in the ring with you! I dunno if he gassed or your knee/clinch hurt him, but by the end of the round he couldn't keep his guard up.

I like what KidSpatula says (I'm I'm no expert), more aggression with jabs and teeps to keep him off guard; he'll open up for that big right hand or kick.

Very nice and well done on another win!!

Good fight, but dont forget about your footwork, no footwork no balance

I know the olympic taekwondo is with protection for the chest and helmet, but these guys seem to be doing full-contact without that. More like the muay thai, but without elbows/knees? taekwondo fight. I want tos ee more of this if anyone knows what it's from.

Seconded. Don't walk yourself into the corner.

Great job!
