Thanks for sharing man. I have no experience in competing, so I won't be offended if you or the others tell me I'm wrong
three things I noticed. The first being your hands, which have already been mentioned
The second was no leg checks, something I have huge trouble with myself
The third being you had no follow-up to your leg kicks, which seemed to contribute to you always backing up. Your kick timing was pretty good but you always reset into moving defensively, so he was always coming forward and had more opportunity to land. But as Osu said, you did well not getting backed into a corner, and the legs kicks were effective in slowing him down (as it showed in the 2nd round).
Congrats on your first fight! and good luck for the next one!!

Thanks for the input. I had a plan to throw a Cross off of the leg kick but my focus was to keep standing.
Aside from the first leg kick, I did not see the others coming. The 1st kick twisted my right knee and caused me some trouble. I always check kicks in Sparring. I was not happy with that.
I was so focused on taking out his leg and having the fight stopped. When he was visibly injured by my kick and tryed to get away, the ref gave him a healing break which was confusing.

My Kru gets calls for Ring Matches that need a Fighter monthly. The weight class varies.
Or find an open event in your area. My fight was an open event that had registration online.

ya you stuck in there and showed heart, from my own boxing experience i seen the other guy at the start rushing in leaving alot of openings , its tough when the adrenaline is going but a bit of composure and you could sit on your punches and really land. good luck in the next

You looked like the faster striker so I would have established my jab early while staying out of his striking range. Remember to check those kicks as well. If your opponent is backing up use the tail end of your combos to catch him with kicks. Do not move straight back but angle out and answer right away and don't try and catch his low kicks with your hands or else he might go low to high and catch you with a high kick.

Also when he's coming forward you can either step back and punch using proper footwork and end your combos with knees or you can block or parry and counter with hard punches ending in low kicks or knees. You can clinch him as well as it is hard to get out of the clinch with head gear on and really use your hips to drive your knees to his body, thighs or hip bones.

Always remember to keep your hands up when you're kicking and take note if he's kicking with his hands down too so you can counter with your right hand. When you engage really bite down on your mouth piece and sit on your punches and combos. Don't throw wild punches but stay technical even if you're not punching 100%. Keep your shield really tight shielding your body and head leaving no openings. You can either use footwork to stay out of striking range while getting in and out or if you're confident enough you can stay in the pocket with your shield up and counter with hard combos.

EXCELLENT STUFF! I had a clinch plan but he was so much bigger than me that I scrapped it.
I feel the fight wouldve gone much differently had I not been rocked by that Cross I ran into right at the start.. Hardest hit Ive ever received. Round 1 is a blur. I remember walking into the ring,getting hit by it and then I waiting for Round 2.
I drilled counter jabs, crosses and leg kicks leading up to this. Leg kicks are what came through in my rocked state. You can see at the end when I can see clearly that I start countering.

Something I've started doing and plan on doing in my next fight is being more aggressive.
Be the bully. @tapemout

That was the plan! It came together at the end of Round 2. He didnt know what to do and I shouldve done it sooner.

Funny how all the training kinda turns into "white noise" when the Sh!t gets real, not to mention dealing with the adrenaline dump/fatigue huh? You're fight kinda reminded me of my "boxing debut". I stepped in for a guy who pulled out of an amateur bout at CruiserWeight, I was weighing in at about 175 and was in the crowd, figured what the HeII? I'm talking to the guy before the fight thinking he was somewhat inexperienced as well...not! He says " I fought Golden Gloves for three years"....uh oh, I'm thinking, just great, I'm gonna get embarrassed in front of a few thousand people, including many friends and college acquaintances. First rd went better than I expected, but I was so tired after, I told my corner man, I got one rd left (maybe)
Lucky for me, he came out to take me out with a big right hand to start the 2nd, which I ducked under, followed with a picture perfect uppercut/left hook/straight right combo and produced the only KO of the night. I thank my lucky stars and have much respect for anyone who steps in a cage/ring win or lose

You are my Hero.
Yes. The Adrenaline Dump hit me hard. I train to just keep going and going. I was f**ked after 3 minutes here...but I still had more gas than him.

Nah, I screamed "Yo Adrian, I did it!" Then fell to the floor completely exhausted. True story. Funniest part was all the random people who went to McNeese coming up to me the following day who saw the fight, my 5 seconds of fame...twitter wasn't yet a gleam in daddy's eye at that time
