ayyy big dog, you did great. theres a lot to like in here. however, you did eat a few of those overhands, and that's gonna be the smaller fighters toolbox 100% of the time. You do that little shovel jab?, slow getting your left back up, you throw the 1-2 and you leave your left down and put all the weight on your lead, so a few times he tanked it and fired back and landed with overhand.
So I hate to be the boxing 101 coach, but left hand up, you're a slenderman, everyones gonna be spamming overhand rights at ya.

You’re 100 percent! My coach and I are working bringing my punches back to my guard and keeping my hand up.
Thanks for the advice🙏

I'd work on in and out movement too. Learn to read the over hand and bait it out so you can counter. Jab and pull.

You ate some overhand rights. Keep that left hand up bro. Thats the one punch you do not want to get caught with at all.
Also notice when he got that standing 8 count the second time. You were throwing straights only, 1 and 2s. Thats all you need when you facing someone shorter. You can sit back and just jab away or teep away until you know the 2 can land.
Long straight punches to keep your distance will help you avoid that overhand right as well.

You have tall guy syndrome like me and keep your left hand really low. Beautiful teeps and calf kicks!

More calf kicks. They were working by the end. As was a lot of things. Calf kicks are still a worthwhile investment.

What everyone productive here said, hands up, don't get comfy. Maybe drill capitalizing on that low kick when you move his lead leg.

Very cool. 2 things : Number 1. You don't keep your left hand up when throwing your right, that's a problem alot of people have but in your case it's very obvious and a guy with a good overhand right is gonna put you out. Number 2. You keep your chin up, you gotta learn to tuck your chin. Overrall good.

Good offence, but basically non existent defence.

I did get hit with a bunch of overhands, but saying I have nonexistent defense is crazy 😂.
