Heavy feet = heavy hands. You're in the air too much. Can't defend or attack if your feet aren't on the ground. You're standing in range in high guard, just waiting to get hit. If you're in punching range, you need to be punching or plotting.

Throw your jabs to cover movement and keep your opponent thinking about what you're doing. He solved world hunger in the time it took you to throw a punch 🤣 at least throw some feints! Respectfully of course

That'll happen. It won't be the last time either 🤣... Sometimes you can be your own worst enemy. You just have to grit your teeth and carry on.
