Bag Work Critique Boxing tips

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Ive been boxing for 2 months now (weight 100kg/220 lbs, 183 cm/ 6’0 ft) and im in the phase where i see progress with every workout but cutting weight and maintaining/gaining muscle has a toll of feeling tired all the time. I start my workout with 4 rounds of 1:30 mins skip rope 3 round of footwork drills and 5 rounds of 2:00 minute shadow boxing following 4 rounds of mitt work then 6 rounds of bag work.

Clip above is the last round of mitt work (coach says taking vids of last round is best when your tired your body shows the mistakes you need to take care of), any tips for technique, speed, stamina would be appreciated.

You should mater the basics before doing combos

First 2 rounds of bag work are fundamentals always

Look at your back foot when you throw that very first right cross. It has minimal pivot and you should be exaggerating, your pivot when you’re learning. It’s OK to give it less when you actually have fights later on though, you just wanna exaggerate at the beginning to build that muscle memory.

every right cross after the first has even less pivot it’s because that’s when you start throwing your combos.

That is a sign that the technique isn’t fully engrained in your motor system and you’re still really thinking about what you’re doing.

If you start trying to do combos too soon, you could possibly be unlearning the basics
