I think your speed is phenomenal. That being said, I think a solid muay thai or even karate - style striker would be your kryptonite!

What technique flaw do you see that would make you thinks this?

RIPPER

ok a few things - 1st - a good Muay Thai striker is going to slow you way down with leg kicks. When I watch you, I can't stop staring at your lead leg. To me, (being a muay thai striker) it looks like a nice target the way you leave it out there. 2nd - A guy with your handspeed can find himself in a Muay Thai clinch pretty often. It's the way we slow you down and finish.

3rd - A karate style fighter is going to let you chase him, then counter in most cases.

All that being said, you are very talented. Hows your ground game?

Why are you pausing between punches on the heavy bag? Let it go. The left hook is way too tight.

RIPPER

also you like to lead with a hook - that = getting KTFO - and when you throw that hook you drop your shoulder first which leaves you open to an overhand right - when you bring it back - you hold it low which again, leaves you wide open.

First off thank you for the great replies gives me stuff I can def. work on, couple questions? What are you meaning when you say the hook is too tight? Also what is a good way to help eliminate the possibility of getting caught up in the clinch. As far as my ground game I'm a mid-high level blue belt hopefully test for purple around Nov-Dec

I would recommend you go see a muay thai instructor for a session or two....they can teach you clinch grappling, defense, and clinch striking which is always something good to have in your arsenal!
