It's awesome that you don't have to wear head gear. I don't even use it in training, and being required to use it in Golden Gloves was the main reason I stopped. My hate for it is an entirely different story, though.
Also, what country do you live in? You definitely have the boxer "look". If not a boxer, my next guess would be the "German Soccer Player" look.
Very nice to see pictures of the moments before, during, and after the fight. I have very few pictures or videos of my fights. That's the down side of not having friends or family that are "camera happy".
Cong**** again.

Second round i scored some good points with my jab and right hand. Last round i was way better. My cpnditioning was much better, almost scored a knock down.
Great experience! Will post some pics tomorrow.

There's a guy called Jon Kabat-Zinn and I believe that he's a professor of medicine at MIT. He devised a programme of mindfulness-based stress reduction based on the Buddhist practice of mindfullness meditation. It's well worth a look.
Chade-Meng Tan has done a more accessible and less intensive book on the subject called 'Search Inside Yourself'. It's not new-age b*ll**** or wrapped in mysticism, it's just mental training.
If you practice it you'll develop a relaxed, concentrated focus. It will help you in the ring. . . and out.

Here's the video of my fight guys.
(skip to 6:30)
I noticed that I was pretty nervous and tensed during the fight. I need to 'snap' my punches more instead of throwing them wit full power. And I need to go to the body more often.
What do you guys think of my fight? Is my level ok for a first timer?

Very good! You had good composure and set a good pace. You used your jab to set up your punches well but you could have used it much more. The jab needs to improve its power also, the absence of head gear should enable the jab to be more effective. Your hook was good but again not much body work, against a shorter fighter your hook to the body is very important. It will make the shorter man stand up into other punches! Your opponent had good head movement so your body attack would have served you well!
Good win against a young man who was trying hard to win.
Get that jab moving faster and much harder (heavy bag work) and doubling it up!..........good work!
