Sounds good. I'm barely average - if that - at the sport of boxing, but here goes...
You've got your hands up covering most of your face to cover against or parry head shots, chin tucked (very important) - if you leave your chin out you're welcoming it to get nailed, knees are slightly bent so you can explode off of them to initiate power in your punch and move relatively easily (footwork can make or break a boxer); elbows should be close to the body so you can protect your kidneys/ribs but not necessarily together.
Feet should be a little wider than shoulder width, mostly on the balls of your feet but feet should never be parallel to each other and on the same line otherwise you could get knocked off balance easily.
