I have a great suggestion for you:

Find a boxing club in your town. Look for one that has good coaching. TRAIN. After even 5 months, you will be schooled enough to train on your own a lot, and won't develop bad habits.

You probably do what most amateurs do. Just before they let the right hand go, it drops a touch. Easy read. Also, snap the jab, and don't underestimate it's value. You can frustrate an opponent with a good jab, as he can never really get 'set' to attack.

Don't stand still
