Answer
Well you are doing enough boxing type exercises but I do not see any real strength building or just basic exercises such as situps, pushups etc.  Without those in your regimen it is hard to keep up with the modern day fighter which has both the skill and strength plus endurance.  You know what your body can take but make sure you have rest to recuperate.

Thanks,

Joe
