I think you did a good job here. Two things I would like to add which can help are: (1) Situational awareness and making good use of your peripheral vision. The sooner you know something is up the quicker you can respond to it. (2) I recommend playing regular handball with the small hard ball on a four walled court with a ceiling. When you get good at playing this you need to move rapidly around and hit a fast moving small hard object with a hard controlled hit. So this helps with the practice of moving around fast, strengthens your hands, and helps with hand eye coordination for performing fast hard controlled strikes not just at a person's body, but their hands and feet, because punches and kicks do not move as fast as a handball does, so if you can smack a handball you can smack an incoming punch.
There is no stance. The point of a sucker punch is that it comes unanticipated. You may be walking, sitting, standing there looking at a football match, literally doing anything. This drill should be applicable in any of those scenarios. If you manage to avoid the first blow, you then have options like squaring up, running away, drawing a weapon, etc.
Incredible. Thank you for the video's

Love this! Natrual progression for once you understand blocking.
🤔💯👌🙏
Good moves ! Perhaps some suggestions on stance and foot work. To avoid weak balance?

Stance work does help but often with this type of punch you are not ready for it.
