well padwork is pretty valuable and important but if your coach has trained golden gloves winners and several pros then i'd trust him, its still a pretty good routine you got there, sparring hard is important

punching power comes from technique. Some of the hardest punchers in the world dont lift weights so no it will not decrease.

maybe hes too old to do padwork lol.. 6 rounds of sparring sounds good
