[thanhalam1793]

An accomplice of Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman was recently arrested in the home of former three-division world champion Fernando Montiel.

According to a report by Boxingscene, the former WBO flyweight and super flyweight champion and WBC bantamweight champion was in shock when marines entered his home in the town of Los Mochis in Sinaloa between 4:00 and 5:00 in the morning on Friday to nab the unidentified suspect.

The report adds that Montiel had heard gunshots fired around the time, prompting him to gather his kids and bring them to his bedroom. The marines then found the man in one of the rooms. The suspect was believed to be escaping the authorities when he broke into Montiel's home and deactivated the house's alarm system.

For his part, the 36-year old-boxer is merely thankful that no harm was inflicted upon him or his family.

"I can only say that God does exist and He was with me at this time," Montiel said through a Twitter post, according to the Boxing Scene report. "Thanks be to God for what I survived this morning."

Montiel was also greatly dumbfounded by the manner of which the man entered his home without him knowing, and has told authorities that he did not know of the man's identity, nor was he aware that the purpose of the said military operation was to recapture El Chapo.

The report adds that Mexican law enforcement authorities have been on the hunt for El Chapo and his men, and that they were also holding another operation in another home nearby. The said operation left five of El Chapo's men dead, while another five were also arrested, aside from the man they arrested in Montiel's home.

On the government's side, one marine was wounded.

The report also notes that after the military operation was over, the arrested suspects were then taken to the Los Mochis airport, where they were flown back to Mexico City.

Boxing Science: Three ways to improve movement and mobility

THERE is a huge emphasis on strength, speed and fitness when structuring a physical training plan for a boxer.

However, a Boxer is required to have fast hands, footwork, co-ordination, balance and great lateral movement. This means that a boxer needs good movement, mobility and flow to use the right muscles at the right time.

Movement and mobility training helps reduce muscular imbalances, this helps reduce likelihood of injury. This doesn’t often get boxers excited… but what about if we told you it will improve your punching force?

Move Better, Jab Harder

In boxing, it is commonly said that the most effective tool for a fighter. It definitely is the most used, so wouldn’t every boxer want to develop a killer jab?

Champions such as Wladimir Klitschko and Kell Brook are well known to master the art of the jab, but how can mobility help?

Following our 10 week training cluster, our experts found a 11% increase in estimated P4P punch force for the left punch, used as a jab for our orthodox fighters.

This resulted in a 16% reduction in punch imbalance. In a separate comparison, a professional boxer showed a massive 32% reduction between left and right punches.

Impact

Our boxers become more balanced and throwing bigger punches with both hands.

The jab is the most often used punch in boxing.

The jab is thrown at a higher speed than a backhand shot. Although hand speed is the biggest contributor to punch force, the jab is found to produce less punching force than the back hand.

This is due to less rotation of the body, therefore less contribution from hip and torso rotation.

The Imbalanced Boxer

Due to this altered movement pattern being repeated thousands of times a week, a boxer can suffer from mobility and strength imbalances.

A functional movement screen (FMS) of 10 amateur boxers showed tighter left hips and shoulders than their right hand side.

Balancing the boxer

In the summer of 2014, Combat Conditioning delivered a movement clinic at Sheffield City ABC. Following 8 weeks of movement training, mean overall FMS scores increased by 9%. Standout improvements were seen in overhead squat (2.1 vs 2.6 out of 3) left shoulder mobility (1.62 vs 2.8 out of 3) (pre vs post).

How can I move better?

There are a number of ways we use to get a boxer moving better. Here we will be sharing three ways in how you can improve your movement and mobility.

The 10 greatest welterweights of all time

Tony Connolly, with his weekly column, this week asks Birmingham Mail boxing journalistic legend Mike Lockley to name the 10 greatest welterweights of all time
AS with the middleweights, the welters provide a unique blend of speed and ferocity and enough pop in their punches to provide those highlight reel knockouts we all love watching on YouTube.

Sitting pretty between the modern classes of super-welterweight and super-lightweight, these fighters weigh between 140lbs (10 stone) and 147lbs (10 stone 7lbs).

Henry Armstrong holds the record for the most consecutive title defenses in this division, with 19 defenses of the lineal title in, incredibly, less than three years as champion.

Exciting Puerto Rican banger Felix Trinidad successfully defended his crown at the weight a record 15 times in just over six and a half years at the top. But does this achievement prove worthy of a spot on the list?

How about Pernell Whitaker? The slick southpaw was a defensive genius and the division’s best during the mid-nineties. Roberto Duran dethroned Sugar Ray Leonard with a sensational performance in 1980. Does he feature?

Mickey Walker, Jimmy McLarnin, Kid Gavilan, Tommy Hearns, Don Curry, Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto… none of these make our illustrious 10. Read on to see who does…
