I'm not sure if know, pad work is mainly used to develop speed and technique. The punching bag is specifically used to develop power. In other words a boxer doesn't hit the pads with 100% power.
Roach has said he has caught one on the chin from Mike Tyson while training him, Im guessing he can hold the pads for a guy that is 135 pounds.
So thats where Freddy got that twitch from
I've seen bigger punchers in the gym work on pads. If the trainer knows how to use the pads (when to move your hand and timing), there is rarely a problem.
if manny pacquiao wore 12 oz gloves would roach be able to hold the pads?
