Joe Frazier's son hitting the pads...with "Coach" Rick

Yep. Cus always emphasized moving your head, and he made sure Tyson practiced that just as much as his killer combinations.

There was a video of Peter Quillin doing the mitts yesterday. It was all offense, he didn't work on his defense at all. Might as well use the heavy bag if you're going to do that. That's the benefit I see to the Mayweather style padwork. It gets the fighters used to both defending and countering. indeed...indeed....theres footage of young tyson doing his peekaboo defense slipping punches while hitting the pads, offense and defense

I have to say still dont understand very well may's pad work. Ok, it's all about reflexes and cordination, but more of a show than anything imo. Why do ppl hold pads like that . I feel like they both practice this routine . Show ? I think the main goal is to rapidly switch from offense to defense.

i know coach rick a bit. he's a nice guy. i'm really not a fan of padwork in the floyd mayweather tradition. nobody is floyd mayweather... i dont think they get nearly as much from that sort of padwork as he does. especially for a novice (which this kid is,) the pads should be held much more traditionally.

so Solis is training for Adamek :haha::haha::haha: Solis would whoop Adamek on neutral ground by the way.

hes a big boy aint he,he needs to hit the sauna

Here some intresting information about Derrek and his first fight, trainings. "So for the last 13 weeks, he has fought his way into shape. Frazier managed to drop nearly 50 pounds, with the help of gym owner and boxing coach Freddy Anthony Rodriguez and coach Rick Coward of Philadelphia."

I think he needs to shift a bit of weight before doing anything else! Good work on the pads though, only really tells us he's got good reactions / co-ordination which you expect from from a youngster.
