Bump this thread after Sergey catches body #2. Smh

You're supposed to meet them. I don't know what you think the mitts are for but it's not target practice. It’s become en vogue because it “looks really cool, see how fast he is” on video ... but practice/workout is to prepare a fighter to fight. Exactly what does having the target coming at the glove prepare one for? Explain to me what you think it’s for? It’s to teach combination punching, and that includes extending to full snap. Do some people do it that way? Sure. Now tell me what the bendy hands thing in this video is all about while you’re at it.

I said this years ago lol. So weird https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=758922

Or you could just hold them in range ... You're supposed to meet them. I don't know what you think the mitts are for but it's not target practice.

You move the mitt into the punch so the boxer doesn't hyperextend chasing the pad. Or you could just hold them in range ...

So you're a Cajun? They are a fascinating peopIe, and I love Cajun music. I used to play percussion in a Cajon band here in the UK. And here's a coincidence, because Cajon music is basically a fusion of Scottish dance tunes - jigs and reels - and African American blues, with lyrics sung in French. There were many Scots who migrated and settled on the East coast of Canada. and they took their music with them, which turn, was taken up by their French neighbours. After the Cajuns were kicked out of Canada and ended up in the swamps of Southern USA - how fckn crazy was that! - their music became a lot more "bluesy" but it still has a unique sound and flavour all of its own. Everything comes full circle. which will be evident when Prograis beats Taylor :rofl:

I love history like that. I always thought Great Britain and England were names that could be swapped out. I knew UK was the four though. My background is mainly Acadian. Also a country that no longer exists. Acadia was the east coast of Canada and parts of New England (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Maine, New Hampshire etc.)and when the British came the acadians were banished to the swamps which became New Orleans, and the term “Acadian” turned into “Cajun” Prograis is the only notable Acadian/Cajun fighter I can think of, though he’s pretty small for an Acadian.

Watching that reminded me of the Emanuel Taylor mitt work for the Broner fight. Lol .. his trainer dances just like Broner. He left out the butt humping from the clinch move doe!

A lot of Brits get confused about that too. they think "Great Britain" is an alternative name for the UK, but that's not so. "Great Britain" is actually the geographical name of the island containing England, Scotland, and Wales. It was named "Great Britain" by the ancient Greek geographers because it is the largest of the British Isles. The United Kingdom is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. A bit of interesting history .. before the Roman invasion, the north of England was a Celtic kingdom called Brigantia, and the tribe who lived there were the Brigants or Brigands. After the invasion, many of the Brigands moved further north and joined with Scottish tribes in raiding and harassing the Romans. Eventually, the Romans built Hadrian's Wall to try and keep these raiders out of their territory, and to this day, the term, "brigand" is still used to describe outlaws and bandits.

I can’t keep track of what’s England, what’s great britian and what’s the United Kingdom I guess lol. And I guess we’re at odds on this one too. A lot of Brits get confused about that too.

I'm talking about the mitt work in the video. If the guy has some other oddball stuff going on, I'm not keeping track of it. I know what you’re saying. What I meant is that over the last week we’ve been seeing all types of oddball **** from the Yarde camp if this was an isolated incident than people (me at least) wouldn’t care.

Might have to do with the fact that his manager is also his trainer and he has also said there will be 0 sparring before the Kov fight. One strange training technique and nobody thinks anything, but when you only had 10 amateur fights, never fought a full time professional boxer and everything about your camp is looking weird and off than it’s going to raise eyebrows.

Not sure why everyone is so confused. He's working timing and hand/eye. Guess what, hitting the speed bag isn't real punching either. :D As to whether the time he invests in this fruity looking shyt is worth it remains to be seen. But, if he's adding it to a complete regime, I don't see the harm.

They say Nigel Benn stopped sparring and used a jackhammer instead. Benn was never big on sparring anyway was he as he didnt want to leave anything in the gym but he had some great sparring sessions in his time especially when he trained over in america also he shared the ring with duran

I saw some other video of a guy literally attacking him with the mitts, trying to hit him. Edit...sorry,can’t embed. In the back half of the video, the guy is going pretty hard at him lol. https://youtu.be/kjLcVgM9Vbs This actually might be the one I saw before...same routine it looks like. https://youtu.be/PEq5j03k5qI
