Why Don't More Fighters Train in Kenya?

[2501]

Training at altitude sure seems to help fighters like JMM fight hard for 12 rounds.

i cant name more than 5 boxers who can fight 12 rounds like he can.

pacquiao, izzy vazquez, rafa marquez, joan guzman................

This is a great thread/Question, I do think more boxers can benefit from training in a high altitude environment like Kenya, It would help especially when you're back in a less high altitude environment and going 12 rounds wouldnt be a problem for you.

That begs the question Why arent more boxers(Good ones) from Kenya?

because they're all runners. the article i read said the super sports freaks who like to compete from there mostly run because they have such a ridiculous advantage due to their altitude and aside from that having grown up there. so imagine a fighter who went to kenya to train fighting a fighter born there of equal skill. there'd still be a staggering difference.

It would make a world of difference in boxing terms, If i was from Kenya instead of being a Runner like all of them i would rather pick up a gloves and box, I would do something different like that...Then i would go to Europe or America and fight the fighters in there Hometown.

same here mi amigo. i wish i didn't get into boxing so late in life. i would throw hands with just about anyone but i couldn't just settle for being in the amateurs to be honest. i'd wanna fully commit myself to it and make my living that way. coulda shoulda woulda. lol.

i went up, not even very high in elevation, and i got tired running in a circle around a tree.. its true the difference it makes

i know let he who is with out sin shall cast the first stone,but i find it ironic that you're a god fearing person and defend "money may"as much as you do.

Im sure there are some super mountainous countries in South America.

Like Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru.
