Khan deadlifting 4 plates, lookin to sit down on his shots more? Garcia gettin KTFO!!

Seriously?!.

I'm not a huge fan of lifting for Boxers, (as long as it's kept to a minimum)

But deadlifts is a compound lifting exercise that works the hams, quads and torso, I don't see how deadlifts wouldn't benefit in increasing power

Exercise such as squats and dead lifts are regarded as "Power lifting" They are pure Core exercises to build strength.

Its common sense bro...a guy who starts curling, and works his way up to curling 65lbs on each arm, will KO You with one punch...Curling will make u big, strong, and slow.....but THAT Plus, some boxing speed excercises, will even it out...ANYONE with common sense, knows Weight lifting, will increase every aspect of ur power...it will make u stronger at wrestling, manhandling, It will make u stronger at ANYTHING U do, involving your arms, esPECIALLY Punching...You sound like one of those old boxing guys, who say, "You punch with ur hip"...this is true, u punch with ur hip, but ur bicep is closer to ur fist than ur hip is....if u could curl 65lbs, you would KILL Someone if u hit them in their temple...Ortiz was NEVER a puncher as a kid in the ams....he started lifting crazy weight, as he got in the pros, thats why he had prollems making weight....cuz he was gaining muscle weight, and not increasing his power the right way, but he got strong as hell...all he does is lift, and do crazy athletical stuff

This is completely wrong on all points. Punching power has nothing to do with how much weight you can curl, bench, press or otherwise lift.

There are plenty of weightlifters who can lift massive amounts of weight who couldn't hurt you with a clean shot, and plenty of scrawny guys who couldn't lift their own bodyweight who can KO a rhinoceros.

there is no way he is deadlifighting that, sorry.

[Danny Gunz]

Anyone thinking that lifting heavy weights have anything to do with punching power really shouldn't write about boxing anymore.

Um what........?

[Danny Gunz]

dont really like the idea of a fighter like khan deadlifting. to me its pointless.

Deadlifting and pointless should never bee in the same sentence.

[JDezi4]

A deadlift strengthens the lower back... Power comes from the abs and core area, so he might be gain some power here, but than again... Look at Bradley

[UmissUpay]

deadlifting is for leg power for those who dont know sheyt

[-Antonio-]

I think power cleans would be a better workout. Focuses more on explosiveness. That and box jumps to me are more to condusive to boxing.

Dead lifts and lunges always killed my lower back. Just don't feel safe. Even with great technique.

[915angel]

khan UD safe bet

[paulf]

if you watch that interview freddie did to the build up of the peterson fight he said just that, no more bouncing around and wasting movement, more flat footed and sitting down on his shots.

Heh, what a surprise coming from Freddie!

All this nonsense from Khan following the Peterson fight has been highly obnoxious and I'm not sure I love or hate him, but I am more than happy to adopt him against Garcia; **** that guy, I hope Khan murders him.
