is conditioning really that important??

[Sam Donald]

if you are able to do all the gym work + sparring at a solid pace

without having to do your runs and ground work...

does it really matter??

can a fighter just put in their gym work, bag,pads, shadowboxing, skipping etc

[The Gambler1981]

Sure they could do that if they don't care about being successful~

Fighting in a ring against someone trying to hurt you is more tiring than just working out, so you need to get your conditioning up in every possible way so you go hard as long as possible. Skimping on any part will effect that, in shorter fights it might not come into play but as the distance goes up conditioning and preparation really become key.

Plus there is the whole fact of knowing what you are capable of so you can try and fight at the best pace so you don't gas out, but even then you should try and train well beyond that level because what if your opponent pushes a faster pace.

shorter fights as in amateur fights??

No offense man, but thats a dumb question lol.

Yea, then 4 rounders for novice pros, then 6 rounders then 8 you might even be able to get away with lax conditioning.

10 and 12 round fights are very conditioning dependent though, not only because of length but you would be fighting better guys, fighting someone better for longer is much more taxing physically.

So if you are real serious about the sport you should take your condition very seriously or it will lead you to bad habits that will be tough to break when you actually need it.
