[punchr]

A deficiency of mm news right now...ES seems to be focusing on bradley pac.

But marcos and floyd are working hard as we speak.. makes me wanna go hit the ole heavy bag and shadow box.. lol

Hitting the heavy bag is fun. Doesn't even feel like a workout for me. Also, speedbag.

Does shadow boxing actually work anything out?

Usually, . I hit the heavy bag for a solid 2 hours or so at varying tempos always full throttle toward the end. I believe in investing in alot of heavy bag work .. I wanna have a sledgehammer when I need it.

Since i dont have a round timer, i go by songs on the radio..heavy bag for 2 songs, shadow boxing for 1 song.... shadow boxing limbers you out a bit I feel and helps with rhythm and visualization..helps work on footwork, balance ect.

If I have time ill throw in a run, jumprope and speedbag in my circuit, but I usually dont. Wife..kids.. always asking a question or needing something every minute of the day..plus the kids broke my speedbag. Lol

Shadow boxing is good for working on your form, balance, and full extension of your punches, not to mention it's good cardio in itself.

"Ya hiciste soga? Ya hiciste sombra?"

The two things my trainer asks me if he sees me on a bag or in the ring.

If Maidana makes it past the 6th it'll be a total let down. Floyd should dispatch him in 3-4 rounds.

Prepare to be let down then. This fight is going the 12, if Maidana doesnt hit a home run.

Robert García has said that "we know it is going to be hard for us the first four or five rounds, but the fights are twelve rounds". This seems to say something about his plan. Intriguing.

You don't actually believe that.

[1] Wow, you have good cardio. Cardio is important in boxing. Look at what happened to Glen Tapia when he gassed out in the ring against James Kirkland.

[2] My uncle -- who got in many street fights in Los Angeles in the 80s and 90s -- told me the heavy bag makes you strong and hardens your hand.

[3] They rely on you.

[4] Dang, that sucks. I have one. But I currently live in an upstairs apartment, so I have no place to hook it up. They are really fun. Great physical outlet for tension, stress, and pressure from life.

Your trainer wants to make sure you have conditioning. You don't want to gas out quickly like Butterbean or some bulky MMA fighters.
