Not really. You reach a point of diminishing returns if you push it too much and your body plateaus. That's why all these successful workout programs switch it up every three or four weeks because of the body's muscle memory ability. You see and feel impressive gains for a few weeks and then you are no longer sore after workouts because your body has adapted to the movements.
The same thing happens with other muscle activities such as cardio. If you just run, then sure, you may lose some weight but your cardiovascular endurance doesn't really improve at all. When people want to see more gains with the same routines, they think that by pushing it to the max time and time again will somehow produce better results but all it does it break down the body because it doesn't have enough time to recover properly.
If you take a rest week after 3 or 4 weeks of pushing it really hard, you realize better results the first week back from the break because your body has fully recovered from all of the stress you have put it through. People who think that they will gain success by simply putting in more hours and training harder aren't doing themselves any favors. Sure they will see results but nothing like if they had taken a different approach by including variety and proper rest intervals.Comment

I can tell you haven't done any major work in your life, by work I mean labor. There's nothing "FUN" with countless hours of running, sparring and all kinds of body work, hours, days and weeks into the fight. There's a reason why boxers and/or athletes with great work ethic are commended and universally respected by people in any field.
It's never fun, as you boldly claim it to be.Working out is hard work and it takes motivation and drive to push through those lazy days to make it to the gym much less get the most out of a routine. I can't say that I don't skip out on days but there have been plenty of times where I got off of work and was dead tired from a 10 hour day but still managed to tear it up for an hour or so and felt great when I was done.
There are plenty of people who sadly, waste their time even going to the gym when they do go. I see people standing around afraid to even break a sweat like they are going to see change just because they are at the gym as if the gym itself will magically transform them because they have a membership. There are a lot of lazy people out there who don't understand or appreciate the value of hard work.

I think both guys are gonna train their butts off now, and possibly over train, then taper off a few weeks before the fight, then really chill the week prior to the fight.
Not worried about either fighter over training. They're professionals, and know their bodies enough.
I can't wait for May 2nd. As a fight fan, the only I am going to ask for is an exciting but fair and non-controversial fight. Let the best man win and let there be no excuses. No more cheap shots from fans from either side. Let their man give the final argument in the ring, where the debate should really be had. Hopefully, this is not too much to ask for in the sport of boxing?!?!...Comment

When you love what you do for a living, you never work a day in your life. It may be hard work, but trust me, they have fun. Otherwise they wouldn't have been professional boxers for as long as they have.I can tell you haven't done any major work in your life, by work I mean labor. There's nothing "FUN" with countless hours of running, sparring and all kinds of body work, hours, days and weeks into the fight.
