Old school technique popular among asia especially on muay thai fighters Stick training to condition your nerves all over the body and to improve pain tolerance. Thats why he was able to absorb all the bodyshots margarito unleashed on his ribs and not go down.

that bamboo stick got tiny nails attached tried it once and it was very painful after you get smacked repeatedly.

I can't believe that guys that argue tooth and nail and talk mad shyt on here don't know what midsection conditioning is for. It's the same reason guys get a medicine ball bounced off their stomachs. To condition the fighter to getting hit in the midsection.
Doing it with wood is more of a martial arts influenced angle, but it does the same thing. Tapping the ribs like that hurts like a bytch but it does make the nerves less sensitive.

abs work out, to stiffen up the abs, stomach area to take more punishment during a fight, but i think he actually stopped doing that? or maybe hbo just stopped showing it? i know when ariza was with manny, he was still doing that.

just a thought but i feel manny could have been so much better or reach even higher levels if he had a good and smart team behind him. i think all of the "yes men" on his team knows nothing about boxing or training. if he would have more knowledgeable guys around him he would be so much better. its like if manny is not training at the wildcard, then he is completely out of whats going on in the boxing world. like the people around him doesnt follow boxing so they have no idea whos who and whats going on. they dont have any good insight to offer manny.
