Aldo on Speed Bag = Bum

[elfag]

i thought mma fighters were judged on their performance and record in the octagon, not on a speed bag. who cares.

Why aren't boxing fans welcoming or commending Aldo with this work. Dude is trying ffs

Please explain why the speed bag is a finer part of boxing.

It's a staple of bix8ng trian8gn ,mad helps you a **** ton in punching endurance, rhythm, breathing pace, foot movement while punching, the ability to change pace through the course of a round of fighting, etc.

Also helps build speed, and you should use it when your arms are already tired to build up that shoulder and arm stamina. Also, you can always tell which boxers don't put in the time int he speed bag when they have their hands down by the 4th and 5th rounds and on.

It's an invlauable tool for boxing training. And the double end bag, even more so. Works in hoe fluid you throw combos, and the timing. Timing is the most important apsetc of boxing, imo, and without these 2 excersises, you're just not reaching you potentail as far as boxing.

What, you think Floyd does those workouts for show? It's the years and years and years of doing those excersises that's built him that muscle memory of his timing, rhythym, all that stuff you need to be great.

Aldo is an awesome jujitsu and MMA fighter. Who cares if he's not good on the speed bag, it's not his forte - kind of harsh to mock someone like that.

He's never specialised in boxing before. It's literally his 2nd week of training boxing. Leave him alone, he's improving.
