Better stamina but worse fighting stamina?

[Pkety]

Title says it all. I have pretty good roadwork stamina as I can outrun and outlast all my buddies at the gym by far but for some reason they can last way longer in the ring. I know my technique isn’t too on point since I’ve been boxing for a solid month but does it matter that much? Excess movement or am I just taking too much punishment and it makes me more tired quicker?

Fight stamina is completely different. I've known guys who could run marathons but gas out in a min or two in boxing or jiu jitsu.

Do they have more experience in the ring? Or in the boxing gym in general?

It’s experience mate, it’ll be down to lack of ring generalship- knowing how to control the pace, tempo etc, which you can only improve through fighting, sparring etc. The more you box the more you’ll learn.

Without ever watching you it’s hard to give any specific advice but, try not to load up with every shot, A LOT of novice fighters do this early on and it will gas you pretty quick. Try to control any nervous energy too.

Yeah they’ve been boxing for like 5-15 years ^^^

try doing roadwork while changing from jogging to sprinting, you will see why your stamina is bad, as when you fight you are not controlling the speed nor going the same pace the entire time

[Real King Kong]

It's all about efficiency, technique, energy management, relaxation in the ring.

Watch veteran fighters, Floyd in late stages, Bernard Hopkins in late stages, or James Toney - and watch for little things They are doing, how They are not loading up unncessary, how They take a breather and relax while staying aware, for example in the clinch.

Actual conditioning and fitness is only smart part of conditioning/stamina in a fight.

Hit the nail on the head with relaxation. Any excess tension, mental or physical, will sap energy.

I'm not a boxer. I've noticed that certain fighters like Duran and James Toney don't get tired because they are relaxed in the ring.

Have you mastered your breathing yet?

There's nothing wrong with your stamina. It sounds like you need to focus your training. How can you expect to throw punches when the weight of the gloves gets you tired after a while. So you hit the heavy bag. For hours if needed, in proper technique. You can run forever but you get tired running around the ring. The ring isnt designed for track and field. You need to shadowbox in a ring and develop your mental plan on how you are going to set traps and get out of traps. Also you should always be stepping in a circle and never straight back when you shadowbox. Anything else is going to come from exercises that are meant to rip, develop, and mature your muscles to be able to fight longer fights. If you say you are a good runner, stamina is not your issue. You need to bring everything together that goes with fighting. Dont run distance all the time either. Get sprints in. You need to get used to slowing down your heartbeat on your own through breathing properly.
