weight lifting and boxing

[FeelTheA-Force]

what's goin on guys

I started boxing about a month ago in a gym with a trainer (not personal trainer, but he gives me advice and tells me what to do)

anway, before that I was heavily in weight lifting for about 3 years. Him and this other trainer told me to stop lifting weights completely as it'll make me stiff and tight. I don't want to become a stick though (i'm in the lightweight weight class), so what would you guys suggest I do? Maybe machines for reps of 15 or pull ups and push ups and body excercises?

There is no downside to strength. But heavy lifting will shorten the muscles. So stretching is essential, as well as not replacing actual fighting with lifting.....
