Fought an experienced guy today and a dude who played O line for U mass. I made a conscious effort to stay relaxed and the difference was incredible. Relaxing in the ring and a good jab are the keys to boxing...

the same thing i always say - relax relax relax! relax and breathe!
very underrated. my teacher constantly says that during sparring too. it should be a mantra for anyone who spars.
to be the best u can be, u have to feel comfortable. if u get nervous, u r bound to **** up and get frustrated.Comment

I notice when I'm relaxed my punch output increases greatly, I parry punches with ease and the stamina issue goes straight out the window!Comment

Look at Pavlik - Taylor I.
Taylor was so tense, there was a lot of wasted movement (energy) and his stamina suffered greatly (even though he usually has stamina issues)Comment

I think that there's a phrase for it "being in the zone". That time and place where you breathe, relax, don't need to think. If you've done the ground work for fitness that place is where it all comes together in any sport, not just boxing.Comment

hmm, the mind is to be trained just like the body but I would start watching some guys who are totally relaxed in their and see how they do it. You can watch Kelly Pavlik in his last fight and I like watching big George Foreman after his comeback. The guy was like he was just goin through the motions and nothing phased him. You need to be relaxed to operate at 100% and keep your stamina as well. Save your energy up for the split second that you snap a punch and thats all. good luckComment
