Agility Training for a lead footed douche

[Righthandbanger]

Title says it all.

I'm 5'6'' and walk around at like 160.. I'm good at trading (particularly bodyshots) but get into trouble when guys 'outfight' well.

so what do you guys do for agility? I'll include interval training in this even though technically its not agility training.

I'm ok at cutting the ring off and cornering guys but I need to work on getting inside and staying there when guys try to run away.

cheers

Not sure if I get you right, but it sounds like you, the short fighter, like to pressure and come in agressively. If the other guy knows what he's doing he might try to pull you in so he can hit you with quick combos while you get your feet under you. Try to jab your way in, body or head it doesn't matter and then step to the side.

Try combination training as well. It might take weeks/months for you to see results, stick to it.

A lot of it is just constantly working on your footwork. I wish Freddie Roach would come out with a video of the footwork drills he does with his fighters...he's got Manny Pacquiao in particular moving soooo smooth.
