how do these boxers last 12 rounds?

meh I was the same to start with until i started doing roadwork.. but the main thing is being calm... not wasting punches.. but be calm

Think about Pascal and Jermain Taylor they get burnt from nervous energy

Ever have any other sports base to draw from? I played soccer throughout all of high school. Stamina is the one strength I really have over anyone else. I'll let you go crazy for two rounds and then by the fourth, I'm the shark dragging you into the deep end.

when i was young i always get excited to fight. actually i like fighting more than training. i guess the reason why i didn't excel is because i took shortcuts. i just want to be there and ****.

Honestly, and I speak from experience here, lots of running will prepare you for a marathon but not a long fight.

Sparring will build you for fighting, the running might help out abit but you need to spar alot if you want to be able to go more rounds.

When I turned pro my trainer, after we agreed on the pro game, in our first session had me spar 6 or 8 rounds. I usually had always sparred 3 or 4 at the most as an amatuer. I did have a 5 round bout in the amatuers but they were only 2 minute rounds. I was able to finish the rounds and was tired as hell. Then we started the floor work and it was 6 more on the heavy bag, then 4 on the speed bag, a couple on the double ended bag and then his killer cals to finish up. Needless to say when the session was over I was dog dead tired. I went home sore, went to bed, woke up the next morning more sore then I had ever been. My muscles were so tight and it hurt just to walk around. I went to work for a day shift and went back that night to do it all over again. For about 4 weeks I hurt like this every day. Then just instantly it seemed to happen I show up on monday to work out having rested the week end and suddenly I was just doing it with out being crazy tired or sore. I mean I still fought the fatigue in my muscles during the session but they were just responding to whatever I needed them to do. Another few weeks and it became routine. Don't tell but I didn't do much roadwork at all. I sparred and busted my ass at the gym and it just happened, to the point of doing 8 rounds and going 8 rounds and going home feeling like it was an average workout.

If you want to run marathons then run Forrest run. If you want to fight in longer fights then spar, spar, spar and bust your ass on the floor work. You get it in the gym..............Rockin'

Rockin what was the Killer cals routine he put you through if you don't mind?

Everyone who responded with either comfortable or relaxed knows what time it is. That comes with experience. Just keep doing what you have to do, there's no magic, just keep doing it and you'll get that there are no magic foods, magic exercises, or supplements that will make you a better fighter. Spar, spar, spar and spar some more, stay up kids and don't worry to much about specifics just do what your trainer tells you and spar........1
