Professional boxers

[triggnom]

What type of training is it that boxers do, that get them in the incredible, INCREDIBLE amount of shape their in? Gymnists are pretty amazing but i dont think they can trade that many punchs for a 12 round fight like a boxer, so what is the key??

not buying it the long distance runs do very little for a boxers training. he'd be wasting his time. Skills training and no sparring wtf???? pros in my city spar daily a min of 3-4 rnds. **** I spar up to 10 3 times a week. wtf
and a secret private training facility where all the fighters go. hm ok.
I would prefer a small hole in the wall out of the public eye. where I can spar and work out with real boxers without worrying about my apponent seeing. how I train. a lot of fighters make there training open anyway, why wouldn't he let you use his name?

Each boxer has a different routine, As it should be training for this sport ld be individualized for we all have different needs. I can't speak for everybody but my routine was molded to fit a pro career. might be a good example

ROAD WORK

1. TO TO THREE MILE WARM UP JOG.
2. FULL SPRINTS. 10 X 3MIN SPINTS 1 MIN OF REST "WALK" BETWEEN RNDS
3. A MIX OF 50 METER SPRINTS AND PLYOMETRICS
a. 15-20 burpees - 50 meter sprints -jog to start - box hops/clap pushups -
50 meter sprint - 20 to 30 knee tucks or squat jumps - jog back
repeat process 4-6 times.
road work sessions are everyother day ie. mon, wed, fri. tue, thur, and sat i run 3 miles no work out sunday.

SKILLS TRAINING

1. SHADOW BOXING. 4-6 RNDS MY MAIN WARM UP TOOL
2. SPEED BAG. 4-6 RNDS
3. HEAVY BAG. USUALY 4-6 3 MIN RNDS - 6 TO 10 1 MIN RNDS "INTENSE"
4. SPARING. IF I CAN FIND AN APONENT3-10 RNDS 3 TIMES A WEEK. VARIOUS DRILLS. ie defense only. ofense only. 50% power, full spar.
5. DOUBLE END BAG. 4-6 RNDS NOT BIG WITH THIS ONE OR THE SLIP BAG USE THEM TO FINE TUNE MY COMBO'S AND DEFENSE
6. PUNCH MITS. 3-6 RNDS DEPENDING ON SPAR TIME.
skills training is 5days a week

STENGTH AND CONDITIONING (I actally changed this due to advice from Punchdrunk was doing far to many reps. result more energy power is good)

a [u]weights - sets are 1-3 x 3-7 reps Some single sets of 15

1. Barbell clean-grip deadlifts

2. Barbell clean pulls from floor

3. Barbell rack cleans

5. squats

6. lunges



8. lat rows and pull down

bconditioning

1. JUMP ROPE. 4-6 ROUNDS USE AS WARM UP FOR SKILLS TRAINING

2. PLYOMETRICS.

3. Stairs and sprints

4. Sledge hammer 3-min rnds 1 min rest switch power hands

5. Running hill 3/4 mile grad slop 1/2 is a pretty good grade sprint to top
USE WEIGHTED VEST FOR A LOT OF THESE INCLUDING HILLS

6. BAG LIFTS 100 LB BAG. AND TIRE THROWS I USE THE BIGGEST TIRE I CAN
FIND AND THROW AS FAST AS I CAN FOR ABOUT 3-5 MIN

7. 8lb MEDICINE BALL TOSS AGAINST A WALL FROM A PUNCHING POSITION
TO MIMICK THE PUNCHING MOTION.

ALL I HAVE TO ADD IS AN ASSLOAD OF AB WORK, I'M SURE EVERYBODY DOES THE SAME CRUNCHES AND SITUPS MED BALLS ETC.

I do roadwork and various cardio in the morning, Gym work in the evening
gives me 3 hard days (two a days) 3 easy per week.

re kingdosia:
high intensity interval training isn't the be all end all of training for professional or serious boxers. sparring is the best conditioning for a REAL fight.

I don't think he claimed anything else? He says he does 3-10 rounds, 3 times a week. If that's every week, that's a lot of sparring.

Some people can get away with doing what you do. Let's hope you're one of them.

Nah, seriously though, it all depends on how serious you are. I mean, why no give it all you got? Seems to me like you're the typical underachiever. You've got the talent and the genetics to be a really good fighter, but for some reason you've still only had one fight (which you lost, shoes or not). Sure, at this point (especially with your natural physique), going to the gym for an hour might be fine, but if you want to progress, even you have to step it up.

Edit: And who gives a **** about being "in better shape than most people"?? You've gotta be in the best shape YOU can be!

There's no "one key" all training, bags, pad work, running, sparring are all important, I'm around a lot of pros at my gym and even when big fights have happened in London, I've been lucky to see a few of these people train, even Gerald Mclellan(sp?).

Road work is the most important and if like James Toney you hate running, then those rounds and rounds of sparring, I remember hearing Emmanuel Steward saying this too, a lot of pros(especially seasoned ones) are already technical, the combinations are there, you never lose your power, the major thing that you have to always work on is your stamina, that always depletes when you're not training, so that's the most important part.
