    How can you over emphasize the fundamentals that make the fight easier for the boxer ?

    You should go to the website and read each point. Nobody says anything about fundamentals.

    Jumping rope and jogging can certainly be used as a warm-up to prepare a boxer for intense training, but too much of it increases the risk of injury and makes fighters slower. On this first point, a study on American boxers published in 1990 concluded that an association could be made between lower body overuse injuries and the jogging and rope jumping the boxers did to prepare for boxing. On the second point, if you combine too much slow training with fast training, the body will not understand what it is supposed to adapt to, and this can affect speed and power.

    Total BS... Not specific at all . No communication on this one.. Non descript comment.. Fast training, Slow training ? This means nothing to someone who trains everyday...

    Reading this article is really strange. There's a lot of terrible speculative comments here. Like this : If lifting slowed down athletes, then we wouldn’t see the most powerful track athletes, shot putters, and discus throwers lifting weights. I should add, however, that to stay fresh it’s not wise to lift heavy shortly before competitions, and that when athletes train they always need to lift with the “intent” of moving fast. Even if the weights they are using force them to move slowly, as long as they have the intent of moving quickly, they will activate the fast-twitch muscle fibers that contribute the most to boxing performance.

    Many different muscle groups are used in boxing in addition to the ones mentioned above. His comments are way too unspecific without explanation to be taken seriously..

    Also EZ work reference is not a boxer or fighters point of reference for the term.

    Running while shadowboxing & Skipping rope are exercises for coordination & endurance.. done correctly with proper form, neither of these exercises is ez work... This comment is the most disturbing of the ones I've read..

    He isn't trying to be specific, he doesn't have to for the point he's attempting to get across.

    He's pointing out that if weight training slows you down (which is what the majority of boxing coaches believe) then how do extremely powerful athletes such as track athletes, shot putters and discuss throwers utilize weights in their training and get faster and stronger? In other words; weights don't make you slower (if used correctly). That's what he's saying.

    Scrap you are deliberately An obfuscator for that I promised this forum that I would thrash you soundly with a Plimsoll slipper.
    Kindly explain what do you mean by touch and feeling and what does that have to do with weight training.
