Overtrained?!?!

No it's not, recovery is probably the most important part of training. Most boxers try to do too much in a day and don't get sufficient recovery time

 

Its not that hard to do. There only need to be an unprofessional approach. For instance when boxer starts training camp too late, so to overtake he finishes the training camp too late (for example 3 days before the fight) so the boxer didnt rest enough and isnt fresh - which means that he is overtrained. Over training is caused by an unprofessional approach.

I agree that it is excuse mostly.

 

If they're so quick to jump to over training after defeat, wouldn't they feel CNS fatigue during training? Most boxers have nutritionists, fitness experts working them these days, it's a poor overused excuse IMO.

 

I agree, and given that scenario, the blame would lay on the boxer and his team.

 

You wouldnt be asking this question if you were a boxer so just stick to criticising and let the men go to work.

 

In short boxers try to reach their peek performance the day of the fight, in overtraining you might of reached your peak during camp; therefore you overtrained.

 

Very true, this isnt just an excuse it does happen to fighters who tend to push themselves beyond what they should, in the gym you do peak you can feel it, timing is on, Stamina is there rythem is there snap is in the shots etc... which is why there is a cool down period the last week of training up to the fight...

when you over do it, your body goes beyond that point in which is was peak... from there you can gas out easily your timing may be effected...
you wouldnt let a engine run non stop, every now and then you have to turn it off, re fill it with fuel, oil perhaps change the plugs... The human body is not made to do this 24/7

 

How do they measure they reached their peak in camp? you're not up against the opposition fighter in camp.

 

Berto-Mosley cancelled- January 18th
Mayweather-Mosley- May 1st

 

The fighter displays it in sparring, in training etc... The trainer will easily pick up on it, its almost as if every thing has come together, when a trainer has to pull his fighter back a bit its for obvious reason.

 

That's during the camp, not the actual fight. There are many athletes who are sharp in camp, training, but the actual fight or event they fall flat. It's not all to do with over training.

 

When it happens, you change people in your staff. Not supposed to happen in 2010.

 

Not saying he over trained, but the schedule you quoted basically means Mosley only had 1 month of rest instead of the usual 2-4 months that boxers follow these days (2-3 fights a year).

 

You are correct its not all due to over training, However Over training does exsist.....

 

Agreed.
