    do you think some people are born with good engines or is it training techniques people use? i would love to have the non stop work rate that hatton had. if you have any tips on how to be a non stop fighter(i.e. drills, exercises) please share. cheers

    Training. Last year I lost alot because of low workrate, coaches form other clubs would come up to me afterwards and tell me I needed to let my hands go. Started training harder and this year let my hands good alot more = winning.

    Cardio brah.

    Can't through a lot of punches if you don't have the energy and will get tired after one round. In addition to sprints (which you should be doing anyways) do hard rounds on pads/bags throwing a lot of punches. 4,5,6 punch combinations instead of the usual 2 and 3 punches.

    You'll also need to make sure your technique is good becuase if you have poor balance/stance it makes it harder to through combinations.

    Train as you would like to perform.

    Yeah, sprints and actually throwing punches in bunches on the heavy bag consistently can help, but a lot of it is neurological mindset. Some guys are wired to start fast and get weaker as the fight guys on (guys like Judah), some need to get in the rhythm and warm up (guys like Frazier and other slow starters), and some don't like to waste punches (Clottey), and I don't think you can change this aspect of yourself too much because you will have a mental tendency to a particular activity level at certain times.

    It is a bit of both.

    I think it takes a special guy to push right up to the edge of exhaustion. The guy who can see through the burn and tap into his bodies "mechanical capacity" that lies deep beneath the "reasonable capacity". Your mind quits before your body does to save your body.At the end of the day though? Training is what matters most as at least that you control fully.

    That is why guys like me work hours on accuracy, timing, erratic style, surprise and dirty tricks! :hey

    It's all about mental strength and willpower. If you distract your mind instead of thinking of how hard the workout is, the workout will just pass by a lot quicker. Also, if you genuinely like to train, it aids tremendously.
