Weightlifting for Boxing - What to...

Do some research into how athletes utilize weight training before making such a ridiculous non nonsensical comment.

This be true.

 

Incorporate conditioning

Avoid powerlifting

 

the simplest thing to say is work out what makes you function properly in the ring weight wise and don't go mad with it, remember you don't want to become sluggish. i do alot of weight exercises very regularly but they all aid me in my boxing.

This seems to be functional, simple and you don't need expensive equipment to do it.

boxers requires all combination of speed, power, strength and endurance

 

You have to take into consideration that the more time you spend lifting weights the less time you spend sparring and developing important skills...If you are competing don't prioritize weightlifting, skill development is much more beneficial for amateurs. However adequate strength is vital for boxing, include resistance exercises (Calisthenics, Weights etc.) that you personally enjoy and believe will enhance your own physical fighting ability. Just remember the more time in the weight room the less time in the ring, Just my $0.02.

 

FYI John David Jackson says Kovalev doesnt lift weights at all.

 

My opinion is that the time and intensity of weight lifting done should be similar to the time and intensity of a round of boxing--or somewhat similar. That's why I like training complexes for boxing or HIIT especially with dumbbells.

 

If you're going to incorporate weight training, you're better off using this time to develop overall power, not moving light/medium weight for time.

 

Why? There is no transformation or improvement if youre doing the same thing in the gym as you do in the boxing ring.
Uselles.

This on the other hand is very good.

 

because the better conditioned boxer will beat the boxer who is stronger but cannot do as much work. Junior Chavez is a great example of this although I think his conditioning comes more from a lab than a gym. A lot of times when the commentary guys refer to a fighter as a "a slow starter" what that really signifies is the "slow starter's" conditioning allows him to continue boxing with vigor while his opponent's inferior conditioning slows him down, limits his punch output and takes the power away from his punches. It looks like he started slowly but in reality he hasn't lost as much capacity to do work as his opponent.
