Of course he does. He’s just staying fit out of camp. Can’t see what all the nonsense is about inside here.
This. Many on here won’t know what it takes to train a boxer, never mind criticising what they are doing. I don’t have the foggiest which is why I wouldn’t dream of commenting.
It's more the point of hiring a football S&C coach as opposed to one catered specifically towards boxing. The Virgin Active gym I used to go to had a PT working there who Groves hired after his Carl Froch KO loss, he came in and was supposed to improve his stamina and endurance. Fact is it got worse and he was sacked a few fights later. Why not hire a S&C coach with a proven track record in boxing like Alex Ariza for example. Not some guy who's used to making footballed dribble through cones and hit a ball in the top corner.
Boxers are not anywhere near as fit as boxers 20 plus years ago. Do they look better with clothes of? Yes. But they just aren’t as fit or built for boxing. All these s&c people I feel just complicate things and take away from actual boxing training. Listening to a pod and I think it was buddy McGurt that was slamming s&c coaches and saying they are undermining the boxing coaches.
