gotta use the speed bag and jump rope on those last 30 secs its a sprint. gotta have it in your routine
Valuable for beginners but I’ve never understood why so many seasoned pros still spend time on it, other than blind habit I guess.
https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/incredible-eubank-sr-interview-wisest-fighter-ever.661746/ Eubank Sr To be a good fighter you have to spar. I don’t say forget the bag work or road work, I say do all of that but most important is sparring. Let me put it another way: If you did all the skipping (jumping rope), speed ball and pads, and the bag work and running but didn’t spar, you would get nowhere in boxing. You would be tore up. However if you only sparred and did nothing else but spar, I believe you could still reach great heights. Put most of your focus into sparring. And if you never spar hard, it means you’re not getting hurt. In old Jamaican households the saying to unruly children was this: ‘If you cannot hear, you must FEEL!’ Most single parent households with no father figure result in unruly adults and imprisonment. Ok, the point is this: If you’re tapped to the side of the head, you’re less likely to bring your hand up next time to block the left hook than if you were hit with full force.
You need to completely sharp in the ring if you can`t punch a speed bag properly you aren`t being trained properly.
Bull! You don`t need to spar too hard and you should avoid hurting your sparring partner, all sparring is for is practising your fundamentals, you need pad work to make sure your combo`s are tight and you need to know the numbers to know the best combo`s to throw.
Dude...UR either fast or UR not. They no improving your handspeed. It's like being a puncher you either got that or U donut. And U sure don't do better on speed practicing on an adamantamate object opposed to a real live person who blocks and gives angles and slickness with they own reflexes and cordenation.
I've setup my scales which measure to a milligram, drafting compasses, chalk board with numerous mathematical equations, tesla coils, bunsen burners & beakers with the twirly overhead tubes, to once and for all prove scientifically that a speed bag works.
