Anyone know Durans training routine?

You can choose not to believe this if you like. But I read Duran practiced the use of his head in his training sessions. That is on the heavy bag for instance he'd be including butts in his combos.

 

The Spider, your talking about him using the speedball with his head, and it was more of a party piece than serious training.

 

Apparently he was quite proficient at it too. You fight how you train as they say.

 

What surprised me, He didnt take Liberties in Sparring.

 

i just got done reading durans biography. he didnt train much for alot of his fights but the ones he did train hard for he was ferocious. he used to destroy sparring partners

 

It comes as no surprised he used to destroy his training partners.

 

He didnt when I was there
