    No they won't help, his shoulders would get stronger, but burned out much faster from it.

    Maybe you don't have your elbows tucked in enough.

    Hi Dennis
    Kind of a generic question but I know you have experience so here it goes…Do you have any suggestions for a new fighter doing a "three rounder" smokers Competition?
    :?

    It looks like a train wreck, two armatures with at least six months of experience and maybe one or two previous Smokers under their belt. Two minutes three rounds with head gear.


    I hope that was good info : )

    I think the most important element you need to focus on is stamina. Depending on your opponent you can adapt and anticipate to anything, but stamina is the thing you don't wanna miss here.

    I understand you have little/no fight experience? That means you don't know where your limits are yet. You don't know how to split your energy into the three rounds. So make sure you've got yourself covered in the stamina department. I'm not only talking about cardiovascular stamina, I'm also talking about your muscle endurance.

    When is this competition happening? If you have time to prepare make sure you run alot, that will cover the cardiovascular part and it will strengthen your legs at the same time. Also do alot of bag work. Focus on how long you can keep punching before your arms are completely tired. Make sure you expand your limits on this as well. You need to make sure you still have decent power and speed left when you enter the 3rd round. If the fight is around the corner, take it easy but keep busy, sharpen up your technique and make sure you go into the fight fit and healthy.

    Also have a good warmup before the fight, you don't wanna go into the first round cold, that will cost you the round so make sure you're ready to go from the opening bell.

    Don't go all out in the first round. Measure the distance between you and the opponent with your jab, analyze him but keep busy..try to see his weak points but at the same time keep scoring. Again, be careful with your stamina. Don't go all out in the first, try to win the round as calm as possible, make sure you definitely win the second and go all-out in the third.

    The judges probably like (effective) aggresiveness, so try to stay busy all the time, take the initiative and be the dominant force. Work his body a bit but don't focus on it since amateur judges look at head punches much more.

    Go into the fight motivated, confident and relaxed, but do not underestimate your opponent. Stay focussed.

    Hi, I just started boxing and have a quick question. When I first started with a coach a few weeks ago, he was showing me the correct form for all the punches. He is a stickler on turning your hand over as you throw your punch to avoid hand injury. This makes perfect sense, except for the manner he is trying to get me to throw a hook in. Now, I don't want to argue with him or question him since I'm just starting and don't know anything, but I do want to make sure I am understanding him right. I was always of the impression that when throwing a hook, your forearm is paralell to the ground with your palm facing your face or the ground, depending on the distance from your opponent. He has me throwing them with my palm facing away from my face, towards my opponent. I see this as an extension of his persistence in rotating your hand and he wants to overemphasize it to reinforce the idea, but it seems odd to me. Am I wrong about this?
