Can the strength to quickly recuperate when hurt, be somewhat gained in training ?

It has a lot to do with mentality and how you deal with it

Some people don't have the mentality to react properly when they take big shots, whether hurt or not

Some people freeze up (like Bute), some people panic and get on their bike, some people take a shot and think '****, YOU' or 'is that all you got?', some people take it and think '****, **** **** **** ****'

The better you are prepared to take the shot, physically and mentally, the better you will recouperate and the less you will be hurt

Of course conditioning plays a large part in your punch resistance, and the better conditioned you are, the better you will recover

 

yes, yes, old school. run, do aerobic exercises, shite helps. when tired, u get your 2nd wind, a beautiful thing

 

Yes well if your in shape, not dehydrated from making weight and work on your shoulders and neck, and learn good instincts like when to hold and how to survive than sure

of coursse lots comes from your mentality but with the right training and coach even that can be adjusted

 

Recovery? I believe so, but as Vidic mentioned I think alot relies on the boxer's mental attitude.

 

I think it's one of those things that can't be taught, but only can be learned. But now, if you train hard and do the things in the gym properly, you will be more polished and more adept to handle adversity in the ring. But you initially have to have the "it" factor here.

 

The better your cardio the quicker you recover

 

Its called knowing what to do. Mayweather, who hadn't been hurt in his entire career prior to the Mosley fight knew exactly what to do when wobbly which was go into high guard and walk direct into Mosley's chest and smother Mosley's punches.

Bute knew absolutely nothing about what to do and went back into the ropes and allowed Froch to tee off on him.

 

definitely. I mean, when you get down to it, training is putting your body through punishment, in preparation for punishment. it has to help your recuperative abilities. secondly, there are some shots that a guy simply will not recover from if he isnt in good shape.

 

In the words of Humphrey Bogart, "you've been misinformed."

 

What fight was it where he was hit flush on the temple and damn near went down? He's been down once in his career and Zab caught him with an off balance counter but other than that who put the hurt on him?

 

Demarcus Corley :yep

 

Yes.

But as most stated, it starts with a fighter's mentality. The ones who don't freak and will themselves to get back in the fight have a chance. Tim Bradley perfectly embodies both the mental and physical requirements.

 

This really depends a lot on the kind of punch that put you down -- where it hit you and what you were doing when it landed.
Different punches result to different body reactions.
Some will make your legs go wobbly, some will make you lose your sense of balance, some will make you gasp for air like Thor just put his hammer on top of your chest, and the weirdest I've felt is somehow my entire body felt heavy and wouldn't act on will, etc.

Needless to say, you can train to react appropriately to some of them. Some.
