eubanks also ate once a day, drank minial amount of water, wore sauna suits for most of his training, thats not old school, thats stupid.
There is much more to how Ross trains his pro boxers then whats in his books! As he always says most of the conditioning is sport specific stuff (heavy bag, pad work, sparring etc).
you want to know who trains smart? floyd mayweather manny pacquiao carl froch amir khan james degale vitali/wlad klitschko bernard hopkins juan manuel marquez andre berto andre ward mikkel kessler shane mosley sergio martinez do you need more names?
bag/pad work, shadow boxing, skipping etc is not new school nor is it old school, its skill work, its boxing, how do you expect to be a boxer when you dont... you know box?
Never said it was new or old school. Doyle was saying people like Calzaghe train completely different to how Ross trains people. They are a lot more alike then people realise
no i wasn't directing it at you. calzaghe trained the right way, ate the right food, had the right type of training camp...
What? I remember reading somewhere that he ate ONE meal a day (which was a special yogurt) that his dad made up due to making 168 was killing him.
i dont know where heard that but dean powell told me this last year at an amateur show, calzaghe ate alot of natural and organic fruits and veg's. even in the 24/7 for calzaghe vs jones he is seen eating a plate of salad.
that was covered in an interview before, enzo said they do the exact same thing except dehydrate before the weigh in
Well it's what i read before bro. Not too sure if it's true anyway. I mean, you couldn't train at that level on a yogurt a day.
Believe it or not, energy expenditure charts of muay thai matches 3 x 2 rds, fighters spent 60% of their energy output below anaerobic threshold. Boxing is actually considered an aerobic-anaerobic sport. Even at an amateur level, energy is largely drawn from the aerobic energy system. The remaining relies heavily on the lactic energy system, or the bridge between aerobic/anaerobic energy. Threshold training is very beneficial for this to increase output right at/below anaerobic threshold. I wrote an article called "aerobic energy system" that explains this and how to train it. I agree with what you are saying regarding weights, in that if you have only so much time between work, children, wife, training, etc. you have to prioritize.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but as someone who fought muay thai before coming to boxing I have to say muay thai is generally a LOT slower paced than boxing matches. The long range allowed by kicks and the fact clinching is permitted mean there are more opportunities to rest.
