Does improvements in strength training show in the ring??

I don't think it does. You aren't trying to lift the other guy, just land more punches.
But I should amend that...Being strong, or very very fit, will make you a better fighter IF you took the time and invested the effort to learn how to fight first.

 

i think it does as long as you are training with proper frequency, rest and specific muscle group.

 

Deadlifts for the win

 

weight training dont mean **** and it does **** all for boxing

 

i would say it would be easy to do if you don't have a plan.

 

I remember watching Dickie Ryan, with his mullet and soft around the middle, score a second round tko over a former Mr Olympia.
If you want to be a fighter, conditioning will carry you much further than strength, but knowing how to fight will get you the further along than either. And if you can fight and are in top condition that is the best. Strength isn't that big a deal.

 

What does being Mr. Olympia have to do with strength training?
Strength is a part of conditioning.
You probably can't notice much of a difference just like you can't notice much of a difference when you improve your fitness. It's there but it's not going to have a major impact unless you were lacking in the first place. Boxing is boxing.

 

I would say it depends were your starting from. If your starting of weak then increased strength from weightlifting will show in all areas of your life that require you to act physically including boxing.

Personally though I have found that body weight exercises like push ups and pull ups seemed to help me more with boxing than weight lifiting, both have there place however imo and I use both during different periods.

 

This makes far too much sense here. Please leave immediately.

 

My reference was to a guy (Mr Olympia) that looked like a body-builder being beaten by a guy that looked like me. One guy knew how to fight and the other guy didn't.

 

You as well, lefty.

I don't want to hear anymore of your well thought out and proven explanations. I want to read how upping my curl and bench numbers will turn me into an Ivan Drago power punching sexual T-Rex.

 

strength training really is the last thing i worry about. skill and conditioning is #1 but you want to be a well rounded athlete there is nothing wrong at all with adding it into your training regimen. i dont know how many times it has to be explained that bodybuilding is not the type of training a fighter needs. any basic strength training routine fit into your schedule will help fine. it'll increase your strength and explosiveness albeit you're doing the proper type of training, i dont know how you wouldnt notice a carryover from that into the ring. but, i guess most guys believe boxers are the only athletes on the planet that shouldnt touch weights. apparently it helps runners, swimmers, football and hockey players and mma fighters, but just not guys who punch eachother in the head...

 

Obviously learning how to box and technique is first priority, but weight lifting, if done correctly, can help any athlete tremendously, whatever the sport. The guys saying it's pointless or it doesn't help really don't have any idea what they're talking about.
