Jimmie, do you work mornings and have the evenings off? Reason I'm asking is that you do all your training in one massive block, rather than morning and evening, which would maximize recovery time. However, if you work morning shifts or something then fair enough. I trained the same way as you when I worked 4am-1pm.

As for mine:
Right now I'm taking it easy and not competing, so I only do boxing training once or twice a week for two hours, and maybe throw a run in once a week.

But when I'm fighting

Monday: 2 hours boxing (PM)
Tuesday: AM: Roadwork; PM: Strength training
Wednesday: PM - Boxing
Thursday: PM- Boxing
Friday: AM: Roadwork; PM: Strength training
Saturday: AM: Roadwork
Sunday: Rest.

For roadwork I vary around distance runs, various sprint sessions at the track and running up and down a hill. I don't like to do running the days I box, as I'm a big guy and usually my knees get stiff and hurt after a hard roadwork session, and then I'm heavy on my feet when I train. Good enough for me though, I've always been fitter than my opponents, win or lose, and I've always kept a very high punch output up for my weight.

 

Do you think boxing 3 times a week is enough to develop your skills?

 

jimmie, you should consider incorporating some explosive lifts with heavy weight and lower reps to develop that strength component.

 

Iv been boxing and copeting since 2005 but stopped for a while because of different personal issues. I started training again last january 2008 because i gained 40 pounds. lost 20 pounds already since january and now weigh at 165 but want to join this upcomming tournament in september i have to get back to my fight weight of 140 which was my last weight when i last fought

 

My gym's only open three days. I do some boxing-specific drills on my own time, but I dont really have a choice. In all the gyms I've been to, I've always put a lot of my own time in to developing my boxing and trying new things out. Once you have the basics, you can experiment by yourself, although you need a good trainer to correct your experiments.

 

how many miles do you usually run and how many times a week?
Is it true that pros run 3-5 miles everyday?
