I can try to push myself but still frustrated with my stamina.

    I can push myself and push myself but I still see guys in the gym who can go for hard rounds after hard rounds with no drop off. There are some girls in the gym who do 6 rounds no problem. (Might help being 110 lbs and not having long arms to extend) Then I gotta watch the 45 yr old pudgy former pro spar 10 rounds casually and doesn't look winded. I ain't feeling fresh or not breathing after a couple.

    Many factors - nutrition, hydration, stress, rest (as in sleep), mental state, conditioning, how hard you're training, boxing ability (better technique = less energy spent) just to name a few.

    I think my technique is pretty good. Hmm. I probably don't sleep too well, but Dennis Rodman probably slept 6 hours a week and had a high energy level. I might try yoga.

    What is your resting heart rate? Do you relax when boxing?

    Resting heartrate seems average. I've gotten more tired in fights honestly.

    Train harder (fast, intense cardio intervals), and stay looser in the ring.
    If you're new, it ain't gonna happen overnight.

    I think the slower your heartrate the better.

    Unless something is going wrong or somebody is an outlier, most resting heart rate for a good amateur should be in at least the mid 50s.

    heavybag work man. a lot of peiple will tell you to run usually but this is boxing not a marathon. lots and lots of heavybag work is my recommendation. my routine consists of 3 6 minute rounds on the heavybag at least. but iv'e been at it 4 years


    for a begginer master going three hard rounds on the heavybag. once you've got that down then move onto another round or longer rounds and just keep going up once you've masterd each goal

    You'll get better as you go. I wok out all the time, cardio, weightlifting, I do power lifter and bodybuilder routines, bag work running etc. Nothing and I mean both works your body and conditioning like sparring. You just have to get used to it. Find a rythym and a steady work rate and pace and push yourself. There is no secret tricks when it comes to boxing. It's how much and how hard you work at it, and being lead in the right direction.
