Jack Dempsey advice on training

Yeah what Virus said, just the general mentality of people. In past generations it was all about how hard you could work, these days it's about what you can get away with. There are pluses and minuses to both sides.

 

I dont get why

has to try to convince us to change something if you dont agree with this just leave the thread alone i mean c'mon, whats the point of you doing this why are you so desperate to change peoples minds about training programs

 

I agree with him that sparring is the best exercise for a boxer. There is no substitute, that at least hasn't changed

 

Why would somebody avoid posting scientifically valid information to help further people's knowledge? :huh

 

Its infuriating the way people look at athletes as some kind of irrefutable source of knowledge. You are a credit to this forum.

Its also a great way to be a walking vegetable by the time you are 40

Must have some kind of agenda, he really should just stop posting and trying to educate. I used to have a bunch of ****s like him at school.

 

I'll listen to boxers and trainers on matters regarding boxing as an art and discipline. But as said in another thread on boxers many reach elite levels despite their training/nutrition rather than because of it. Paul Williams was a high level boxer should I follow his technique of spending 90% of my time on conditioning? I listen to people who have scientific knowledge rather than anecdotal. We know more than we used to so why should I ignore that because some black and white boxer had ideas based on experience with no scientific grounding? You wouldn't do that in anything else so why should I when it comes to boxing?

I was being a bit flippant I think sparring is the best thing you can do if you are doing it properly. I see too many people who just try and recreate a fight all the time and although that has a place doing it everyday is not going to be an efficient use of time.

Whats the puzzled face for?

 

:yep Any pro boxer will tell you sparrring is the most part of training camp. Learn some defense and you will be fine when your 80

of course, its good to compliment it with the rest of a boxers typical regimen

 

Like I said to johnstown I wasn't being that serious I think structured intelligent sparring is the best thing you can do as a boxer. I also think a lot of the damage done in sparring can be reduced if people used sparring more intelligently and didn't just try have a fight.

 

Ofc it is but you cannot go all out on every sparring cause youre gonna be a vegetable.
Controled and light sparring is great,working on technique,angles.
I do hard sparing once a week.It suits me great.
Btw its nice to see how old boxers trained but i wouldnt pay much attention to it.

 

You spar now and take almost no damage because you spar against 100 pound 13 year olds

 

Is that because he schools your ass when you go 100% (see Johnstown thread boasting about hurting a little kid because he was afraid of what people who he doesn't know thought when he was getting bashed)? You don't know who I am. What you're doing is called projecting, you should know about that Mr. community college psych man :deal
