Mayweather style pad routine: good or bad?

if mayweather does pads that way there must be benefits to it. He was p4p best fighter in the world remember..

 

Why not?

By choreographing surely you are constantly improving your defence, something which normal padwork cant do the the same extent surely?

By doing it over and over he is perfecting his countering techniques, and against nearly every type of attack.

 

Because it teaches bad technique, what works for him may not work for you. Get what I'm saying?

 

How does it teach bad technique you idiot.

The whole idea of repetition is to perfect the technique. He may do pads for 30 minutes and mix up a few routines and repaet the same moves over and over installing the defensive moves into his muscle memory and making the moves second nature.

The idea of that pad work is designed for focus and is set up for the most likely scenario of a punch exchange. Anyone who sais his pad routines is not useful is deluded. Your coach may tell you his pad routines are not good because he isnt capable of holding the pads in that style.

 

How about talking without being such a ****ing dick.
For people not quite experienced than him it would do nothing, the point of mitts is to build up reaction, rather than memorizing it.

Stfu and have a nice day.

 

your stupidity is amusing..

you got no idea what you are talking about..


explain how it teaches bad technique?

for begginers its not that easy to remember a choreographed pad routine and a begginer would obviously do the pad work at a slower speed to get technique right.

As you get better at this style of pads its not always choreographed. That will teach you reaction as you will already have your technique correct from the choreographed routine.

 

Doing the same thing over and over isn't going to help your reaction. Yes it does help as far as getting down a movement such as getting your hands up right away after a punch and such. But as far as building up your cordination it doesn't do much. That's why most trainers do the traditional random set ups with the pads.

 

a fighter can also do traditional pads aswell as mayweather style pad work. There is definite benifits to it. That way you get the best of both world. To sharpen up you can also spar aswell.
Mayweather style allows you to perfect defensive moves with out to much pressure and with out getting hit like you would if you attempt new defensive moves in sparring.

boxing is about repetition mate, its the only way you get better. The more you repeat your skills the better they will be.

 

What is being over looked here is the duration - this is key to this type of padwork. We can talk about form all we want, and we all know that our form deteriorates as we fatigue, or we should do anyway! Do you ever wonder why your co-ordination fails during times of fatigue? Ever wonder why you skip so well for 5 minutes, but can't maintain that form after 45 minutes? Ever wonder why you can be so elusive in the first round of sparring, yet you catch every punch with your head in the last round? There is ofcourse, the physical aspect, but the precursor to this is the visual (concentration) aspect. This type of padwork is killing several birds with one stone - you have the combination drilling, the work capacity aspect and the concentration aspect. By overloading the visual system under periods of stress, you are conditioning your visual endurance. I would challenge anyone who hasn't done that type of padwork to do it for twenty minutes straight, and maintain their form throughout the whole twenty minutes.

Fact is, when you are Floyd Mayweather, you know full well that your punch mechanics are pretty much as good as they can get, so the priority in your training is making sure that you can deliver that perfect punch, or be able to slip, shoulder roll, duck, pretty much do everything that you know you can do perfectly, for the whole twelve rounds and do it just as good as you did in the first round - that my friends is all to do with concentration, and this is why Floyd is the most efficient athlete in boxing today.

 

I can see that, but what I mean by bad technique, is small punches and such that he does. It might do good for an experienced fighter but someone who doesn't quite know what they're doing yet it will be bad. Like Raushee Warren fights with his hands down. Is it effective for him? Yeah, but for someone else it might get their **** rocked xD

 

explain why you think you cant fully extend your straight punches when doing mayweather pad routine???


I can tell you have never done this style pad work with your coach.

 

The best thing is to try and see, if you like it, use it, if you don´t, don´t do it. easy as that. Then there is a danger when amateurs or new beginners watch pro´s doing stuff and then try to do the same without all those years of practicing the craft. You might be able to do the same stuff as the top pros does but not after 1 year in the gym.
All the best

Of course not, and funny thing is. My coach trained Mayweather. Think I'm lying? Google Jesse Ravelo.

 

I think this depends on what style the fighter has. Obviously for someone like Ricky Hatton it's pointless! I find it unrealistic.... unrealistic training on my mind can often be pointless training.

Although it obviously works for Mayweather Jr. so it can't be that bad I guess.

 

i still dont get your point, why you think it teaches bad technique and why do you think you cant use proper technical punches doing that mayweather pads?

If your coach has never done this style of padwork with you how can you comment on whether it is good or bad and how would you know if it teaches bad technique if you have never done it.????

dont beleive everything you see on tv boy, cos thats the only place you have seen this style of padwork..
