Not good. Not bad. Just pointless.

I think the pads are great for marrying footwork with power punching, but highly choreographed flashy routines? That only helps sell fights.

 

If it's not choreographed then how can he be hitting the pads without even looking?

 

It's Not Choreographed, Roger even has his son doing it ( Not sure how to embed): [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnFLVPgx9XU[/ame]

 

I use the Mayweather padwork on my fighters and they find it very helpful. Why? Because you get a good workout when you know how to do it properly.
It contributes to building stamina/conditioning (especially the shoulders), faster reaction times, punching/combination fluidity, builds alertness and punching accuracy. This of course is incorporated into our usually power combinations padwork. The difference to how we do it is we incorporate more foot movement/angles as oppose to staying in one spot for most of the round.

The punch combinations I do are not choreographed. I make the combination calls while they listen and react accordingly. Its a continuous process. And as the saying goes "repetition is the master of skills"

3-4 rounds of this sort of pad work is sufficient for those beginning out. I've shown it to a select few seasoned boxers and they could barely handle 3 rounds when I push them at full speed.

Will it benefit those who try it? I think so. There's always a beneficial element of this unique style of pad work that can be taught and applied if shown correctly. In sayng that, its good to be creative and try new things suited to your fighters style of fighting.

The ones who usually critique this type of pad work are usually those who don't know how to do it or a to stuck in the old ways of training. As a trainer I never stop learning and always looking at new training methods to give my fighter a competitive edge.

 

THE TRAINER IS DOING ALL THE WORK! Anyone that cannot do 3 rounds of this **** has no place in a boxing ring.

 

Im guessing your one of the ones who don't know how to do either punch or hold the pads :roll:

 

Depends on your fighting style. :bbb

 

True story

 

Check out coach rick's vids on youtube, he has a few tutorials.

 

how come no one has mentioned
that with this pad work

the guy punching is not really punching
the pad is meeting him half-way

so he does not even fully extend his punch
a guy will not meet your punch half way with his face.

this pad work has lots of good in it
but the above mentioned is a huge flaw
which may get a fighter used to not fully extending his punches

 

Your poem doesn't rhyme.

 

I couldn't really say much on it, the guy on the pads must know what he's doing as a trainer. From there he can use any technique he ****ing likes as long as the fighter and trainer have the connection and the lessons are in relation to boxing and not tap dancing

 

I detest that style, its so soft and unrealistic.
