thats odd i thought that was just the norm for any padwork. My coach adds in some random semi slow jabs and hooks to practice footwork and ducking
Off-topic, but Tim and Tim Jr are good lads! I train in a gym in Surbiton which is near to where Tim lives in the UK, he pops down every now and then - the first time I sparred was actually with him, the second time I sparred was against Tim Jr while he was in the UK just before his most recent fight - think he did 15 rounds in total against 5 or so of us... Bit of a trial by fire but they were definitely kind on me, haha.
