    Exactly.. Boxing requires rhythm.. don't me he did it for nothing, why would they even create it in the first place? To look cool? People don't box to look like models or show how fast they can hit a ball..

    Not at all.

    Yoga increases flexibility and some strength which helps prevent injury.

    Same as above.

    Not really when it comes to actual boxing.

    Obviously.

    Yup.

    Probably increasing confidence but that's about it.

    Everybody has much to learn. The rhythm of a fight is very different to punching a bag at a constant speed. Like I said earlier, if it's just the rhythm part of it you could just play an instrument and you'll be good at maintaining a rhythm. Everything you listed has carry-over to boxing, physically or mentaly. The speed bag is useless.

    ... I donno bout u but i dont hit instruments to play them, speed bag helps u indirectly.. it is useful and does help if done well, helps me alot. Thanks to that bag im relaxed while sparring, my punches come out with an easier flow also :)
