    that style of pad routine does nothing for me, the trainer's putting more into it than the fighter, its like some sort of clappy game girls do in a playground. can honestly say even when the mayweathers do it i've never been impressed

    yeah that was ridiculous if you watch bam bam the american talent he throws his punches more than this kid, but that was pointless the kid was barely moving his arms although his defensive skills looked good

    The trainer definitely looked like he was getting a better work out.

    Of course it's scripted - it reminded me a lot of a dance routine !!

    The kid looked sharp though.

    Yep so have the bookies stopped taking bets on him actually becoming a world champion? I may bet otherwise if the odds are good.

    didnt ricky hatton say the same thing about the guy who knocked him spark out.

    its a training exercise to improove speed, fitness, agility and reactions. 4 of the most important things to be a boxer.

    Just what I was thinking . Hatton said something like " I could do that for a week solid! " and then found himself getting pepperd and unable to do anything about it.

    Not every workout requires hand breaking heavy bag work

    an open workout or media day is an opportunity to show an opponent what you've got, i just don't find a rehearsed 'routine' very intimidating or impressive. i'm not questioning the merits of any training technique

    Why whould you want to do that ? :huh

    Surely disguising your strengths would make more sense ?

    Pad work like that is a relevant exercise and its good for the cameras because it looks flashy.
