Virgil Hunter's padwork style

Man, you need to take a break. Go watch Mike doing Pad work with Atlas or Roach , it is full power. Mike always threw power shots on the mids.

Just like the other poster said, you learn it on the pads ,then you try and execute in the ring which is not easy and will take some time. That is common sense for anybody who has ever laced up a pair of gloves. :deal

 

Clearly you do not have a clue what you are talking about. You are mixing things up, you need to take notes from some of us guys.

Technique means shoulders, angles, turn your weight into shots, balance etc

Now, some guys just have natural power, even without proper technqiue .But as you do not know **** like that cause you have never been in the ring.With proper technique,these guys would punch even harder.Go ask your friend Steward about that.

It is almost embarassing to explain you things like that

 

atsch You again moron, yes and other have top notch technique but not that power, thats why its not just technique but it is a big part.
You can have two boxers on same technical level but one punches harder than the other, this is a fact, thats why they say punchers are born not made, because even with technique someone does not have that kind of natural power.
Funny how you say to me thing i actually try to say, that there are notural power punchers and guys that even with tecnique can punch that hard.

 

Mikes pad work with Atlas and Rooney was a tiny bit of his actual training. It is no coincidence he was worse after he left that system. You still don't get it. What Steward was saying is trainers that try and exclusively use the pads don't know what they are doing and are hurting the sport. Roach included. Pad work should be about 10% of your training not 70% like some of these clown trainers today. I posted videos that back these quotes up. All this fancy pad work today is a joke. That isn't how you train and develop a fighter.

 

Why won't you do us a favour and just LOG OFF?

Spreading all this nonsense here througout the last days!You should be banned permanently from this Forum for reasons of blatant incompetence!!!!:deal

 

Ok then you should be banned because you believe in same thing that that some are naturally stronger punchers.atsch As you stated

 

LOOOL. Mike actually learnt his craft on the pads!

Sparring is most important yep. Emanuel made the point that a lot of trainers just hold the pads that do not know **** about correcting fighters on the pads. Nobody ever disagreed with this.

 

it's for both bro...if you pad right, you can use mitts for all kinds of ****.....power, technique, defense, foot work etc etc.....when I mitt my fighters, I like to move around like I'm sparring with them....

 

If you take a boxer that already has excellent technique and power for an example, he's not suddenly going to gain more power just because of hitting pads. Eventually it caps out.

Take a boxer with poor technique, train him how to punch properly and he will gain power.

It's not that complicated. Nobody is saying that a boxer with good technique but doesn't have crushing power is suddenly going to become a ko artist because of pads, they're saying that a boxer with decent power yet poor technique (example being Angulo) can improve their punching power by correcting their form, one way of doing this could be on the PADS!

 

No, he learned his craft though hard sparring without headgear. How do I know this? It is exactly what Rooney said on the video I linked Cus taught him and then he in turn taught Mike that way. Pad work is what has ruined the sport. There are no real trainers out there anymore just a bunch of clowns trying to make youtube videos. It is a joke. Additionally Rooney said they would spend hours on the Heavy bag developing combinations etc. Pad work was a tiny portion of it.

You might want to ask Tony Morgan how holding pads and doing strictly pad work worked out for him and Andre Berto. It got Berto schooled in fights and lost Morgan his job :roflatsch

Then you have idiots on here claiming 'pad work' is how you teach head movement?

You kids are clueless.

 

I remember Henry Cooper saying in his little book of boxing at one point, "if you are fighting a southpaw and can't get a good southpaw sparring partner your trainer should put on pads and spar with you". Now this lines up with what was said earlier, pads is supposed to be a tool that allows the trainer to in effect "spar" with you. Rehearsed movements and patterns ≠ sparring. But that was the old school way of doing it, nowadays people throw the same boring **** on pads over and over and over and over, don't really know what you learn by doing that...its very similar to if you are throwing your stuff on the heavybag, only you are coached every step of the way and your punches are guided into the target (which can be very damaging to a fighters concept of range)

 

I dont think any trainer I know or have ever known or known of has ever used pads exclusively.
