    Thats right, by just sparring 12 rounds. Theres nothing like sparring I dont care how far you run or how much gym work you do, nothing prepares you for the ring like sparring.
    Toney would show up at the gym and spar with anyone. That being said running would have made him a better fighter, because he had a false sense of security knowing he could go 12, because he was so fat he couldnt throw a straight punch anymore. His last couple fights were a disgrace.

    Not that Im a former champion, but I logged a lot of rounds and I hated doing roadwork. I always had terrible shin splints, and running just killed me. I had to use Absorbin JR just to keep them numb enough to make it through a workout.

    snooker ace ronnie o sullivan does. he reckons it really helps his depression. i used to like doing long distance running one time but i now do HIIT sprinting instead

    HIIT helps release HGH. is 10x more effective at raising the metabolism and doesnt burn muscle

    i lost a **** load muscle round the thighs doing long distance running
