what do you think of enzo calzaghe's unusual training techniques?

he doesn't have warm ups in his gym, its straight to work when the fighters arrive.

no tapering down, intense workouts all the way till the day before the fight.

no jump ropes allowed in his gym! he thinks its a wast of time and that fighters use jump rope as a way to take rest while looking busy.

pad work similar to roger mayweather where he slaps his gloves on his fighters hands.

no/little sparring in preparation for a fight, and when he does let his fighters spar its always against each other.

_________________________________________

although enzo has had success i believe his methods are alittle flawed, enzo calzaghe has never fought before, he doesn't know what its like to not taper down before a fight and not have warm ups before training, i also think he doesn't recognize the importance of jumping rope, sure he made joe calzaghe but joe calzaghe would have been where he is at even without enzo.

 

bag work, padwork, sprints, sprints on stairs, punches with a resistance bands.

if you go on youtube and search something like 'joe calzaghe training' or 'maccarinelli training' you'll see the pad work.

 

at the end of the training session they all go out and play football (soccer) for an hour or so.

 

my sources are a few youtube clips and the macca-haye fight promo where the presenter guy goes to both camps and watches them train.

am i the only one who watched haye - macca?

 

the training looks very intense no doubt, its just the no warm up and no tapering that seems alittle weird.

 

actually it looked pretty intense, its like a punch out but with resistance bands which is tied on a bracket thingy.
