he's right tho, i see the same shyt with mma fighters. i remember being at the gym at unlv and seeing the fighters do these nfl combine drill with cones, flipping tires and doing sum silly ass exercises with yoga balls. and im saying to myself, what the fuk does any of that shyt have to do with boxing. u aint gonna learn how to parry, counter, slip or let alone have a good technique doing bringing a yoga ball up and down between your legs while holding dumb bells
i remember james toney talkin bout how he would prepare for fights, which consisted on the speed bag for hand eye coordination, lots of sparring, and sum jope rope and a lil roadwork i believe. he shytted on the punching bag, calling anyone who uses it a "bag beater". all this extraordinary training shyt started when roy was praising mackey shilstone for helping him get in condition to beat john ruiz.
