Conditioning is only a part of boxing. Don't place all your faith in your strength and conditioning programs. You still need to know how to control the distance, catch punches, and set traps. Boxing is a skillful sport.

I stress progression over perfection. Boxing is a skill just like any other sport. It takes time. We make sure we get our reps in.

The ability to 🧠is a skill - keep that in mind the next time someone says a guy is going to win because he's "bigger" or "stronger". We get our mental reps in when we train, I promise you things are done differently around this way 🎮🥊🧠 -2ndsout.

Your base is home to everything. Balance, power, speed, agility, defense. We do everything from our base that's why we drill it relentlessly. Ask any of my fighters and they will immediately let you know it's no nonsense around these parts. 🥊 🧠 🎯 🎮.

It doesn't matter if your opponent hits harder, has a higher work rate, or is faster than you, if you can outwit him then that's the best advantage you'll have. 🧠🥊 Be smart. You'll have a better outcome.

Light drum work. This is more mental than it is physical. Decision making since being "faster" or "stronger" doesn't guarantee success.

Speed, footwork, power and size all become less important at a high level in 🥊. The word “smart 🧠” should be used more frequently in all sports. Tom Brady for example - isn’t the most athletic, strongest, fastest or biggest QB to play the game. In fact, none of those adjectives would probably be used to describe his greatness. It’s his mind and decision making abilities that allow him to consecutively dominate. Boxing is no exception 🥊🎯 and Shakur understands this. When you understand that, you’ll start to see the fight game differently.

If your method works on a white belt then your method is unproven. Test your method and see if it works on a black belt. The best operate on a black belt level.
