Conditioning for AM boxing?

[Salty]

What I'm trying to ask all the time is:
What does it matter if you're tired after those 3 rounds or not? THE FIGHT IS OVER!
And ofc I know you can do the running + intense training. But can't you just better replace the running by more intense training then? Because that's what I meant with a waste of time.

And what the **** I can't even dispute the replies I get? I'm supposed to accept everything even if I don't understand it or when I think it's ridiculous?

You asked a question and I replied, have you ever seen an AM fight before? Fight conditions are much different to sparring, a lot more intense. The difference will be that the one doing more conditioning will be performing near max their potential for some who is not conditioned to fight. What way you condition is up to you and since you seem that you know it all why don't you tell us champ?

Hmm I really like how you explained that.

Is that serious or sarcastic? Hard to judge over the net.

Hmm I really like how you explained that.

DA1, your a well conditioned decent amateur, do you run long distance?

if i was fighting AM i would train way harder then i do now, i can fight 3 rounds fairly easy but my legs tend to give so im flat footed by mid 2nd round but since i started running (which i just started doin again because its summer) my legs are getin stronger so i'd run 3 miles(or more) a day if i had a fight coming up

Don't start like that. If I knew I wouldn't ask. I'm simply questioning response. I just want a solid reason why long distance running is good. I still don't understand why someone who can easily go on for 15 rounds would be better in the first 3 rounds than someone who is trained for only 3 rounds.
You're using the words "contioned to fight"... Someone who is trained for only 3 rounds is still conditioned to fight in AM so once again I don't understand what you mean.

And to azza,
No I don't know the answer but I'm just questioning your response. I don't want to know who does what but I want to know WHY it will help. And just saying someone trained for more rounds will have a higher level of fitness is way to abstract. I want more of a scientific explenation. And it deffenately won't train me mentally as I currently don't even believe it will help me fysically.

Atm it's the same like someone constantly asking in the mideaval times: why does everyone think the sun revolves around the earth? And people would answer: because everything revolves around us. over and over and over. Then the person asking still doesn't know **** because it could be just as well not be true. (because its not scientifically but just an asumption)

I don't want to act like a prick who thinks he knows everything. The truth is I know ****, but I just want a clear reason and not just a statement.

to tell you the truth i dont really run. i do before a fight but not everyday or even every other day. i just try to get as tired as possible during boxing. i go extra hard on the bag etc to make sure im dead tired by the end.
i think it is overrated, especially considering how short the fights are. it definately helps, but going all out during real boxing should be able to ensure you can last those 3 rounds. although ive yet to go past the 1st round in my fights, i think id be alright.

Anything that doesnt kil u only makes u stronger.
Running is a must if you wana be sucessful it strengthens your legs so you can be on your toes more when your boxing.
You can run and sprint at the same time like i do on my run you dont have to just do one or the other.
It gets your body fat down to so your in good condition and it helps your endurance and helps your mentally.

running, especially interval running will burn calories and help you shed that weight.

if you don't need to drop weight, i see what you're saying. but running everyday is as much about discipline and routine as it is about building stamina and leg strength. like other people said, it won't hurt you.

sparring is really the only way to judge where your stamina is at as far as boxing goes.

I've got a different view on this than what's been presented so far. The thing is, to build up a peak conditioning, you go through different training phases. First you have your basic training, which consist of longer runs, circle training with longer intervals (ex. 60/60), and other heavier endurance stuff.
Then as your basic conditioning is improving, you switch to shorter, more intensive intervals, sprints instead of distance running, and also more specific technical stuff, mitts, sparring etc.
The final week before peaking for a big tournament, you do short, intensive mitt work, 5/25 intervals of explosive bagwork, and other technically inclined speedwork.
Do it like that, and you should be all set to be in peak condition for a big fight.
So, to answer the question, long distance running has a place in a training program for am fighting. You don't train the same all the time, and you don't start out with the intensive work, right off the bat. You need to go in cycles, that'll have you peaking at the right time.

I never run long distances , my coach says i should but i just do spinning, 3 min as fast as i can and 1 min rest. i do this 3 times a week for 15 mins each day and my condition has inproved greatly.
