The truth

[BrooklynBomber]

I know what you are talking about, I also would like to say that my breakthrough in boxing came when I was able to direct my punches with my footwork, at that point I did not have to think about what punches to throw anymore, I just had to pick the spot and see an opening and the punches went smoothly and fluidely.

gracias mi hermano, i dont work for the gov i work for Ring Telmex. Telmex with the WBC are supporting 20 mexican boxers and i am one of the trainers. the gym i go to sometimes is Gimnasio Nuevo Jordan in Col. Centro. that is where i took the pic in my av

Wow!! Savon, my friend Oscar Valdez (2008 world junior champion) gets paid under that telmex system (i don't know if call it a system) but he trains in the comite olimpico mexicano.

If that people from Telmex hired you that means you are a great trainer. I am impressed, man, i didn't know you was part of that.

You train Carlos Cuadras??

just wanted to add some more information on how important shadowboxing really is for the development of a boxer this information is from a thread on how kevin rooney trained mike tyson.

Kevin Rooney quote on shadowboxing:
"Cus had a problem when fighters only approached shadowboxing as a warming-up exercise, which was literally all of 'em! What they do is - they simply go through the motions, f*** around doing f*** all, stab at the air, before moving onto the so-called real workout on the bags. But once you are in the ring, you will be confronted by different opponents who will use different styles and techniques. If you've already seen this guy, played these situations out and predicted your reactions as you shadowboxed, that puts you one step and one punch ahead of your opponent. Think in terms of combination punching - it's how big, heavy guys like Floyd Patterson and Mike Tyson got their hands moving quick as f*** and their combinations flowing like f*** - without the resistance of a bag or the impact of hitting an opponent to affect your punches, it's shadowboxing that is the time to concentrate on the importance of throwing more than one shot at a time. Taking this approach will create a good habit of punching in combinations. It will also help you to become more fluid in your delivery and create better balance between your footwork and hand activity. Do not throw a meaningless punch, without an opponent to fend off or a bag to react to, you have the time and clear thinking to concentrate on the punches you throw. Throwing a lazy jab or a slapping right hand out doesn't help you in the ring, so do not do it in training."

the reason people telagraph thier punches is because they are thinking about the punch and then tense up to try to throw that punch,

This is the truth. Good thread.
