Big Jeff’s thoughts on training and technique were interesting and insightful and he could never learn enough. For Jeff, it was hunger, in its most literal sense, that was the great spur. When preparing for a fight, he attached great importance to eating and drinking only the required amounts. “A man can dissipate more and hurt himself more by eating than by drinking,” he insisted. Personal takeaways are the powerline running down from the shoulder to the tip of the pinky finger and the corkscrew punch that I'll be using in the future.

McGuinness, James Kevin (March 14, 1925). "A symbol in pugilism". Profiles. The New Yorker. Vol.1, no.4. pp.15–16. By mastering the technique of balance, stance and fist-making, you have the three most important items in boxing under your control.” Mike Hunnicut agrees. “The great lessons of the past are being lost. Now, take the two-hands-high defence. Didn’t anybody tell these guys today that once a kid is able to slip, roll and counter with impunity, his defence will be far more effective? The best way is to master those skills, which then allows you to hold the left hand down – where it should be, where it is most versatile and effective. The hands can then be brought up and around at any time.a b c d e f Pacheco, Ferdie (2005). The 12 Greatest Rounds Of Boxing: The Untold Stories. London: Robson, Trafalgar Square. p.208. ISBN 9781861058058.

Dempsey will go on to demonstrate how to incorporate the concept into every type of punch. A.M. Arrive home. Take a brief sweat-out and shower. Have breakfast of fruit juice, cereal, eggs and milk or tea. You see, the pros of that era worked hard, but they did so wisely. The top trainers knew when to tell their charges to cool it and take the foot off the pedal – and when to up the pace again. There was plenty of work on the most important exercise boxing has ever devised – the heavy bag.

The simple and sagely advice of Nat Fleischer continues to ring out from his little treasure of a boxing manual. “There’s plenty of room for good boxers in this world of ours, and if you start right in with the idea that you’re going to get somewhere, you’ll succeed.old timers did do push ups and pull ups, work with medicine balls, chopping wood, throwing around bales of hay, ect. basically they did primitive versions of what boxers do today, for better or for worse Someone posted a link to an article on this subject in S&C, and I thought it might contribute to the discussion here.

I haven't looked into it specifically, but yeah I heard Ken Norton just did calisthenics. It was common in the 70s. After Ron Lyle got stabbed and was put in solitary confinement, to pass the time he started doing over 1000 push ups a day. Sifu Peterson offers a unique and detailed insight into the entire WSL Ving Tsun Kuen Hok method, exploring the forms, concepts, techniques, and drills as taught by the late Sifu Wong Shun Leung. Other reports, however, failed to mention Willard suffered any real injuries. [31] The New York Times ' account of the fight described severe swelling visible on one side of Willard's face, but did not mention any broken bones. [32] A still photograph of Willard following the fight appears to show discoloration and swelling on his face. [27]I'm not saying doing that kind of extreme high repetition is a good idea though, if only because it takes too much time. Herschel Walker still does over 1000 push ups a day, but has started to supplement that with hand stand pushups. If I could do that many, I would reduce the number and increase the intensity by doing hand stand or tiger bend pushups, or just certain kinds of military presses. Also, instead of doing 1000s of crunches you could probably greatly reduce the number by doing evil wheels, and even less by doing dragon flags. Furthermore, many of today’s boxers fight dumb. They follow their opponents around almost in a straight line. They do not cut off the ring, they fight in a straight-up stance, they hardly ever crouch and they position themselves at a range that is perfect for the opponent to strike. No wonder Muhammad Ali was able to jab his foes so easily, which is not meant as a put-down to Muhammad.” Absolute insistence to follow the rules by those in charge developed an absolute resolution to do so on the part of the fighter. This, in turn, cultivated an absolute will in many cases. So, it seems that an earlier time in our history produced men of greater will and has the advantage here. As a somewhat perverse consequence, we have all become a little softer in mind and body. Gone is the ‘get over it’ attitude of yore when a cloud appears on the horizon. So many people yearn to be pampered and consoled, whether it takes the form of consulting an analyst or blubbing on the evening news because their pet cat died.

Wrestling? Yes indeed. Here was a vital and essential component in the training manual of the great fighters of the past. Jeffries was a very able wrestler, as was Dempsey, who was greatly admired and respected by the great grapplers of his day. Historian Tracy Callis offers us some valuable opinions on this subject. Says Tracy: “Personally, I believe that whatever exercises one does is an aid to the physical well-being of the individual and improves the energy level. So I will not criticise techniques that are utilised to train boxers today.My favourite meat is lamb chops. When other kinds are served me they usually come in the form of boiled dinners, in which they are cooked with many vegetables. Cereals, eggs, cheese and all kinds of salads and ice cream just about make up the remainder of my menu. Historian and film collector Mike Hunnicut has talked to many of boxing’s greatest legends. Over the years, Mike has had countless personal conversations with the likes of Ray Arcel, Teddy Hayes, Cus D’Amato and numerous others. Here is Mike’s take on how standards have slipped: “The main event fighters up to around 1960 tended to be in optimum condition due to the comparatively high rate of scheduled 10 to 20-rounds fights against other main event fighters, in addition to being conditioned by master trainers or excellent trainers at least. This made maximum condition possible.
