Then at mid-afternoon the regime was as follows:
15 minutes of stretching,
15 minutes of shadow boxing - but not just using my fists; using my feet and body to develop agility,
3 to 6 rounds (of 3 minutes each) on the heavy bag - moving around it; playing with it,
3 rounds (of 4 minutes each) of either sharpening up my jab on my special small punchbag, sharpening up my reflexes on my swungball device, or pad work - I would direct Ronnie where I wanted him to place the pads as I had certain shots in mind I needed to perfect,
6 rounds of skipping (jump rope) - but with no breaks; I would skip straight through the 4-minute clock on the wall,
Then 50 sit-ups followed by 20 hits in the stomach with a medicine ball.

6 weeks out (from a fight), the morning conditioning remained the same but the gym regime changed to thus:
15 minutes of stretching,
30 minutes of shadow boxing,
3 to 12 rounds of full contact, hard-as-possible sparring,
Then skipping, speedball and sit-ups.

Finish 2 or 3 days out, but finish sparring 1 day out. If I trained 1 day more than you, I had a right to win.

U reckon scrap? He had open sessions right? If he was bein truthful a lot of people would no.

We use to help him out with the sparring. Sparring was hard he was always fucked after and do nothing same at the start do 2rds shadow. But as I say the sparring was hard good conditioning work. He wasnt a fast runner there was one time a woman pushing a pram passed him.

Yeah?! What was his padwork l8ike?

He followed me around for a bit,took him on the pads about a dozen times, he was qiuck on the uptake. Actually I love him to bits but could never work with him for any length of time he would driven me crazy, thats probably why I am. Hes a Nobble.

Thats really interesting. He was a sponge for boxing Knowledge but its my opinion that he was limited a little by not really having a trainer.
I particularily dislike the comment
I would direct Ronnie where I wanted him to place the pads as I had certain shots in mind I needed to perfect,

Although you no what, it worked for him, he's twice the fighter im turnin out to be.

What Chris had was self belief in abbundance and he was one hard motherfucker. If he had done lightheavy when he should theres no telling what mite have happened. Technecally he wasnt that good, but the thing that makes great fighters he had Balls. When the going got tuff he got going.

I personally think you're talking out your ass, Scrap.

why

Interesting - I was kinda wondering how anyone could do hard sparring every training for almost the entire 6 weeks out from a comp (if I read that correctly) - I'd have thought it'd wear someone down too much if their sparring partners were able to land much.

What's a nobble?

This was Eubank's way - not for the feint-hearted

He says in New York in the 80's, 'sparring was everything and sparring was fighting'

They would SparHeavy for 2 weeks and it was heavy Eubanks always came second I was always concered for his well being but he said it was okay, Ronnie use to shake his head. Nobble is amusing.

Know who you're speaking to or go post somewhere else.

Who is he?

I won't give you name, but I'll tell you that he's a top notch british boxing trainer that has spent most of his life involved in boxing. When it comes to boxing he's a no nonsense guy. I'm not trying to sound patronizing, but when he has something to say, people listen and it's for a good reason too, the man knows what he's talking about.

Nium, dont worry the wife was telling me the very same thing this afternoon

PM me who he is

...If Scrap wants you to know then he'll tell you dd... ;)

Don't tell him that I told you this, his name is none other than-- RUMPLESTILSKIN!

:D Duhn dun dunnnn...

Two years before championship fights I would train first thing, around 5.30am for two hours. I needed no motivation. I would do stretching, shadow boxing, beach running, more stretching, push ups, sit ups and skipping.

Then start gym work at 2pm or 4pm depending on how I felt. It was no chore for me to train in this time, especially my first year and a half boxing in Britain. One was hungry and needed no alarm clock. One would find himself running to the gymnasium.

The routine in this time was 15 minutes of stretching, 15 minutes of shadow boxing, 8-10 rounds of sparring and 15 minutes of speedball. This would be at King Alfred Leisure Centre, Jack Pook gym or the Matchroom gym.

I would hit the speedball in the way I hit it in New York, I had my own way. If I had no sparring partners, I'd hit the heavy bag and take medicine ball hits. Sometimes Ronnie would take me on the pads and we worked on moves together, each offering ideas. But we clashed so I limited it.

That was seven days a week. I never took a day off training, not even if I was ill or injured, because that was being too much of a temperamental fighter whereas I was dedicated to being consistent. Never cancelled a fight. I'd sometimes be training hard at 5 or 6 in the evening despite having a professional fight the following evening.

I don't know much about Chris Eubank - did he have to retire due to injury by any chance?

No he just got old and retired like every other boxing and losing twice to Carl Thompson probably helped with that retirement aswell.

He retired in Oct '95 and has had five fights since

I know... I mean I like all those fighters... but he's obsessed with them... literally obsessed... I don't understand how you could like someone who isn't you so much that you talk about them this much... ;)
