First you need to decide if you want to be a boxer or a weight lifter. I have a close friend who can bench press 600 lbs as easy as you wuld pick up a pencil...yet, he had to give up trying to be a boxer because the smarter, lighter fighters could slip, dodge, and dance all around him. He had that mind set of getting in that big power punch for the knockout. It never happened. He would slowly get chopped down like a a tree, and end up out of gas gettting a beating. He spent more time in the weight room then the did training in the ring. Would you expect to work out in a weight room and then be put in a basketball game?---same difference

Boxing is not called a science for nothing. If you have not grasped the lessons in why you do warm ups, shadow box, footwork and tactics....you are wasting your time and your coaches time. Did I mention the word dedication? I think you need to go to more boxing matches and see smaller, slimmer guys who are proven boxers, demonstrate their skills against opponents who are larger and stronger then they. I'm not saying weight lifting is a bad thing...nor am I saying being a large fighter with muscles is a bad thing...but the difference is...they learned to box, they listened to their trainers, and they put in the dedication and time to learn the science.
