    I wonder how much time is actually devoted to stamina/endurance/cardio training by the boxers of today.

    Do they spend most of their time in the gym and do "a little running here and there" and underestimating its importance?

    Good question for 'Ask the Trainer'. I suspect they try to get the cardio differently these days.

    Interesting question because new gens always go on and on about science, technology, sports medicine, nutrition bla bla bla and the results show anything but advancement. In many ways its devolved. Its as if they train for highlight reels and 6 round fights. I doubt a plan B is ever mentioned.
    Its a knockout or bust era. Boxers get ignored or labeled boring. Its asinine.

    Instant gratification. Boxing has become an app on a tablet lol.
