So our bodies are conditioned to think that you go hard when you've been sweating and working for two hours prior.
So now he and his son warm up really hard on the mitts about an hour before the bout for 15-20 minutes and then just stay warm and move until the bout to try to get started earlier. So far it's been working pretty good for him.
