Just watch Tyson train when he was under D'Amato if you want to learn upper body movement.

Thanks Scrap. I've been looking for way to train that incorporates my shoulders more. My trainer Joe Byrd says that he'll get us in the ring some time and swing a towel at us to help work on upper body movement as you see for yourself at the end of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM5dXhUTvvg
Anyways I tried what you're saying about shadowboxing in knee pads. It feels a little awkward moving around like that. I'm not yet sure if it changes my upperbody movement at all. Is there something more that I need to do when I'm shadowboxing like that?

With the Towel Chris, put a knot in it, it will move quicker. Ill get the other thing up on vid it explains it better.

I could really use that video.

About the towel, I remember before you talked about a drill where you'd have a partner who's holding two towels with knots at the ends trying to hit your body. I bet those knots can hurt a little if you get that towel moving fast enough. I'm going to tell a friend about it. So far we've been practicing rollling to black imaginary bodyshots, but without a towel you aren't able to develop the the responses.

Me and my brother used to use football scarf's with a tight double knot, the length was perfect.

Hmm,I knew a girl ....nevermind.Its the front page .But we used to do something similar practicing verts and bailing on a half pipe.Maximizes flexibility,crouching in tight spots when you really needed it.
