ok fair enough, thats makes sense. Thanks Scarp.

I'm guessing once you build the ability to do a task blinded (in our case box) you will no longer be reliant on the sense of sight which is the one slowing you down even when ur eyes are open.

I guess I should try shadowboxing with my eyes closed and see how that goes.. I just dont want to be the new kid that looks like he thinks he's the shit, boxing with his eyes closed.

Now, I see how this will really help speed up ur offence.. Do you have any tricks up ur sleeve (that ur willing to share) to sharpen reflexes in defense? I know a lot of it is just being able to read ur opponent and anticipate the shots, but there's gotta be a way to improve reaction time when you see a punch coming towards you, no?
