Its a load of crap if you ask me, emulating having 2.5-5kg hands, how is that boxing specific? over using all sorts of muscles that really arent required to throw a good shot? resistance is good but the majority of the resistance is in the wrong direction due to gravity in this case, theres much better ways to add resistance to the trigger muscles of a shot.

Thats just how i see it, i do see lots doing weighted shadow boxing so maybe they get somthing from it that im not aware of, all i see is a bad feel and drilling poor technique i find it hard to see the benefits of it outweighing the cons.
