    Hi Ciara17.

    I haven't posted on here in some time, but I will try and answer your question.

    But first of all, at what stage are you i.e. how much experience do you have?
    I don't want to insult you if you are an experienced boxer, but as a caution I will approach this as if you were a complete beginner.

    In boxing, the most important aspect of you training is the technique of boxing itself. (Second place I would say is conditioning and endurance.)
    Strength, speed, agility and other aspects of athleticism will only enhance the skillset you have and cannot compensate for whatever technical deficiencies a boxer may have.

    Maximal strength is not paramount to a boxer's skillset, as maximal strength often avails of the slow-twitch muscle fibres to grind out heavy movements.
    Power is more valuable: to have the ability to explode with your movements, whether it be your footwork or your punches.
    Finally power endurance is the ability to perform strong-explosive movements over a prolonged period of time e.g. in a fight situation.


    So... to address your question: Maximal Strength is developed first, which then can be transformed into power and improved further into explosive power.
    Strength - the base of the pyramid - is developed using heavy compound movements which strengthen the body as a whole.
    Typical exercises include:

    Squats,
    Deadlifts,
    Benchpress,
    Pushups
    OH Press,
    Pullups

    To begin with exercises are not sports specific - you just try and build a better vehicle with which you learn to box.

    If Donny's doesn't get you results there are a few others you can try.
    Buy referee.
    Fight exclusively at home.
    Have relatives become judges.
    Mix the black bottle.
    Take lining out of gloves.
    Or simply add plaster!



    Cheers!
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    can you get into a boxing ring and circle to your left? all of your boxing knowledge will begin when someone teaches you how to circle to your left - how to do it, and how to stop someone from doing it to you.

    Circle to you left?
    As in directly into the right hand of an orthodox opponent.

    Yuzo stop. Please, just stop.

    I can only assume you're trolling at a really high level.

    Because nobody teaches a beginner to move toward the opponent's power.
