What Do You Do Different To Everyone Else?

[RayKelly]

I'm a big believer in mixing things up, and there are many skills that need to be honed for boxers. I thought it might be interesting to hear what others do in their training sessions that might be a little different to most.

Here's a couple of things I like to throw in:

1. Agility/Footspeed Drills: I like to throw this in as part of the warm up. There are many drills so you can change it up every few weeks to keep it interesting.

2. Spatial Awareness: I think this is important in most sports but even more so in boxing. As a fighter is throwing and dodging punches, it's important that the fast movements don't throw off his ability to know where his target is.

Neck training.
Rotational core training.
Beard training.

One of the above is untrue.

my conditioning all comes from sparring. I hardly ever run and I will ride my bike maybe once a week for a couple miles, but in the ring I can go round after round without feeling it in my legs or lungs at all.

No need to point that out. Everyone knows you can't train your neck.

[Boxaholic]

agility & sprints
neck work
heavy rotational work
handspeed drills
peripheral vision/reflex training (my eyesite isn't up to par so I pretty much have to)

Most people do some or all of that. I think the peripheral thing is something rarely done though.
