Makes a lot of sense. You have to be careful about what habits you form in training.coneye wrote: ↑18 Nov 2017, 20:19 Frampton looked good early , got tired and went into bad habits , which looking at it were all feet related , he went square on , was off balance especielly when he got the knock down ,, Whats behind it , my opinion is PADS , don't get me wrong i'm a firm beliver in lots of pads , but pads should be moving , stand in fornt with your pads open encourging a 4 punch hard combination is great looks good , makes the trainer feel good , boxer can think Yey i nailed it ,, but truth is they may has well hit the bag .
And especielly when the trainer is a bigger man and can absorb the blows , then its a set 4 , trainer moves and another set 3 or 4 ,, except in a fight it don't happen the opponent is moving and does'nt stand still , I watched Frampton and Jamie on pads , Thats where Frampton is learning to square up and lose his footwork , padwork with a smaller guy who is contiually moving , forward , backward and sideward , in out side to side , with jamie calling whats needed from the side is more the way to go ,,,
Suppose lots will disagree , but after 50 odd years of being involved in boxing i believe pads are the best tool available to a trainer , but only if used CORRECTLY
Though I think it was also just being undertrained.
