Marbella
Re: Marbella
do boxers go there to be isolated from distractions/ppl at home, or is it cheaper there, good altitude, etc
Re: Marbella
MTK have their gym there.
There's a lovely long jog along the Malecón, plus mountains next door for serious hill work.
Also easy for smuggling drugs from Africa
Re: Marbella
Meant to be an away camp for MTK but too many distractions in Marbella.
Re: Marbella
Like mentioned, lots of good running and mountains out there and home of the mtk boys

Re: Marbella
It can't be so that they're isolated from distractions because Marbella is 'Little Britain', but with a lot better weather, so they're bound to be recognised.
It's also major tourist hotspot for everyone else in the world too, so not ideal for seclusion.
Re: Marbella
I guess it makes a nice change to train in the sun, and to have a laugh with the other boxers (as well as getting away from the Mrs for a week or so).
The boxers can walk around the town as if they are gangsters, and the gangsters can walk around the town as if they are boxers.

If you want to make money, bet against them once they are living out there.

Re: Marbella
I don't believe that it is being in Marbella that is the reason at all, if a fighter is dedicated enough then they will be able to go over and train properly without getting caught up in all the other stuff that goes down over there.TheLeprechaun wrote: ↑28 Jun 2018, 07:16 If you want to make money, bet against them once they are living out there.
