Roadwork is always the main aspect of being a warrior. Great empires weren’t build in rings, they shed blood on battlefields, mastering the art of hit and run, and endurance for hunger, harsh weather conditions and inhumane fatigue.
Road work is to condition your mind by pounding miles..also for heart health ..All those fast twitch muscles , trained in the evening boxing sessions .morning routine is to prepare u for the rest of ur day and to have a strong heart n mentality.old timers knew what they were doing .

The two most important things for a fighter in camp are running and sparring. There are plenty of excellent conditioning tools/drills out there but running will always be number 1 for conditioning.
Running is indeed fantastic for conditioning. I certainly found that running benefitted my jump rope conditioning as well as mentioned in this video which you might enjoy: ua-cam.com/video/jnnGwF-QC3c/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TheWayoftheJumpRope
The best way to prove that running is important is beating your opponent and teaching them that way. When your weakness is shown in the ring, you never forget it.

Very cool. Glad you enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun making it. I once had a boxing book that contained the workouts of a hundred or so well-known boxers. They all sure did a lot of running.
Hey Joshua, I wish I could tell you. I read the book over 20+ years ago, and moved several times since then, so no longer have the book. It was a great read though. While there were a few boxers from many decades ago who ate low carb high fat diets, a lot of the boxers ate moderate to high carbs. For instance, I remember many doing a fasted early morning run, followed by a meal on oatmeal, fruit, and maybe a protein like eggs, dairy, fish, or beef. After this, many of the boxers, took a rest and those that woke up to run particularly early would even go back to bed. Later in the day, they trained at the boxing gym, either with or without having a snack or meal shortly an hour or so beforehand, like fruit, or pasta with a protein. In the evenings, a lot of them ate a protein plus veggies and some added plenty of starches to the meal. Hope that helps.

Running on the road, a track, AND a treadmill are all very beneficial with some differences. Treadmill lets you work heavy on your pacing and perfecting your breathing. Street gets you in the elements and is the most practical. Track you can test your speed in optimal conditions

Everybody always praises road work for fighters yet every person who is a so-called trainer tells their fighters do the exact opposite of what every fighter since the 1800s is done. Road work is not sprints it’s not fartlek training it’s not hit training or intervals! running for fighters is an always has been steady state running or traditionally call jogging for between 3 to 5 miles and if any trainer or any so-called strength and conditioning coach tells the boxes to do anything different go find another gym or a real trainer (Which is almost impossible these days) A picture is worth 1000 words just watch how these guys run
From the dawn of the time if there’s one undisputed fact from the days of the hunter gatherer/cavemen to the days of the modern day professional fighter it’s this: All warriors run.
Ali ran in military boots so he could be light once he took them off. can any one tell me where I can ones like those or which boots I could use for running
@@josipmarevic1964 That's because running takes real dedication. Running 5+ miles is no easy feat and it makes these new trainers uncomfortable. That's exactly why if they ever tried their hand at a ring they wouldn't have the endurance to make it past round 2.
@@Daniel_WR_Hart All the legends ran. James Toney is the best fighter that I know of that almost exclusively sparred in training and neglected running as much as he should have. As legendary as his skills, capability and career turned out to be, his workrate and endurance were spotty from time to time as opposed to someone like Marvelous Marvin Hagler who never compromised the running.
@@Daniel_WR_Hart Because running is the best way of gaining and incorporating great quantities of oxygen in an harmonious way. It is an excellent aerobical activity. Apart from that, those figthers work the resistance and coordination of legs.
Hi Andrew, I ve read that Fury is considered something of an heavyweight Mayweather. Yet his skipping footwork is quite unnoticeable compared to most boxers'. Liston had an impressive size too but his skipping was crisp and smooth. Do you think Fury’s boxing footwork is on paar with the best heavyweights' (Ali, Tyson, …)? I am clueless when it comes to boxing
Tyson Fury is a big individual, height and weight, and moves quite well especially given his size. Many heavyweights of yesteryear had great footwork and agility and were smooth with a jump rope. Look at footage of other heavyweights past and present, Tyson, Ali, etc., and see what you think.
Hey Rolando, I think there is certainly some truth to that. I used to live near a running track and when the weather was fine, the place was packed, but when it rained or the temperatures were cold, it was often a ghost town.

I'd say there's a good bit of variety between fighters and even depending on a given day for a fighter. Some days they likely do the miles faster or slower than others. They're often in such good shape, even when it looks like they might be moving slowly, they're actually covering a good distance in a good time.
Running is great conditioning and I've heard others echo your view that it's perhaps less emphasized than decades past when it comes to combat sports conditioning.
Editors got to stop putting cheesy musics on boxing video, almost none on youtube have a music that fit with the video, almost none, except for showtime boxing ✌️
All boxers have to do their road work. That's how the engine is built. No shortcuts.

And all these guys had some pretty intense jump rope routines.
Like which type of routine
I know that Manny Pacquiao jump 1h to 1h30 every single day ( which to me is insane, when you know all the other thing he is doing on the side. )
Great video - I can watch boxers run all day . You know who put it in hard doing road work - Kelly pavlik surprisingly .
DMX- One more Road to cross is a perfect background song for this video. But this was a great video.

You have to run....it's part of the gig
This was great to watch, thanks man.
Excellent video. Inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Great to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
notice how most pro boxers or that became pros mostly never used a treadmill but instead ran outside?
Because it’s harder…most of these dudes ran in the cold at 5am
It’s easy to use a treadmill in a air conditioned gym
Roadworks is very different to the treadmill.

Liston had an impressive size too but his skipping was crisp and smooth. Do you think Fury’s boxing footwork is on paar with the best heavyweights' (Ali, Tyson, …)?

Its ridiculous to compare anybody's footwork with one and only Muhammad Ali.
Does that mean I can become world 🌍 boxing 🥊 champion 🏆if I practice the way they run 🏃? I’ll try it anyway!
:-)
My only issue is some of these boxers said they were running 6 minute miles but I know damn well they aren't running that fast of a pace.
:-) That's a pretty fast pace alright
Probably a 6 minute mile, but when you’re running 6 miles, probably a 9-10 minute per mile pace
I only run in construction boots should see the looks I get 😂😂😂

Bro Oscar looks like Ryan García at a young age lol
Are we sure they're not related?
James Toney?

Gymbros say jogging is not worthwhile lol
They never had to fight for 12 rounds
Anybody who does run, doesn't fight or knows how to build a fighter's engine. No shortcuts.
I loke how the always be talking to themselves when they run.
Where did they run anyway?? there's no cars or stuff like that . The place I am from the road is filled with cars
A lot of them have camps outside city limits. So basically they ran in the outskirts or in the suburbs.
They run in the woods, deserts and really early in morning
If you lose your legs, you lose your fight.
Believe me running on roads seems fun but not for your joints
