What yall think about the place of strength and conditionists and nutritionists in boxing? It's a trend nowadays, it seems but many are skeptical about it.

I think nutritionist can have a place especially with fighters who are less disciplined and find harder to make weight cause nutrition is a knowledge that trainers don't always have.

Strength and conditioning on the other hand... every trainer should know that, they didn't need SC coaches when they fought 15 rounds fights (with good stamina, not falling apart even in the 15th round) so why would they need them now? Boxing trainers only focus on the technique, strategy part now but forgot how to make fighters sweat in the gym? I doubt it.

Btw it came up to me because I saw Ortiz looking lean now and he said it's because he ate healthy now.
Yeah it's a tricky thing with boxing. Apart from boxers moving up in weight it's not easy. Ballistics helps with power but that's old school too. Boxers have already been doing more ab work than just about any other sport. More of the Brits and EE fighters seem to use that well. What I like about the EE guys is at the same time in their programming they've done other sports so it helps with general athleticism. Ukrainians especially hence you get coordinated guys. They got unique way of doing it

I feel like aj the underdog in this fight which is crazy, people forget he was whooping Ruiz ass before he gambled on a knockout. He just going to use length and jabs the whole fight if he smart
Yeah but it’s hard to ignore the fact he got completely embarrassed and dominated after Ruiz got up . A Fat Mexican dude breaking Femi’s will like that, I can’t blame Anyone who thinks it’ll happen again.

Yup they're actually pretty trash presentation wise but I haven't ended my subscription because of the things you listed.
Same here. I shytted on them in the survey the sent for holding up the Canelo fight to show MMA also. Fight cards should be over no later than midnight imo. That shyt was still going at damn near 2 cst.

Yeah that was crazy, holding up the Canelo fight cause 2 MMA journeymen beating each other up for some tough guy competition belt on an other channel. :camby:

Absolutely no way more ppl were interested in that than in a Canelo fight.
They might bullshyt about how the numbers rocketed after the MMA fight has ended just to try justify them being hoes and laying down to the UFC unnecessarily. Show them numbers then.

Other than that bs and their commentator team they are good though, probably put on the most high quality matchups in 2019 including the WBSS of course.

Right, people don't go to a boxing match to watch MMA. Im with you tho, if they tighten up the presentation it'll be a much better product. A winning model maybe.
