Coli Boxers,

Any tips for keeping your elbows from flaring out (chicken wings) when throwing punches?

I'm trying to get more fluid when doing heavy bag work.

tuck your chin in and hold a tenndis ball inbetween your chin and chest then box. It'll force you to tuck in your chin and naturally raise your shoulders, so your punches will be released at a higher point(properly covering your right and left ear. get your feet pointed at the target (without squaring up your shoulders) and your punches should come out straight w/ more force

Mares vs Ponce De Leon on 4/20

That boy Mares stay taking tough fights

Sohh, Daniel Ponce De Leon is a tough fight for Abner Mares, but when Adrien Broner fought him....he was just a bum?

Yet another 2013 boxing postponement. Heavyweight Chris Arreola has reportedly pulled out of the March 9 WBC eliminator against Bermane Stiverne citing to bronchitis. The bout will be rescheduled for the third time.

What a year...

other coli boxers speak on this technique please
btw it hurts like a motherfukker (unless you've been training for a while) bc you will develop muscles in your neck back and shoulders you didn't even know you had lol. This also helps keep your head in balance, and if your head is in balance=most power possible

shyt is pissing me off


Peterson is easily the most skilled dude in the division including Garcia, and he look like a completely different animal than his usual vs ****, roids or not. Matthysse better duck this fight if he was smart, he struggled and lost to a Zab Judah that was shot for 10 years, even Carlos Baldomir made easy work of Zab, thats all people need to know about Lucas, I like him, but he's about to be fed to a beast.

Honestly I dont know what GB is thinking with the thought of this match

Let me tell you something man, a lot of success my son has had is because he didn't change with times. My son never went and got all these conditioning coaches and all this shyt, man. Floyd work hard, he puts the work in when he's in the gym, and he does his road work. His training is oldschool; he spars. These guys today flipping tires and cutting trees and shyt, man, come on man. That shyt don't have nothing to do with boxing. So it won't change what we are doing at all, man. Not one bit"

nikkka leave boxingscene alone, too many fukkin trolls over there. i stopped posting when someone said pac would kill hearns, sweet pea, and leonard.

it's a 50/50 fight imo. i like the fact peterson took **** before heading into the lucas fight. im not the biggest fan of lamont, but i love his bodywork, he' don't get enough credit for it. he can be slick as well on the inside with that counter right. lamont is no means a walk in the park for lucas, pete obviously loves to bang but he can box as well.

Floyd Sr.

he's right tho, i see the same shyt with mma fighters. i remember being at the gym at unlv and seeing the fighters do these nfl combine drill with cones, flipping tires and doing sum silly ass exercises with yoga balls. and im saying to myself, what the fuk does any of that shyt have to do with boxing. u aint gonna learn how to parry, counter, slip or let alone have a good technique doing bringing a yoga ball up and down between your legs while holding dumb bells


i remember james toney talkin bout how he would prepare for fights, which consisted on the speed bag for hand eye coordination, lots of sparring, and sum jope rope and a lil roadwork i believe. he shytted on the punching bag, calling anyone who uses it a "bag beater". all this extraordinary training shyt started when roy was praising mackey shilstone for helping him get in condition to beat john ruiz.
