Champion:

If a boxer is coachable, in condition and concentrates on his boxing,
he will be a champion.
The following is a recommended workout schedule. Remember, don’t just go
through the motions. Work on your fundamentals. Each boxer, depending on
physical makeup, temperament and agility, will develop a style which he feels
comfortable with. Unfortunately, in amateur boxing, due to its short duration, you
may not have time to make your opponent “fight your fight”. In this case, it would
be to your advantage to do what may not normally be your style. In order to be
prepared for this situation, you must work on all three of the following styles when
you are shadowboxing, working the heavybag or the double end bag.
1. Joe Frazier: Going after your opponent, keeping constant pressure on him,
moving in with hands held high, bobbing, weaving and slipping punches. This
style is necessary to develop the skills of a good stick-and-move boxer. DO NOT
punch while you are moving in. This is what the boxer wants you to do so that he
can step back out of your punching range and stick you in the nose with his
educated left jab. Move in, get close and then unleash a barrage of punches.
Constant pressure and not hitting until you are very close to your opponent is key.
2. Muhammad Ali: Boxing, sticking and moving. When your opponent gets set to punch, step back or sidestep
and throw your left jab. His punches should land short and your jab should connect. When your opponent leaves
himself open, fire a quick combination and then get out of his punching range.
3. In and Out: This is probably the most effective of all styles because of the way amateur bouts are judged.
The idea is simple—move in, hit and move out before you get hit. When your opponent moves in, step out of
his punching range and then slide in and hit.
