Question
I have been boxing on and off for 3 years now and been smoking ciggarettes. Is there cetain training techniques that i can use to help my lungs recover faster and so that i can increase my stamina. I am also trying to build a boxing ring and would like to know the cheapest way of doing this
please help
Joe,
There is not really an easy way to build a ring that I know of. The cheapest ring is a floor ring. You can get these off of ringside.com
Running is the best way to increase your lung capacity. Jumping rope on rainy days. Giving up the cigerettes will be the biggest change for you. You'll never get to the advanced level of boxing if you smoke because your lungs can't get enough oxygen and your weight is too hard to manage. Try to ween yourself off them.
good luck,
Jackson

I can answer any questions related to boxing and training. I can help anyone prepare for professional or amateur bouts. My trainer/boss of 24 years is in the Golden Gloves Hall of Fame and trained the heavyweight champion of the world. Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Taylor, Billy Bridges, Frankie Randall just to name a few of the boxers who have passed thru the Southerns and/or trained at our gym.
Experience
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
Organizations
I am a certified Golden Gloves/USA Boxing Coach. I am also a licensed to work pro bouts in several states.
