Question
I have been training for a while and recently i sparred for 2 rounds. After being in the ring for about 2min i was completely exausted and not really able to preform well. I was wondering what i could do to really boost up my endurance so that i dont get tired as fast.
thank you
Joe,
Running is the name of the game. You have to get in at least 3 miles 3 days a week and follow with 5 to 10 50 yard sprints. On the bad weather days jump rope for 30 minutes. It just takes a little time to develop.
Also, learn to pace yourself for 3 minutes on the bag. Treat it like a sparring round. You want to punch enough to win rounds but you can't go hard the whole round or run to much, be conservative but busy.
good luck,
Jackson

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.
