How was an excellent boxer drilled?
font size    

We just watched the one-sided boxing champion showdown between the defending world champion Chris Byrd and the contender Klitschko. Klitschko is so powerful and efficient that Byrd even didn't really have a chance to fire a shot.

"I never hit him, not the way he hit me," Byrd said after that matchup.

Maybe you will think, how did Klitschko do that? How was an excellent boxer trained? The answer is not too far away.

When Klitschko was a child, he exhibited a combination of strength, quick reflexes, and stamina. This demonstrated that he had the natural talent to be a boxer. But that's not enough, he had to go on a extremely strict training.

His coaching was highly advanced, and focused on every aspect to ensure comprehensive preparation. It was said that, some boxing physiologists analyzed each physical element of the punches thrown by a boxer and determined which muscles should be trained individually and in combination to produce maximum power and speed. The trainee sometimes boxed against a mechanical "robot" that was powered by the boxer's movement and threw punches at precise angles to help develop the fighter's defensive reactions.

Under such intensive and advanced training, it is reasonable for a boxer to emerge and shine, so is Klitschko.
