About Fights
and Fighters
BY LEO - LASSEN

TRAINING for a fight is
l. one of the most intensive
forms of athletic training
and there is n usual routine
that the boxers go thru daily
at least two weeks before a
contest.
There is the daily road
work, which is done early in
the morning, usually around
z q. m.
Then there is the gymna-
SUM work in the afternoon,
which consists of skipping
rope, shadow boxing, spar
ring with partners, bag
punching. dummy punching,
and then a series of exer-
cises for strengthening the
stomach muscles. A good
shower and massage wind
up the program for the day.
Each bl, OF the daily grind Is i'm.
portant. and n any part OF It Is
omitted IL VIII tell when the fighter
goes thru the srusling punishment
OF the ring.
Tho running on the road in tho
mornings Is necessary for tho
strengthening OF the wind and legs.
without good wind a fighter cant
last more than a round or two.
without his legs In condition his
footwork Is void. and II he can't
move around In the ring his defense
and attack are both weakened. Rope
skipping also develops the legs and
increases the wind
Shadow boxing is important be.
cause Il IS a session In which various
punches and feinta and footwork can
be pFucticed without an opponent In
front OF the boxer 10 take his mind
off Of his work. This style Of work.
out Increases the boxers speed and
execution and also tho wind.
The actual boxing with a gyrnna.
stun sparring partner Is 20 perfect
Judgment OF distance, which Is 30
important in landing effective
punches.
The strengthening OF the stomach
muscles. which Is done in n series
OF exercises. Is also important be-
cause the other phase Of the train.
Ing doesn't develop tho stomach.
which takes considerable punish.
ment in the average fight.
without the shower and massage
the muscles tend TO stiffen when
they cool. and a boxers muscles
must be absolutely flexible FOR the
right kind OF results.
Training for a fight IL a serious
business. and those fighters who neg
lect the training routine don't get
very far with the padded mittens.
