Is it possible to not get tired after 15 rounds?

Question

like how much would i have to run every day?

Answer 1

All depends on the pace you set. I can remember the 80's when there were still 15 round bout and it was the age of the fat, lazy heavyweights. They'd often lumber and clinch and waddle their way to the final bell.

Answer 2

I'm only a boxing fan, not a boxer but it seems to me there are two types of boxers tired after 15 rounds.  Ones that can't throw a hard enough punch so then expend all their energy flailing around trying to connect.  It doesn't matter what kind of shape you are in, if you throw 30 "all I've got in them" punches a round, you are going to be tired

No matter how great a shape you are in, if your opponent is able to work your body every round you will be tired if not down by the 15th.

Ali was able to extend his career due to his speed in avoiding being hit.  His rope a dope allowed him to conserve his energy.  Of course he had to back that up with some very fast fists that could lay just enough leather on to keep the fight in his favor.

Ali's methods would not work for 99.9999% of todays fighters, indeed most refs won't cut you that much slack.

Hopefully real boxers will be answering you soon, and my guess is that running is, at most, half of what you need to do to maintain stamina.

Hit em, hurt em, don't get hit, don't get hurt you won't be tired.

Good luck.

Answer 3

no. you will get tired after 15 rounds. don't worry about that just focus on conditioning. if you want to get good at boxing you need to go to a boxing gym.

btw just a side note the most a fight will ever go is 12 rounds and that is only at the top level of professional fighting

Answer 4

A very good question you've posted in deed.  I have a rare response as well!  In all my years in boxing as a pro, amateur and now observer, I've only watched one fighter who never seemed to get tired before and up to 15th round and could probably go 15 more after that.. He being the late "Salvador Sanchez" who died tragically well before his time.. I'm pretty sure that he was a feather-weight Champion back in the days when title-bouts were in fact 15 rounds!! Much praise and respect goes out to him for all that he contributed to the sport of boxing..He is not forgotten and those who truly know boxing and were around the game during that time, can surely understand who and what I'm talking about. I think he died in car car accident, as did former light-heavy weight, Argentine Champion, Victor Galindez.  The 70's...now that was an incredible decade for  boxing ! I'm sure he had an incredible work-out routine that must have included some serious road-work. You might also attribute his unbelievable condition while boxing, to genetics???....

Answer 5

It doesn't matter... you will never go fifteen rounds. Now, if you are in a championship bout, you'll only go twelve.

However, to answer your question... it is very unlikely that you could be anything but tired after 15 rounds. Some boxers, like Mayweather Jr, could probably go 15 rounds and not be tired... but that is due to their style and slow work rate and their excellent conditioning.

If you want to approach 15 rounds, you'll want to do what is called "high intensity interval training," not running for miles and miles. Running for distance doesn't lend itself to the type of endurance necessary for a boxing match and is mostly a holdover from when training for boxing was more of a tradition than a science. It might be good for losing weight before a match, but thats about it.

For HIIT, you work very hard for a few minutes, rest for a short time, and keep working. Sometimes you don't even rest.
