Answer 2

Get Joe Frazier's book "Fight Like the Pros". It's very old school -  no use of weights, all bodyweight/free exercises, roadwork, shadow boxing tips etc. It's  good start even it you move on to moderner training methods later. It's available on Amazon.

And, by the way, in my opinion weights will make you slow and will add weight in the wrong places.

Answer 3

For speed and to get cut you need to lift light weights and do non stop repititions until you cant do any more reps.



just push yourself... this can get you alot of speed.

If you are focusing on accuracy and speed use focus pads, floor to ceiling ball and plenty of combinations...
