How to Improve Your Boxing Rate

If you're a competitive boxer, you know that the lower body must produce massive amounts of force quickly. Then, the hips, shoulders, and core need to be strong and mobile to transfer that force into a punch. Finally, the arms need to be mobile to deliver the fist effectively towards the target. While these components are all important for a proper boxing technique, tightness and dysfunction at different parts of the kinetic chain can compromise force transmission and increase the risk of injury. As such, it's important for boxers to train these parts of the body.

The most recognizable fight on a card is the main event. There are several types of boxing matches, including welterweight and bantamweight, light heavyweight, and super middleweight. The "main event" is typically the most popular fight and features the biggest name in boxing. The fighters who fight in it are known as "pugilists," which is a redundant term derived from the Latin word 'pugil', meaning fist fighter.
