Dbl end bag starts at 3:47. Anybody who thinks that boxing isn't a martial art is an idiot. Just watching a pro or good amateur work a double end bag or slip bag is poetry in motion, and when you put that training in the ring, cage, or on the street, it's deadly. Could watch this stuff for hours. Inspiring. Thanks for posting, honestron.
Awesome; perfect timing, lightning speed, pinpoint accuracy, great power and reflexes. I've never seen anyone master the floor to ceiling ball so completely, especially one so small! No wonder Sugar Shane Mosley is a legend.
Yes; timing, reflexes, speed, accuracy...it's really a great tool. You learn to get in quick and hit a target cleanly, directing your energy in exactly the right place and from just the right angle.
Don't forget he is using the pro 4 inch double end bag, not the standard 9 inch available to the public. This is Sugar Shane Mosley known to be one of the fastest punchers of all time in professional boxing. Yes the guy that beat Oscar De-la Hoya at age 35.
Shane is a living legend--with the gift of longevity, amazing speed, and youthfulness as well. Still, I believe that he's one of today's best fighters. Even with the loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr., and the blemish on his record due to PEDs, he comes back with a champion's resilience, warrior's heart, and fearless competitiveness.
you are all very astute in commenting on how fast his hands are- he is legendary after all, but everyone fails to mention the fact that Mosley has beautiful footwork as well, which is where his power originates from... just as you can tell a well-dressed man from his shoes, you can tell a great fighter from his footwork!
Everyone seems to have a hard-on for Mayweather's pat 'a' cake style mitt-work at the moment. Obviously Mayweather's system has its place and benefits but I prefer Mosleys pad drill. Speed,Power,Timing and Movement. Good Stuff !!
@dramakazi Who do you think would have won if Mosley fought Kostya Tszyu.Alot of people think Mosley avoided the Junior Welterweight division back in the early 90s because of Kostya being the top guy.
well boxer/puncher is the popular beleif on mosley..but for as long as ive been watching shane he rarely outboxes anyone...his speed and surprising power usually overwhelms his opponents particularly fighters of similar size..his troubles of fighting bigger guys vernon forrest,winky wright stem from his willingness to brawl!
@fightinfarrell Mayweather's style practices reflexes which make his actions so instinctive it just shows in his fights...it's constant...evryone else's pad work seems like they're at a slow pace to Mayweather's....Mayweather never stops in his pad work and defence is just as much a part of it...it is very very effective
his double end bag work is way above most....and the bag aint too tight either ..which is how a lot of pros blag it that they are timed up to the max...but they aint not until that bag is kinda loose ...real good
i dont think they make dble end bags smaller than that. Id like to see him hit the dble end without those 14oz training gloves, he would probably pop the damn thing.
Mosley is the most talented fighter Floyd has ever faced. Shane has to use the entire ring, stick and then move out of range. Floyd is not a stalker, he likes his opponents to come to him so Floyd can pinpoint his accurate single shots. Keep moving in and out and laterally, and Mayweather won't have time to set and zero in. Also, you must hit Floyd with fast combinations mid-ring, before he goes into the defensive shoulder roll. A bout between two brilliant boxers.
@alphonsob1 the pad work doesn't hit back it's easy to throw a jab because your not worried about being countered or hit back when they pull counter over it. it's like if I told you to hit a heavy bag you'd hit it without concern of being hit back. The Margarito fight he looked like he had one because he has no head movement . and the second Oscar fight he lost that one . a boxer with a good jab beats Mosley he only has 1 game plan "land a big shot" if he can't he mentally brakes down "gives up"
