Tito Ortiz training with Roach (vid) - Page 2

You can already see a difference in Tito's boxing from the first clip to the last. his punches are crisper and he isn't flapping the elbow on the right cross. I am interested to see how this translates in the raing.

At 5'8" This is not something I have ever had to deal with but how does working the pads with a man who is significantly short that you, impact performance. In the video, tito is punching down to roach's pads but in sparring or a fight, he will be punching straight or even up. Maybe it is irrelevant but I am curious.

I've wondered that too. Particularly when watching someone like Wladimir Klitschko work pads with Emmanuel.

This is a tiny bit of sparring footage at the end of this clip

Don't you think it's rather in vogue to train at the wildcard boxing club now a days?

Cool to see.

Yep...because of this boxing tutelage I might bet heavy on Ortiz...he's still the "underdog" in this fight.

Id have to watch the vids carefully again BUT from what i ve seen Roach holds the pads higher.
