Re:
On the contrary, unless your a top 50 professional fighter, cardiovascular training will actually hinder you.
In the amateurs, you fight 2 min rounds, with a max of 4 rounds in championship caliber tourny's etc...
Even when you become a pro, you wont be fighting or more than 6 rounds unless circumstance arrive.
Boxing is an anaerobic sport that requires intense bursts of energy at given times during a match. You only actually box for 6-8 minutes as an amateur. There is no reason to train for aerobic conditioning if you only fight for 6 minutes. There would also be no reason to run more than 2 miles at a time. You will actually train your muscles not to be fast and strong, but slow and steady. And who wants that?
