My nephew from Iowa always wanted to box. But due to location, no boxing gyms are around. The college he got accepted into offers boxing. What can he do his senior year to get ready for boxing with just a heavybag, gloves and a computer (for research)? When I boxed amateur, I was out of shape, but would win because I could hit really fast and hard. I was just so slow. He is half my size and around a welterweight (and i was heavyweight). What can he learn before he meets his instructer? I want to give him advice but I understand that different weight classes do require different skills. Well Besides the fact that I can't actually box, but I can hold my own for 3 rounds.
