boxing – Bob Body Opponent Punching Bag – The Perfect Solution For Practice
Boxing: Mike Tyson vs Trevor Berbick
No person is the same. And the adage can be said in the sport of boxing. All boxers understand that the rule of the game is simple – punch your opponent until you knock him out, gives up, or the final bell sounded. But then, the way a boxer fights is what makes him different among the rest.
There are different types of boxers, depending on their strengths, their skill levels, and other correlated attributes. A boxer plays the game the way he does because of the fusion of all these features.
Different Boxing Styles
Brawler / Slugger
Brawlers are those who punch and punch with utter disregard for technique, relying heavily on their punching power to win. Most of them are slow and has poor footwork skills. They also tend to get hit a lot and most of the time, they catch a lot of shots on the way in.
While this can be a bad idea for a sound boxer, brawlers who can take tons of punches and deliver tons of damage in return sometimes win bouts. One powerful punch is all they need to win a fight.
George Foreman was a pure brawler and his durability along with his relentless style makes him one of the most feared brawlers when he was still active.
For example, a 170 lb male with a strong punch should work on a seventy pound punching bag, while a professional boxer of the same weight would need a one-hundred pound bag. A lightweight or featherweight boxer would typically utilize a forty pound heavy bag.
The typical leather bag is covered in thick leather, similar in thickness to proper motorcycle grade leather. This leather varies in thickness but is typically one quarter of an inch thick. This allows the bag to withstand many more hits, regardless of if the boxer using it is using bag gloves or boxing gloves. In fact, leather is the preferred material for mixed martial artists that are practicing striking without gloves for a tournament that uses such rules.
Swarmer / Pressure Fighter
As the name suggests, pressure fighters prefer to stay up close and in front of their opponents and throw a lot of powerful combinations to frustrate them, take them off their game, and wear them down for the big finish. While their style may be the same as the brawler / slugger, a pressure fighter is more defensively sound and a lot skillful than their brawling counterparts.
Pressure fighters can bob and weave, slip to the sides, and prefer to duck punches than block them. They also have to have a strong chin because they also tend to get hit a lot, although not as much as a brawler.
One remarkable pressure fighter is Mike Tyson. He always closes the distance between him and the other man and unleash flurries of power punches to keep the bout short and sweet.
The other consideration is how to properly hang a heavy bag. There are different types of mounts for leather heavy bags. Wall mounts are common in many boxing centers as are rafter mounts. For areas that either of these options is not practical, there are heavy bag stands as well.
What I really like the most is the new design they have given Bob. He use to be just an upper torso punching dummy but now they have what they call a “Century Bob with groin”. Along with the upper torso they have added the upper thighs and lower torso complete with boxer shorts.! Now the Bob body opponent punching bag really looks human!
