pads gives you a chance to drill into your body a natural reaction you want.
example, on the mitts drill like crazy countering the jab with your own jab......come sparring time, youll most likely be able to pull it off from doing it on the mitts so much. Where as if you never practiced it on the mitts, and during sparring coach is just yelling at you to counter the jab with your own, wont quite be the same.
the same thing could be worked on partner drills rather than pads.
if we can have only 1 thing, it must be sparring, followed by partner drills, followed by pads, followed by bag, followed by shadow boxing, conditioning needs to be in the mix somehwere too.
just a example
