Not really - outside of the last few fights in which we can reasonably assume he was not on PEDs - the worst he looked was against OSP in which is S & C was lifting heavy.
That doesn’t mean thousands of S&C coaches couldn’t have brought Jon in better shape. Yes training like a power lifter is absolutely retarded.
some of these methodologies have been year for centuries. The cupping thing has been here since BCE iirc. That's crazy its making its rounds again.
That's the thing he wasn't physically exhausted. That's a different type of training to keep your mind sharp while body is physically weak and burnt out. What they were doing in the video wasn't that. He was balancing on 1 leg while doing it. He wasn't exhausted or physically tired. Different type of training than what SF does.
I personally like FPS games to speed up my eye coordination and reflexes. The faster paced the better. Also fighting games are great also, because there's always techniques and strategies you have to use. Each character has different fighting style and moves list and you have to figure out their weakness to exploit or memorize their moves list and techniques, and attack patterns. Great for developing a strategic mind trying to figure out how to exploit fighting styles and learn to pay attention to fighters techniques/patterns/timings/movements/etc. I haven't tried any VR boxing games but I can see that being effective as well once the quality and games get better.

Yup! As a former strength coach myself it sickens me to see these snake oil salesman leading fighters down the wrong path and giving them a false sense of security
I agree with lambert, but I say if the athlete is comfortable with what they're comfortable with and feels it yelds them results, keep doing it.
Total nonsense. Pad work is an integral part of Muay Thai in Thailand and they hardly ever spar other then doing clinching. Proper pad work protects the fighter from taking too many hits in sparring. Tell us the names of all these “legendary boxing trainers”. Your bluffing.
Don’t give a shit about Muay Thai, modern boxing has a 150 year history as an organized sport with professional training, Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Charley Burley, Joe Louis,….none of the greats worked pads, and they were all MORE active than current boxers by far. So please tell me how pad work protects fighters?
Yeah it’s a great workout. Haha helped me maintain shape for my cross country season while I was too lazy to run
Hah! You don’t know what you are talking about and you know nothing about combat sports. No point discussing it any further with you as your ignorance is close to 100%.
That’s right, you can’t answer the question lol. Way to throw up the white flag dumbass.
I don't think it's face paced enough from what I saw on the video. Seems pretty slow paced to me or maybe it was just him starting that type of training. I do my training with video games and other physical reflex/reaction time training. I just haven't seen much success with the fighters I've seen using the light training. Didn't really see any noticeable reaction time/reflex/speed differences in their fights. The reflex/reaction training that I do physically is more geared towards fighting movements and reactions. Since it'll be during those movements that I'll have to make those decisions and also when I would have to react to things happening.
