In the past fighters would stay far away from weight training, thinking it would make them slow, but research has proven otherwise, mainly because there are different kinds of strength. Any fighter, from all styles, is looking to develop speed strength and explosive strength.
The highly regarded sports bio-chemist Vladimir Zatsiorsky, was a well-recognized strength coach/consultant for the Olympic teams that were competing for the Soviet Union many years ago. He said the ability for any athlete to produce the most maximal force in minimal time is known as explosive strength. He says that a strong body does not necessarily mean strong explosive strength.
It is clear that developing one type of strength like max strength will not guarantee development of another type of strength like explosive strength or speed strength. Speed strength is defined as the ability to execute any unloaded movement against a small resistance very quickly.
A good example would be punching a heavy punch-bag which would be considered a small external resistance. The few ounces of weight that your gloves weigh would be insufficient to qualify as minimal resistance. Mas, all fighters should note that excessive max strength training may eventually impair strength speed, reducing the technical speed of a good boxer.
Strength endurance is different as it is defined as maintaining the muscular function/integrity of the muscles for longer periods. No matter what style a fighter uses, strength endurance is vitally important for any competitive combat fighter. Having a whole lot of power and speed with no stamina is not going to get a fighter very far.
Combat sporting events require the athlete to be multifaceted and well-rounded when it comes to strength preparation. Developing max strength at the expense of other strengths is not going to help the athlete. A fighter needs a completely unique blend of these strengths.
It does not mean that fighters should never do max training to improve their strength, a fighter needs to understand a bit of muscle physiology to be able to appreciate how important max training could be for a fighter. Muscle fibers are always grouped into different motor units.
These motor units each contain one nerve and hundreds of separate muscle fibers. The nerve delivers the signal for a muscle to fire, slow or fast twitch, depending on how many reps, the weight used and the muscle(s) isolated. The muscle fibers are then contracted when the signal is delivered.
Training specifically for power development, a fighter needs to target only the fast twitch muscle-fibers. But unfortunately, not all of the motor units will be activated at once. Any and all low intensity exercise will not activate the important fast twitch fibers.
If the exercise that a fighter performs does not stimulate any fast-twitch motor units, then the muscle fibers inside that motor unit will not be able to adapt to the training. If the motor unit isn’t being recruited, no response will happen. But when the athlete lifts heavy loads they’ll be activating fast-twitch muscle fibers.
Strength coaches across the world recognize the importance of maximal strength training because it is the best way to improve both intramuscular and intermuscular coordination, required for any fighter.
Despite what you might have heard about heavy weight training, it’s a common myth that all heavy weight training will only result in unnecessary bulk, which will then reduce the range of motion and the speed development. This is totally false, any fighter considering strength training will improve his/her competitiveness in the ring.
The well-known Russian coach Yuri Verkhoshansky, said in one of his manuals that when any effective methodology is used for planning a weight training routine, the resistance used will promote an increase in speed of a movement but will also improve muscle coordination, motor-reaction plus the quickness and the frequency of the movements.
He continues by explaining that the primary function of a muscle is not to increase size when strength training, but rather to increase the contractibility for effective nervous stimulation. He explains that strength training correctly will increase the ability of your muscle to relax while developing local muscular endurance and it will increase the maximal anaerobic capacity of that muscle group.

![]() MONTREAL, Canadá (Junho 14, 2016) – Groupe Yvon Michel (GINÁSIO) and Gestev are proud to officially announce, “SHOOTOUT”, the next fight for power-punching Adônis “Super-homem” Stevenson, Julho 29 at Centre Videotron, a presentation of Videotron in association with Mise-O-Jeu. This event is presented as part of the prestigious “Premier Boxe dos Campeões” (PBC) série, to be broadcast live in the United States, and on Canal Indigo in Canada.
Stevenson (27-1, 22 KOs), who established himself as one of the most powerful pound-for-pound fighters in the world, irá defender seu Conselho Mundial de Boxe (WBC) and lineal light heavyweight (175 divisão libra) title for the seventh time, against the dangerous, WBC Não. 9 Classificado Thomas “Melhor cachorro” Williams (20-1, 14 KOs).
“Estou muito feliz por voltar ao ringue para minha próxima luta, que será realizada em julho 29 no excelente Center Videotron de Quebec, contra Thomas Williams Jr.,” Stevenson disse. Vou demonstrar que, como bom vinho, Fico ainda melhor com a idade. Mesmo que eu não tenha lutado por 10 meses, Eu nunca saí da academia e estou disposto a defender minha coroa.”
Williams, de Fort Washington, Maryland, em 28, é 10 anos mais jovem que Stevenson e também canhoto. Ele teve uma carreira amadora de sucesso e é considerado um grande perigo no ringue, como evidenciado por seu 10 vitórias por nocaute em menos de duas rodadas, incluindo suas duas últimas saídas contra renomados Edwin Rodriguez (28-1, 19 KOs) e Umberto Savigne (12-2, 9 KOs).
Em ambas as duas lutas, Williams era um azarão, mas sua determinação e soco letal fizeram a diferença. “There were many who had lost trust in me two years ago after my loss to Gabriel Campillo (24-6-1, 11 KOs),” Williams explained. “I don’t make excuses but there were circumstances that led to this result. I’m coming off the best performance of my career and I’m ready to make a change Julho 29 in terms of the holding title belt. Stevenson has never faced a puncher like me in the past.”
“We are proud to start our association with Gestev and Centre Videotron with this gala event,” Presidente GYM Yvon Michel adicionado. “Adonis Stevenson became the WBC light heavyweight champion in June 2012 and since then 15 de 16 other WBC titles have changed hands. Somente Shinsuke Yamanaka, of Japan, is still champion. Other fights on the Julho 29th card will include a group of ambitious, talented boxers, promising a show with intense fighters making statements.”
Na co-metragem, current WBC Silver light heavyweight champion and WBC No. 1 contendor, Eleider Alvarez (19-0, 10 KOs), will attempt to maintain his position as the WBC mandatory challenger against Maximiliano Gomez (22-5, 9 KOs), of Argentine.
Also scheduled to be in action are Nova Scotia native and adopted Montreal fighter Custio Clayton (8-0, 7 KOs), who will attempt to continue his rise in the welterweight division, Quebec heavyweight Eric Martel Bahoeli (11-6, 7 KOs) will realize his dream to fight in Videotron Centre, charismatic Montreal welterweight Ulysse júnior (10-0, 7 KOs) e meio-médio Marie Eve DiCaire (4-0) are also slated to be in action. Other fights and fighters will soon be announced for the July 29th cartão.
Todas as lutas e os lutadores estão sujeitos a alteração.
