3 times a week: Barbell squats, bench press, dips, and one set of shoulder presses, and one of biceps curls. THEN, after a rest of 4-5 mins, go bang the heavy bag for 5-6 rounds. Don't get sloppy, but work the combos. Above all, work the jab, real hard. The rest will come. I wear 14 oz gloves when I bang the big bag. Then on the last go, take them off and hit just with the wraps on my hands. One minute... hands seem to go like lightning. Don't under rate the speed bag, as power is just as much timing as it is technique, velocity and weight transfer
Squats build the lungs, legs. With weak legs, you can't hit. With tired legs, you can lose. With strong legs, you are still good to go when the enemy is getting tired. This assumes you couldn't take him out in the first 10-15 sec
