Boxing.
You have to move, and throw while being hit.
You have to recover faster, and be in good enough shape
to go 12 rounds.
I'm not talking the Butterbean type, but more of the Roy Jones
type.
Don't believe me stand still and throw punches for 3 mins.
Now try that bouncing around...Still not convinced have a friend
punch you in the gut every 2 seconds and keep trying.
Okay now rest for a min. just one, which is about the length of time that the play could be in the other end of a soccer field and you away from the ball, now get up and do it again don't worry as you've only got 33 mins left.
