So I got it wrong last time — way wrong. At least I think I did. I’m not really in the mood to sort through the specifics right now. I’m sure the guys over at speedbagforum know waaaaay more than I do about this guy and his skills.

Sorry if the video is a duplicate. But I could not let the error stand. If Mango DaVille is Showtime Johnny Pals username or something. Maybe he just duped a vid and posted it on YouTube. Either way, Speed Bag Skunk is still the king of YouTube speed bag videos.

Here’s the info from the YouTube video page about this speed bag video:
POPULAR IN THE UNITED STATES, UNITED KINGDOM, CANADA, MEXICO, JAPAN, GREECE, AUSTRALIA, GUAM, BRAZIL, IRELAND AND GROWING! THIS IS A SHORT PREVIEW OF AN OUTRAGEOUS PERFORMANCE BY SPEEDBAG / SPEEDBALL GRANDMASTER “SHOWTIME JOHNNY PAL” THE “TITO PUENTE” OF SPEEDBAGGIN, FIRING UP A MODIFIED REYES SPEEDBAG 15 YEARS AGO AT THE LINCOLN HEIGHTS JAIL IN LOS ANGELES – USING HIS DRUNKEN FIST AND DRUNKEN MASTER STYLE

Speed bag nuts shot

Actually, a double-ended bag is responsible for the laughs at the end of this gag. Sometimes you feel like a nut. SOMETIMES YOU DON’T!!!

Protect ya neck sack.

MMA Speed Bag Training – TWM 2

Here’s a second clip of Tom Warnken Mclaughlin from SE Wisconsin. He throws some good kicks and shows you some of the drills he used to get to where he is today. I really have no clue exactly where that is, but I do recognize a talented kid when I see one.

I hope he doesn’t get a huge-head and inflated-ego that seems endemic to the MMA scene.

MMA Speed Bag Training – TWM 1

Tom Warnken Mclaughlin is a fighter from SE Wisconsin. I found some videos in which he is featured. Kid has good moves. He’s a little young so the moves he’s practicing now will likely become lightning fast and have some decent power behind them.

Also, this kid’s work ethic is pretty clear after watching just a few of these videos. Anyway, watch an interesting array of striking – fists, elbows, kicks. Good stuff, Maynard!

From YouTube:
Tw’s stand up is based on Muay Thai via Duke Roufus. Tw is 185lbs (walking weight) , 6′ tall and has trained nearly daily for the past 4 years.

Marquez Pops Speedbag

Dinamita Marquez pops a speed bag during his open media workout outside the Kodak Theater. World Champ cum event promoter, Oscar De La Hoya was on hand to marvel at the feat and pile on requisite “oohs” and “ahs” as if coaching the small crowd.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a serious display of dynamic strength and speed, which of course gives us power. Sick with it, believe in Dinamita.

Sonsona Loses Title after Three Months

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:29:59 +0000

Many athletes and enthusiasts employ speed bag training as part of a weight-loss regimen or specifically as a calorie-burning activity. I’ve not met a person who cannot appreciate the burn of trying to keep hands and elbows up after 10 minutes on the bag.

Plus, Dude (Sonsona) is a growing-ass dude.
“He’s a young guy exploding into a man,” Tremblay said after Saturday’s weigh-in.

Even after giving up solid food mid-week Sonsona couldn’t slim down any further. When a Friday night workout only got him to 117, Tremblay decided to forfeit the title rather than try something drastic to make weight.

“He could have drained himself down to 115, but after six rounds he would have been a depleted fighter,” he said, noting the danger in sending a dehydrated fighter into the ring. “Why kill him? Why take a possible loss when we have another plan for him anyway?”

Another Pacquiao Crushes Cotto Post

NowBoxing has some Top Rank footage of Manny Pacquiao working out in preparation for Miguel Cotto. The session takes place in Los Angeles.

from Now Boxing
Top Rank released a quick glimpse of Manny Pacquiao training for his up coming bout against Miguel Cotto. Manny hits the mitts with his hall of fame trainer Freddie Roach, does some heavy bag, speed bag work and skips rope in this video. Pacman is raring to go as training hits the final stages.

Pacquiao’s Speedbag Training Helped Him Sock up Cotto

I’m a sucker for the pre-fight open media workout sessions. Ali, Tyson, De La Hoya, Pacquiao…they’re all great. Too bad UFC doesn’t give more of pre-fight show that is live action instead of pre-recorded video packages and highlight reels. I’d love to see the Brock Lesnar’s last workout before Shane Carwin dumps him on his ass.

Anyway, Getty Images provides us with a classic shot of Pacquiao getting his speedbag on before he socked up Miguel Cotto. As I mentioned I love open media workouts. It seems fitting to drop a nice vid on my people for sticking with me through this tiresome blog post. Right, right? Gotcha!

Freddie Roach Breathes Life into Training Article

How to Do Speed Bag Training in Boxing. Sounds promising, right? Let’s dig into and see what’s good.

I don’t like when an article is filed anonymously. But I’m not going to be nitpicky. I’m interested how well the writer gets his point across and whether his point is worth a snot or not. Blablalba, somebody shut me up please so I can finish this blog post.

Alright. This is a well-written, informative article. Even advanced fighters and trainers will enjoy nuggets like this:

Step 3: Use circles. As you start to control the bag, increase your speed and effectiveness by making a circuit of small punching circles. Use circular movements for each punch to keep the bag going. For instance, when you practice jabbing, maintain your hand in a near-jab position and throw the jab in a circular motion.

I am reminded of a video that shows super-trainer Freddie Roach working with a sharp-looking gal with a viscious right-hook. Roach runs down some techniques for using the speed-bag in a fight-training regimen.

“It’s like an opponent so I treat it like an opponent. I’m playing with it. I slip. I go under…” This is classic Freddie!

Watch and learn.
