There are several essential practice routines and boxing training tips which the young boxer must carry out to improve ability. When boxing training it is important to focus on technique. Getting into the habit of performing the exercises correctly with good technique will ensure you get the most from your boxing training exercises. Concentrate on technique while practising the exercises below.
Boxing Training 
racticing the One-Two Punch
Starting from the correct on-guard position the puncher throws the left jab and moves into position for the right-hand shot. He holds his right hand back to keep his opponent guessing as to whether or not he will throw more jabs, a left hook, or the right hand. The puncher immediately follows the left jab with the right cross. The right cross must instantly follow the left jab. The right must be snapped right from the on-guard position. If the puncher hesitates between the punches, the blocker usually will counter with his left, thereby offsetting the right-hand shot.
When the opening appears, the boxer should let the right fly without hesitation, and without trying to punch too hard. Stress to your boys that they must not punch hard, but fast, letting the speed provide the punching power.
Boxing Training:Left to the Body
A left to the body is usually a dangerous offensive punch to lead with, but it is effective as a counter punch when slipping a left jab. Practicing the Left Counter to the Body
The puncher leads off with a left jab and the counter puncher moves his head to the right, just enough to slip the jab. The counter puncher throws his own left jab to the heart of his opponent.
The original puncher drops his right glove to his body to block the left counter. Right to the Body
The right to the body is also a dangerous punch with which to lead off, but it is effective as another counter punch after a left hand is thrown. It is difficult to train boys to punch to the body rather than to the head, but once they learn to do a good job of body punching, it certainly pays dividends.
Boxing Training: Practicing the Right to the Body
The right glove is placed to catch the right to the body. This allows the counter puncher to put some zip into his punches. This procedure should be practiced many times, with the boys taking turns as puncher and counter-puncher.
Remember practice makes perfect.
