The time you get better, stronger and learn better technique is not training for a fight, but training between fights. Slow you training down and take time to learn some new things to add to your arsenal. if you have missed on numerous time with an upper cut, work on the timing and spacing etc..., through pad work and light sparring. If in your last fight, you feel as though your opponent was a little too strong for you, well hit the weights. Get you a lifting regimen and hit the weight room as your regimen says. If you feel your stamina is not where you would like it to be, add more cardio, maybe some interval sprints, run hills etc. Work on foot work, angles etc.. there are countless things you can do to continue to grow and maintain you fitness level.
When you are training for a fight you then work on being sharp for the fight. Working on fight strategy, push youself to an even better fitness level via, hard cardio, bag work, conditioning drills, sparring for timing and hitting a little harder to have your body ready for the shots you may take in a fight. Not 100%, but about 65-70% full speed. I will touch on this more later.
Fighting is a craft and if you don't continue to work on it, some one else will.
Osu!
