Using a Stop Watch as a Boxing Corner Man

Video Transcript

The next item we're going to talk about is a stopwatch. Normally the timekeeper at ringside is going to be keeping track of the two minute rounds and the minute rest period in between, but if you have a heads-up yourself on approximately when ten seconds is left in the round, you can try to get your boxer a little bit more excited and a little bit more able to finish that round in a good positive way. So what you do is you have your assistant, you have enough to do, but you have your assistant keep track of the time and when he reaches a minute and fifty seconds, he can say ten seconds and then you tell your boxer ten seconds Joe, ten seconds. That allows that boxer those last ten seconds. That's the last ten seconds that the judges are going to see. That's the most important ten seconds. If that boxer know there's only ten seconds left, he might get that extra little bit of wind that he needed to go back out there and then finish strong finish strong ok. Also, when you're working in between the rounds in the corner, if your assistant corner man also has a stopwatch, he can alert you when there's approximately twenty seconds left to the round to the in between the round. That way by the time you hear the word seconds out and you only have ten seconds left, you've already had a head start, you've already put your mouth piece into the boxer, you've already got him ready to go. So having a good stopwatch and then an assistant to help you keep track of it is a really good idea.
