My Dad boxed in the Army... was pretty good. We always had a gym (speed bag, heavy bag, small ring) in the basement everywhere we lived... he taught my brothers & I.
If 3 minutes with 16 oz gloves isn't uncomfortable enough for you.... Try fighting somebody who's stronger AND faster than you in a 8 ft ring. It's the very definition of,
"Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide..."
But, it does WONDERS for improving your defense...
