Interesting way to train for the upcoming season.. makes some sense with the hand checking.. but he is definitely getting his cardio work in.

Jermichael Finley Boxing in Austin

Former Longhorn Jermichael Finley caught 55 passes for the Green Bay Packers last year and emerged as one of quarterback Aaron Rogers favorite targets. This offseason he decided to try boxing a way to improve his game.

Finley, who became the first University of Texas football player to ever leave after his sophomore year, has returned to Austin to begin his boxing training.

It ain't no football, it's different, Finley explained. It's a whole different ballgame you get into the ring. It's like getting your wind up and your hand speed down. And more core work. So you can take them shots to the body and getting the DB's off of you."

Finley said he plans on using boxing as part of his training for the rest of his NFL career.

"Footwork is the main key, Finley said of his training. Then hand speed, and just like I said, the body shots that you take and sometimes to the head shots you take. Doing the little neck exercise they got. It's just a great thing."

"The oranges are dry; the apples are mealy; and the papayas... I don't know what's going on with the papayas!"

"It's just a great thing" -- I'm sure The Greatest would agree.

Hopefully he sticks to sparring partners, and doesn't get his head blasted around too much. He'll get enough of that in the NFL.

Well I think he took this idea from OchoCinco...haha.

I like it though, I'm glad that he is dedicated to staying in shape throughout the offseason and realizing that he can still get better. He is one of my favorite players we have.

Boxing is one of the most,if not the most,tiring hobby/sport right next to soccer...You're stamina has to be top notch to keep up with others....this is great for Finley's stamina and strength but that's it...the rest is useless for football...

Jesus, corners and safeties already bounce off him, and linebackers fall backward trying to hit him. I'm not sure what more he wants. :lol:

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : It should be halted now.
