Boxers don't. Is that hard enough for you?

Can you explain what you mean? I’m fairly certain I’ve seen footage of exhausted boxers breathing through their mouths

  Not biting down on your mouth piece and having you mouth open is a broken jaw waiting to happen

You can't train above your ventilatory threshold while nose breathing, and boxers are definitely training above that level of intensity, at least for short burts. Fighting is anaerobic.

  Aerobic - with air.

    Are you saying boxing is purely aerobic, or that anaerobic includes the word aerobic which means “with air”? I’m not picking up your intention either way. Boxing is a high intensity exercise which would at points be anaerobic.

      Just being a little clever. It's both but boxing isn't a street fight, you do have short bursts but you still need to make it 12 rounds or less.

  I was a bit flippant, yes sometimes you have to breathe through the mouth but whenever possible one breathes through nose.

    Hence the "sufficiently hard" qualification

      His comment still does not make sense as a reply. I'll admit my response was poor as well.

  > You can't train above your ventilatory threshold while nose breathing Why? What about this? http://www.journals.aiac.org.au/index.php/IJKSS/article/view/4400 http://www.journals.aiac.org.au/index.php/IJKSS/article/view... Conclusion: This study supports the ability of recreational runners to utilize a nasally restricted breathing pattern at all levels of running intensity without loss in VO2max or GXT TE, and with superior PE and VE/VO2, following an extended training period using this practice.

Ive been boxing for a while now and definitely breathe through my mouth a lot. You cant keep your jaw hanging open when exchanging punches, but you still do a pretty significant amount of breathing through your mouth
