Next thing we are going to talk about is the delivery of water in between rounds. As we pointed out earlier, the days of sharing a particular water container then refilling it up between each boxer bout is over. You should have separate sealed water containers for each boxer. They all get a fresh water bottle themselves. The other thing is what we want to try to do is the boxer is going to be thirsty. The boxer is going to be thirsty. We do not want him to get cramped up in between rounds. We do not want him to be drinking too much water; we don't want him to be gasping right away because he is going to be having a hard enough time breathing never mind drinking. What you want to do first is when he sits down we want to give him some water. A little water so that he can rinse his mouth out and then at least think that he has gotten a good drink and then he is going to spit it out into the bucket. And then as we get a second out warning, we have ten seconds left, then we are going to give the boxer another drink of water and that way he can drink that part of it. He can take a good guzzle and then he can go back out into the squared circle. Nick, round is over! Come on, Nick! Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Go ahead and sit down. You are doing good. How do you feel? Okay? Alright, I want you to keep working that jab for me, Okay? It looks real good. Okay. Let's get that mouth piece out. Spit this first one out. Okay Nick? Swish it around good. There you go. Good job. Let me see that and I will rinse out his mouth piece. Remember to keep your hands up and your chin down. Don't square up. Okay. How do you feel? Do you feel fine? I feel okay. Okay, the second assistant is going to be rinsing out that mouth piece while the head coach is working the boxer in the corner. We will get that nice and fresh to put back in there. This will also give him a shot of water. Okay, we got ten seconds. Seconds out! One more, swallow this one. Okay Nick? Here we go, mouth piece in and we are all set to go back out there in the ring.
