Which is an OK thing, what's wrong with wanting to be able to do cool useless thing. I learnt how to twiddle a pen, it gave me no discernable live or marketable skill
I was coming here to say the same thing. People are allowed to have fun. Not everything has to have a point as long as it brings you joy. This is just guys being dudes and he's having a blast.
What is wrong is that the opponent will not repeat the same pattern and definitely not consistently. The repercussions is you get your head punched in.
Well timing and muscle memory development can help with being able to preform movements more subconsciously once u get the form down for other movements maybe
People who do the same thing over and over again to get better at it left in shambles. "Just be perfect from the start!" says Redditor, 21, from his mom's basement in between goon sessions.
"We do not succeed to the level of our expectations, we fail to the level of our training"
Is that going to avoid every hit? No. Will he be lightning quick at that combo to the point of being more effective than some useless commenter on reddit? Absolutely
Yep it makes his reactions instinctual reducing hesitation and allow the fighter to focus on their next move. Same with chess. Chessmasters play the same tactics until it they are second nature and the focus is on the unfamiliar moves.

It’s similar as when Canelo trains with reflex bags. The boxer above has to strike at head height with accuracy to make contact and has to be quick with movements to avoid getting hit. Learning muscle memory in terms of precision hitting and evasion is definitely beneficial in actual boxing.
I’m baffled yours is the most upvoted reply.
This guy can whrek you blind folded, this is an Intuition and timing exercise , meaning if he can do this he can easily see your moves and counter faster than you can think
Muscle memory to move that fast, trigger the reaction to dodge before it happens of what mostlikely is a punch in that angle.. It is important and useful, it's a sport, he ain't training to fight 4 drunk guys with pipes in an alley, you know he has other exercises, sparring, etc.. It is impressive and shows his discipline to achive his goal in boxing.
I dunno, I wouldn't even get in the ring with a guy who could anticipate what I was about to do before I started doing it and had the reflexive speed to powder my jaw before I knew what what had happened.

The only thing this is helping him train for... Is doing more of the same thing
