The sport of boxing has undoubtedly made boxers some of the most dangerous athletes on the planet. The sheer power aside, one of the skills that sets boxers apart are their lightning-fast reflexes. With the sport of boxing giving fighters only a fraction of a second to react, an impeccable reflex is often considered one of the best weapons in a boxer’s arsenal. A video recently showed a young professional boxer displaying jaw-dropping reflexes on a reflex trainer while blindfolded. And it is safe to say that Reddit users were intrigued, to say the least.

Samuel J Castellanos is a 17-year-old boxer who is often considered the youngest professional boxer in the USA. Moreover, he is also a 13-time National Champion and currently trains at the Hollister Boxing Academy.

The video showed a blindfolded Castellanos engaged in a reflex training session. He initially starts slow but quickly picks up pace. There is no denying that Castellanos showcased a sensational skillset in the session that encompassed both offensive and defensive moves.

However, user Ebonyks was not very impressed. They mentioned, “Your eyes are much slower than your ears with training like this. Even if your eyes were working, they aren’t very useful in training like this. Muscle memory and rhythm are what he’s working off of.”

The user also mentioned that the blindfold only adds a layer of confidence.
