      Speedbag is about improving quick movements, control, hand eye coordination and being able to keep and build momentum with your punches you'd be suprised the muscles you develope learning things like the backstrike make your reactions faster and more effective. Having quicker hands is always a massive advantage in a fight especially if they're actually controlled and not just quick jabs with no power. A lot of guys figure out through speedbag they don't actually keep their hands tight and they see it because the bags goin all over the place.
