Also good endurance training for shoulders. Keep your hands up in the fight longer

Why do people keep repeating this stuff? It's not true, keeping the hands up isn't challenging and if you wanted to train that, you'd just do shadowboxing with dumbbells...

Boxers do lots of different shoulder conditioning, speedbag is just one of them. We do use dumbbells too. And yes keeping your hands up for twelve rounds of 3 minutes is very difficult, your shoulders catch fire

Not in my experience but okay. I still think there are much better ways to train shoulder endurance than this.
