How could Mayorga do smoke and last 12 rounds in many of his fights?

Carlos Monzon was a chain smoker, and he had incredible stamina. I've aslo read he would smoke on his run to relieve the tedium of roadwork. Which is pretty amazing.This is pretty godddamn amazing.

Back in the old days fighters would drink whisky between rounds.

Carlos Monzon and Nicolino Locche were both chain smokers, Locche was known to smoke 80 a day but would cut down to 30 - 40 during training and even took smokes between rounds in some of his fights, both went full 15 rounds plenty of times and fought at a decent pace. Must be something in that Argentinian water.

Locche had great stamina, a 15 round fighter and use to chain-smoke, his corner use to hide him smoking in between rounds in some fights.

panda cant imagine how he does it its hard to catch my breath when running to be on time for work after smoking a cigarette but lots of friends of mine who played soccer smoke and they have no problem keeping up with the non-smokers either its weird really

He smokes just to give the other guys a chance. ;)

I think that he really doesn't smoke as much as he claims,that $hit would be crazy if he really could do those things.

most of his stuff didn't go the distance...so instead of smoking, he was getting smoked...

He was on steroids. PED's allow you to train longer and harder. And to recover more quickly.
