Rehydration impossible

But can any of the examples be proven? Yup just watch ALMOST ANY HBO fight before last couple years after guys that put on HUGE amounts of weight 15+ quit giving HBO chance to weigh them.Really its COMMON knowledge MMA guys do it also.Funny part about that was when May/McG was going on and all the MMA guys we saying "Yea unlike boxing we put on a lot of weight after weigh in"Where the HE LL do they think they got it lol.

Well when a fighter dehydrates to a point that their face is very drawn in after doing treadmill work in a sweatsuit and also possibly not eating for at least 12 hours to sometimes just a small fruit/Only water for longer, it's not surprising. Remember they are doing what a normal human such as us would not be able to do. Get down to 5-8 % Body fat and put our bodies in a state and then recover the next day to fight... There's a reason why fights are often 2 or 3 max a year at the highest level, there's a lot of strain on the body hence why some become very injury prone/ill. In the 36 hours or so from weigh in to fight night, I would not be surprised if a fighter has drank 4-8 litres of liquids and eaten quite a bit of food to recover (About 1 to 2 gallons) depending on weight class. Many at the top level are fine tuned athletes who look at 1% to 10% gains in anyway possible. They aren't some random person.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Like every fight where they show fight nite weights.Shoot I remember Gatti weighin in at 159 after weigin 140 with Gamace.Tons of exsample. But can any of the examples be proven?

You don't re hydrate "over night". You weigh in at 9am.......1pm......3pm. If your weigh time is 9am and bell time is 10pm the next day you have over 36 hours to re hydrate. At 1pm less time and a weigh in at 3pm a little less time. Fighters and their trainers know the fighters metabolize, they know what they can accomplish and what might be detrimental. Your cutting fluids so to replenish them alomng with a few solid meals is a normal schedule. Years ago same day weigh ins produced 6 to 15 pounds depending on the "cut" ratio. Late in his middleweight career LaMotta could add 15-18lbs pounds from 8am to 10pm. Mind over matter and a lot of sacrifices and chewing & spitting on the rope by the furnace. Ray How well-documented is this superhuman feat by LaMotta?

This got to be chollas aka revalated alt

So how does canelo go from looking skeletal at previous weighins to skeletor the following day?Canelo always looks good at the weigh in and in the ring. Sure he gains some weight like almost all boxers below heavyweight do but you are exaggerating the difference of him at the weigh and then later in the ring.

It's impossible to rehydrate 15-20 lbs over night, guys, it would be pretty impressive though not impossible for you to rehydrate 10-12 lbs. If any of you claim otherwise... Then please link me to proper documentation that such a jump in weight has ever occured over night. From some proper source... This childish myth of boxers rehydrating 15-20 pounds has to stop. What weight class are you talking about?

You have no idea, stick to being a fan don't make out you know how boxing works.

Pretty sure Gatti rehydrated near 20 lbs in one of his fights. Can't remember who. It's very possible. Think Crawford rehydrated around 20 against Gamboa too Guy above me put it Yea it was Gamache fight.And he got hurt that was the hardest 3 punch combo I might have ever seen.I mean ALL 3 landed with full force. And it was not one of those Griffen v Paret,Cooney v Norton or mercer v Morrison fights the ref HAD NO CHANCE to get inbetween.It was just a 3 punch combo that he put everthing into and ALL LANDED FLUSH AS POSSABLE.

I agree, it's just that the prefight weigh in could be mandatory, then we wouldn't have to guess a fighters weight on fight nite. Yea don't see that.The more people that have used it to discredit a fighter or give another a break has guys who put on a lot of weight not wanting to do it.And since its just a TV(used to be just HBO)thing they just say no.

Its true that sometimes there are in more clothes then weighin but there are soooooooooo many exsamples of guys gaining 15-20 or little more that's its FACT now. I agree, it's just that the prefight weigh in could be mandatory, then we wouldn't have to guess a fighters weight on fight nite.

You're assuming the prefight weigh in is as rigorous as the official weigh in, which ain't necessarily so. It's voluntary and pretty casual. Boxers sometimes get on the scale in their shoes and street clothes. It's a nice stat to show but I wouldn't put any faith in it.

NO it's not. They use protein shakescombined with water and probably other supplements like creatine.
