Vergil Ortiz Jr and his " Medical Condition "

- - Been over 140 since he was 20 years old. I know you don't know what you talk of. Yeah but hes only 23. I can see him heading up to 154 in a few years but 147 shouldn't be a big problem right now.

Didn't Ortiz spend most of his career at 140? I doubt he's drained out at 147. - - Been over 140 since he was 20 years old. I know you don't know what you talk of.

So many variables. It's really hard to even guess. Hopefully he recovers completely and they can point to a cause which he can avoid in the future.

Doesn't have to do with alcohol necessarily. One of my homies caught rhabdomyolysis during high school. He ballooned up in weight before wrestling season, and had to work extra hard to get back into shape. His body started to fail him during this process. It took him about 2 months to recover from the condition, and a few more months to get back to full strength due to the damage. Dude wasn't a drinker, just ate too much junk food and had to pay for it when trying to cut I agree it doesnt necessarily have to involve alcohol but that could ballooning in weight between fights and killing himself to make weight.

Why is he overtraining though? Because he came to camp way out of shape and had to work harder to cut weight. At least he wasn't on a diet of "tainted beef" to cut the weight.

He's probably over training. Why is he overtraining though? Because he came to camp way out of shape and had to work harder to cut weight.

I wouldn't look too deep into it. I've seen many combat athletes get this like Stiverne, DaDa 3000, etc. It's interesting that those 2 were heavyweights, but with how intense training camps are and them cutting weight, it's no surprise.

Another talented guy who fooks around. What a waste.

So after looking further into it I am curious what you guys think. I spoke to another poster earlier about knowing people that have had the same issues and it being alcohol related. When drinking fairly heavily and regularly the muscles literally dry up and it requires alot of hydration and electrolytes especially if you start working out and sweating alot. The most common cause for Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening syndrome resulting from the breakdown of skeletal muscle fibers with leakage of muscle contents into the circulation. The most common causes are crush injury, overexertion, alcohol abuse and certain medicines and toxic substances. What's the thought on this? - - Potentially fatal enough gonna leave it with the Docs involved, but sounds like Verg ready for 154 if his docs clear him.

I just hope he recovers fast and we see him in ring soon. One of the most exciting fighters in boxing
