1.) Piss is not toxic. It's completely sterile.
2.) I don't understand Marquez's reasoning for drinking his piss because of it's "nutritional value". Piss is bodily waste ; I think pretty much everybody understands that there is no nutritional value to be had by drinking it, and it's been studied and proven by doctors several times. Mainly because any vitamins and nutrients in it have already been absorbed by the body. The piss itself is nothing more than the leftover crap your body doesn't need.
3.) It's highly possible it's merely a mental motivator for him. Ray Robinson used to drink the blood of cattle back in his day to intimidate his opponets. This could be something along the lines of that.
4.) As Samurai said ; it obviously gives him some type of mental advantage, at least in ihs own mind. Boxing is at least 50% mental (some would even say 90%), so I see nothing wrong with him doing it to psyche himself up for the challenge ahead.
5.) also, as Samurai said ; ithe practice is really not that shocking outside of America. **** it didn't even shock me and I'm an American, mainly because I'm well acquainted with various "odd" practices that some goto to promote better health, or things some consume that most others wouldn't in the belief that it is somehow beneficial to their health.
