Dropping weight. Jones, Hatton and Tarver. Coincidence?

[djtmal]

meanwhile, 90% of the voters agree weight drain affected the three fighters performance...

i bet you tarver is loving this poll, since he couldn't use the weight drain excuse in his loss to hopkins, cause he chastised jones for pimping the same thing...

So you're saying Hopkins would not have beaten tarver if not for the rocky film???? Answer me that question and I'll know all I need to know about you.

Or was it because he was poisoned?

i already know all i need to know about you....you are an idiot who suffers from severe mental ******ation...that has no concept of placing events in chronological order...lol

So you refuse to answer the question? Obviously you know Hopkins would have beat Tarver no matter what. Thanks for playing.

why should i answer anything you ask...with that 2nd grade education of yours, you're not going to comprehend anyway...

there you go dodging the question again...

It probably took a lot out of Tarver but who knows how it would've ended up if not for the Rocky movie. In the end, Hopkins has the name Tarver on his resume.

there you go dodging the question again...

i'd call it more trying to dodge your obvious idiocy...., but since i got some time to spare....

you, hopkins, and tarver are all garbage if you ask me...

you because you are a ****** and there is no hope unfortunately....

hopkins because he spent a career @ 160 beating up on the likes of morrade hakkar, oscar and trinidad, instead of moving up to 168 or 175 and making a more career defining, competitive fight with roy jones or calzaghe when all were still prime, but he was scared sh**tless and hid out at 160...sat there and watched tarver fight a luckluster 3rd fight with jones and make a movie, then decides to grow some balls and moves up....wasn't thinking about fighting the tarver who had starched jones...

tarver because he allowed himself to lose focus when he had the world in the palm of his hands after ko'ing jones...tarver had good skills, good defense, and a ko punch, but he thought he could hang out with stallone, be a part-time actor and fight, lost bad, and never recovered...like i said, he wishes he could pimp a weight drain excuse against hopkins, but after how he shot it down when jones tried to do the same, knew he couldn't pimp it...i hope he got his $ problems straight with the irs, cause the million dollar paydays ain't happening no more....

so yes, its a far more competitive fight with tarver had hopkins sought out the focused tarver who put jones on his back or even the tarver who beat glenn johnson in the rematch...given that hopkins record is 1 win, 4 losses when he fought fighters with equal size and talent, its conceivable he could lose to tarver as well...

That's funny...and its even more funny that you may REALLY believe it

YES, when you dehydrate it decreases the production of cerebrospinal fluid, thus lesser buffer or cushion of impact.

Dehydration leads to changes in the volume of compartments within the cranium that could put sportsmen and women at risk of brain damage after head injuries, according to a team of UK researchers (‘The effects of dehydration on brain volume – preliminary results’, International Journal of Sports Medicine 2005; 26:481-485).

In adults, the cranium (the part of the skull that encloses the brain) is a rigid bony vault of fixed size, with a constant volume that is the product of the volume of the brain, the intracranial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in a compartment known as the subarachnoid space, and the intra- cranial blood. The brain is suspended within the sub-arachnoid space, which surrounds it with a protective cushion of fluid. The brain itself contains fluid- filled cavities known as the cerebral ventricles, which communicate with the subarachnoid space.

The aim of this pioneering study was to investigate the relationship between dehydration and changes in the volume of the brain and the cerebral ventricles in six healthy male amateur rugby union players.

The subjects underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain before and after a period of exercise designed to cause significant dehydration, while samples of blood and urine were taken before and afterwards to assess the degree of dehydration. One of the subjects (control) undertook a further series of MRI scans to enable the researchers to assess day-to-day fluctuations of brain and ventricular volume in a normally hydrated healthy person.

They found that the subjects lost between 2.1% and 2.6% of their body mass from sweating during the exercise. They also found a correlation between the degree of dehydration and the change in ventricular volume, with changes in the latter much larger than those seen in the normally hydrated control subject.

‘Changes in the volume of the brain, the intracranial CSF (especially the subarachnoid space) and the intracranial blood may influence the outcome of closed head injuries,’ the researchers explain. ‘After an impact to the head the brain will travel further within the cranium before it meets the skull if the subarachnoid space is enlarged than in the normally hydrated state. Consequently it will accelerate to higher velocities and this may increase the likelihood of contusion injuries after blows to the head such as those sustained in boxing, football and rugby’.

Although the researchers acknowledge that their study was too small to be definitive, they conclude that dehydration causes changes in the volume of intra-cranial compartments that may put sportsmen and women at increased risk of brain damage from contusion injury (bruising) and internal haemorrhage after head injuries.

‘Some sportsmen and women, eg boxers, rugby players and footballers, are especially vulnerable to serious head injuries whilst dehydrated.’

interesting read that!
