Nonito Donaire High Altitude Training

[CubanGuyNYC]

I think Donaire is the best in the world pound for pound. I don't think he should go up in weight. He is 30 years old and all through growing for sure. He should just stay at 122 and rule that weight class with an iron fist the way Hagler ruled 160. He is maxed out at 122 an his body actually looks a bit soft for a boxer when he weighs in at 122 for a fight. It does not matter if he is tall or short, if he has reached his ideal fighting weight he should stay there. If he continues to move up in weight he will be fighting men who are bigger and stronger than him and he will no longer be the best pound for pound. He could fight at 126 since it's only 4 more pounds. If he goes higher than that and fights the best fighters at 130 or 135 I think he will lose sooner or later.

No joke, I can't even imagine getting down to 122 myself. I'm not that much taller than Donaire; my bone structure is about average. I couldn't get down to 122 even if I had 0% body fat, literally. Yet, Donaire looks soft at that weight. Soft! Rigo, an inch shorter (or so the listed stats say), is absolutely ripped at 122. I'm not trying to put Nonito down, it doesn't mean much to your fighting success, but it's very hard to imagine Donaire climbing many more weight classes.

Wonder why the switch from the machine

I think Donaire will win by KO but Rigo is a hell of a fighter and a threat to KO anyone who gets in the ring with him. He has speed and power and he is a great body puncher.

Guillermo Rigondeaux is one heck of a champion and he's going to bring all his Latin fans with him to Radio City Music Hall. With that being said, Nonito is just too skillful and fast in the ring and will KO Guillermo in 6 rounds.

I think it's to give the body another look, its like P90x. Doing same exercise over and over causes a plateau effect, by changing it up a bit his muscles will continue to get stronger.

It's a feel I have bro. Whenever I see a hot women walk down the street, even with clothes on I am able to tell what kind of body she has, can't you?

:gay: .............

How can you tell that he's in tremendous shape?

It's Mrs Donaire.

How do you think she knows?

[mathed]

Guess no one has heard of Thomas Hearns, Carlos Zarate, Sal Sanchez, Alexis Arguello.

Don't forget Joe Calzaghe

Exercise is all about tricking the body, doing the same exercise over and over will produce a plateau effect.

It's weird that he's training in high altitude since he's normally using a machine that simulates high altitude oxygen so he doesn't need to go up in the mountains :




Not surprising for anybody who knows boxing. There have been more skinny punchers than muscular punchers in the history of the sport.

gawdam those body hooks are terrifying to look at..

That's for muscles only. Depriving the body of oxygen is just that, it doesn't matter how you do it. All it does is create a certain environment, one that is low on oxygen and you have to be in that environment on a consistent basis for an extended period of time, say a few months. If you only expose yourself to it when you train, you see little to no benefit from it; your body must adapt to a lack of oxygen.
