Originally posted by itsafight View PostThe high altitude supposedly increases red blood cell count because of the relative lack of oxygen in the air. But from what I've heard this could be broscience, Oscar trained there for the Pacquiao fight and we all know what happened there. The English national team was also criticised for training in the high altitude and some commentators blamed their poor performance in the Euros for this.
The theory goes that it simply impedes your ability to train because it's too damn humid so any potential benefit in red blood cell count is offset by a poor training camp.

I also don't think any rational person would say the reason Oscar lost to Manny was because he trained at big bear.
