So he eats a Sum Ting Wong bar right before the fight, and he really isn't that great anyway. Better milk this for all it's worth bud, you'll be toast soon enough.

Roach is making excuses, a simple candy bar will not affect your energy. I eat quick carbs right before a workout and during workout it helps give you fast energy, its wrong to eat quick digesting carbs when you are not working out.
Zou just has no power, they need to build his muscles up, put some muscles on his legs and learn to punch from there he has no weight behind his shots.Comment

Candy bar will lead to a rise in blood glucose levels, then a drop, if it isn't already.
The carbohydrates from the rice if eaten within the right time frame would lead to muscle glycogen stores being replenished. These are the most vital storage locations of energy for boxers and endurance sports, so eating candy bar(s) before a fight instead of a big carbohydrate meal like rice is pretty ******, unless your blood glucose levels are low or you are extremely close to the fight and need to top up liver stores.
It totally depends when he consumed it, it's only really worth it 30-60 min before exercise, anything longer you're better off with a high carb meal.
In the end, for a professional athlete eating a candy bar is ******. There are much better products which will do the job more effectively that are meant for just an occasion.
Zou Shiming will need to "eat like a champion" if he wants to become one, warned trainer Freddie Roach, after a pre-fight snack that almost cost him dearly in his second professional fight on Saturday.
Roach was annoyed after Zou ate a candy bar that sent his blood sugar soaring then crashing at the Venetian CotaiArena, leaving him running on empty.
"He was a bit tired towards the end of the fight, but we have to pay more attention to his diet and pay more attention to what he eats," said Roach, who had a serious talk with Zou after the fight.
"I saw him eat a candy bar and I was a bit upset by that. We know how George [former two-time heavyweight champion Foreman] and the amateurs like to eat candy bars, but that's for 12-year-olds. Overall I was pleased by his performance and we are heading in the right direction."
Zou said he had made a grave error in judgment before the fight by refusing to eat a bowl of rice, which would have given him the energy to last the six rounds in his unanimous decision against tough Mexican teenager Juan Ortega in Fists of Gold II.
"I didn't want it because I wanted to keep myself light before the fight and that was a lesson learnt," Zou, 32, said.
They were lessons that were learned and I know exactly what I have to do
Zou Shiming
"After the fight, Freddie had a very serious talk with me. He told me, 'If you want to be a champion, you not only have to train like a champion, but you must eat like a champion'."Last edited by T18Z; 07-28-2013, 07:43 PM.Comment
