Any Fighters Ever Complain About B.O.?

[chargerhemi06]

You know I’ve always thought about that especially when fights go the distance. I always wondered if a fighters breath is so bad that you desperately avoid a clinch.

It's an issue, but more so in MMA. There were a couple guys I'd refuse to roll with in training because they stank and I've got a very sensitive sense of smell. I nearly vomited on one of those dudes once.

I don't think I've heard anyone complain, but when I was young schools still had boxing programs. They were going out but they were still around here and there. My school, Homestead Elementary in Cumberland County Tennessee, had a boxing program that allowed boys in the eighth grade, with a permission slip, to "settle their differences under queensberry rules". Coach used to tell us, even though he was the same coach for everybody so everyone got the same advice, not to shower a whole week prior to fighting that way when your opponent gets close they can't hardly breathe.

so we were always a pair of stinky, unshowered, pre-teens. It wasn't something you could complain about seriously so much as joke about.

Yeah, I can actually see where it would be a weapon really. I guess combat sports are the ultimate test in every way.

Damn. That must have been bad.

Yea, it's not even a normal BO smell that gets me sick, it's the smell when gear is sweated in and not washed, so there's bacteria growing and now it's a rotting flesh smell.

That shyt is how people get these wicked infections.

Cornelius Boza Edwards pooped on his pants against Arguello. Top that.
James Broad pooped on a bucket in one of his fights . Haha!

Ugh, disgusting.

Yeah, man. I don't blame you. Keep away from that crap.

Cornelius "Load Of" Edwards. Haha. Well, Arguello hit so damn hard. That's not a huge surprise. In fact, I bet that's happened a lot more than we know. Pretty natural though really. If I got knocked out and woke up with crap in my pants, how can I be surprised really? It's a shock to the system.

I often wake up with crap in my pants after a normal night's sleep
