I lost 40 lbs over nearly a year, though. Like I said, I lost weight really fast at the beginning -- my body was in shock, I think, from going from being a couch potato to boxing 4-5 times a week, and you always get the most radical body changes when you begin an exercise routine. Then it took me about 6 months to lose 20 more pounds; I lost a pound or two every week, hit 173-175, and hung at that weight for awhile. I cut 10 more at the very end because there were no Light Heavies to fight, so with three weeks to go I learned that I had to make Middleweight. I put those last 10 right back on after the fight just by eating normally.
I would've had a ***** of a time dropping 22 lbs. in 2 months. I just wanted to warn him that he will be hating his life if he does it safely. It can be done, and it can be done safely, but it's really gonna suck. And he needs to start yesterday.
Hey, Esponda: clean out your fridge, kid. Until your fight, you only shop the produce section and the butcher shop. Good luck.
