Height/ weight queston

You don't want to be dropping 5 pounds of water weight and then trying to rehydrate for a fight a couple hours later. It's not safe and will effect your performance. You'll feel slow and get tired a lot quicker.

Someone at my old gym was 5'8 and 118 lbs. He walked around @ 125. It was a ***** trying to get inside on him.

I guess you have to fight in close a lot of the time? Myself i'm really not good at fighting on the inside, i have bad head movment and get hit moving forward. I prefer to fight on the back foot or circling picking my shots as my opponent comes towards me.

yea inside fighting is what im good at because i have to do it so i train for it.. im not terrible the outside but when i get inside i do my best work.. i have a much easier time for guys who wanna stand there and **** then guys who like to move around for those guys you gotta keep applying pressure and they fade

but yea 5'6 at 132 is a good height and weight .. theres not gonna be guys much taller than u at 132

Iam 5'6'' and weigh 135. Should i try to loose some weight to get to a lower weightclass for amateurs? I'dont really have much fat to loose, i think i would have to loose muscles if thats the case. My thoughts are that because i prefer to fight on the outside i should try to get down in weight to increase my reach compared to my opponents. Is it worth the effort or should i stay at my current weight?

loose water weight, day before a weigh in put on a sauna suit or go into a sauna and sweat a few pounds out, get down to 132 or if you really restrict your diet and sweat hard get down to 125 for tournaments etc, dont drop too much weight for an ordinary fight
