If fighters didnt lose weight and fought at there fight night weight.
how different do you think it will make them? how different would it make a normal fight? Id like your view.
for e.g. welterweight, thurman / spence at 155. (assuming they put on around 8 pounds.
for e.g. canelo ggg @ 170. im guessing they will both be around that even though its at 160.
and at 168, ward vs froch @ 176. (assuming)
Could it change the outcome of fights?
Thing what people dont get is, if you lose weight correctly for a weight advantage, you can have more muscle then your opponant and be stronger. So you starve yourself for maybe 48 hours, you weight for e.g. 164 that day, you starve etc, and weigh just under 160, hours after the weigh in, you weight 165 as you get hydrated and another 24 hours youre at 170.
If you lose weight like de la hoya did vs pac and cant put on no weight after, thats no advantage obviously. he was severley drained. But as floyd has shown, it dont always mean you will be drained, as he never has to starve. Sometimes the weight is just food in your gut. Thats why i sometimes see a ripped fighter weigh in, and fight night there abs have gone.
im asking this for good reason.
The body acts in survival mode when starved, so if you eat, it will store more as fat, rather then when your aint starved ****floyd) you can just be eat and be cool.
get me though?
im not writing up to B+ standard for you guys, piss off
