PAW Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 You said he will be 159 max because you can only add so much weight back. Him and his coach both said around 170 which is where he typically fights at. Lol at thinking he fought at 149 for his 145 fights Anyone who has cut weight before knows you can put a lot more than 5 pounds back on in 24 hours. He was close to 170 this week. You don't cut weight over 12-16 weeks, you do it the 2-3 days before weigh ins which is why it is so unsafe. So he isn't reversing 12-16 weeks of diet lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I know the answer as to why but is anyone else annoyed that this fight took like 1 yr to make happen and yet Floyd/Manny took like 9 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't realize how drastic the water weight cut is and what these guys to replenish that after weigh-ins. A 10 lb gain in 24 hours is extremely easy after a big cut.

Pats#1 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 For anyone who hasn't cut weight before...look into how much water weight is lost in the last 24 hours of a big weight cut. They've got it down to a science. Extreme dehydration with rapid replenishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was an actual threat to Floyd, the other was not. The promoters for both sides in the Pac Mayweather fight were much more stubborn as well.

Like, I would walk around at about 200 pounds in the offseason. I'd diet down to around 175 during the season and then cut the last 10 or so pounds in water weight(I wrestled 165) a couple days before. And that was very common for everyone I knew. We could all put that water weight back on very easily. Maybe he does it differently, but that's just my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, wrestled 165 in college as well, walked around 185-190 in the off season while still in pretty good shape. The last 7-10 lbs, if you're making a significant enough cut where you hit a wall even with perfect dieting to stay in top condition, will always be fluids.

And it is easy to put fluids back in your system. Is it legal for them to get an IV after a weigh in? Cause that'd be the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually vaguely remember there being some controversy about Mayweather taking a pre-fight IV after the Pac weigh-ins because they say it can be used to delute testing samples or something?

It got banned in MMA when the USADA took over doping regulations. This is for boxing - The use of IV bags is largely prohibited by the Nevada State Athletic Commission due to concerns that IV hydration could be used to dilute the presence of banned substances, making anti-doping efforts more difficult. So I guess it depends on the state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnarok Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 It's actually an interesting study. https://mymmanews.com/intravenous-vs-oral-rehydration-weigh-ins/ Evidently oral rehydration has a better actual effect, but IV rehydration causes you to feel better faster. Seems a bit short term v. long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 11:45 I've read from a few places, but I'm not watching the stream yet so I don't know if things are slower or not. Has Fonseca vs Davis started yet?
