Surely he wouldn't constantly demand for something that is Hazardous to ones Health.
They slowly loss the weight during training camp. This is actually a reason some fighters look bad in fights. They are so high above the weight limit that they have to worry more about weight than the actual game plan.
At weigh-in day, they do not eat or drink anything just to make sure they make the weight, after the weigh in, they rehydrate and stuff themselves back to huge weights.
Healthy? No idea, maybe so since fighters have done that since years...
They do it in about 3 months. This is during training and preparing for the upcoming fight.
My nephew fights MMA and walks around at 180 to 185. He fights at 155. Strict diet and hard training will bring him down to about 170 about 2 weeks before the fight. With one week before the fight he is usually around 165. The last week it's dehydrating time. Lots of workouts in plastic sweats. Lot's of time spitting in a jar. He won't even swallow his own spit. If he's over before the weigh in the day before the fight, it's hitting the steam room. He always makes it then he goes down to the casino parking lot where the promoter has a paramedic wagon there to give him 2 bags of saline solution in an IV. By fight time he walks into the ring at 170.
Healthy: Probably not. But when your young it's OK. Older fighters have a hard time recouping from this.
lol
Many unhealthy people do this all the time (lose weight drastically in a short amount of time). Yes it is unhealthy but the pro fighter who is a legitimate middleweight should really fight as a middleweight and not try to be a wannabe welterweight. If he does then he has to know the potential downsides along with the upsides of course.
I can lose a big amount of weight easy enough if I need to, when I train properly in 3 to 6 months. But I have a day job so I don't need to be a pro fighter.
Real pro fighters know what they are doing (or should know or at least they have people in their camp who knows) so nothing really escapes them if they want to do this then they know full well what they are getting into.
Not healthy. That's more than 20 lbs Canelo to lose. Floyd's a cheat. He's gonna drain a green horned Canelo to get a fking advantage. Fking clever azz.
i mean does he train for months on his walk around weight then drop it to meet the catchweight on the weigh in?... aint this hazardous to one's health?
or he starts to lose weight gradually as he trains until the weigh in... then rehydrate after and go back to his walk-around weight on fightnight?
is this healthy, medically speaking?
