If you cut back on lifting a bit, you still keep the benifits. Semi-perminant. Once you achieve it, it doesn't take much to keep it.

And I don't think that shocking your body up to and including the night before the fight is the best thing to do to make your body perform at it's physical best.

I would also like to point out that I have 2 yrs of boxing exp, and never once cut weight then either. I would say that people were hitting pretty hard and trying to knock me out then.

I didn't cut for boxing either. No one was wrestling me


I didn't know you were required to do it. I thought it was voluntary...

I require myself to be the best I can be.

Yeah, I know....I like it a lot too.

Better come back is you are what you eat



Anyway, I have expressed my OPINIONS here, and will not continue on an arguement about it. Afterall, it doesn't matter what I think about it. Only what the individual fighter thinks about it.I agree.

Stuff stuff and stuff, I think cutting is very important.
