WhiteSoxFan1 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I was just wondering, how do professional boxers lose so much weight in such little time. Im a big time boxing follower and ive seen many boxers lose up to 10-20 in 1 day, and also gain up to 10-15 pounds in a day (based on pre fight weight and unofficial night of weight) Are they just in the gym for 14 hours and not eat until the next morning or are they just in such good shape that their motabolism is that adjustable?

WhiteSoxFan1 Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 Oh I know what you mean, these guys are some of the most hardest working athletes in sports, but I was looking more for what they do physically and how they actually lose the weight.

Spiff Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 They starve themselves and work out in plastic bags and s***, just sweat it all out. Once you've done it a couple times I think it becomes easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I thought the title meant wearing boxers instead of briefs made you lose weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Don't eat and run in 5 sweaters for a few hours. You drain your body of the water it can shed for a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 They starve themselves and work out in plastic bags and s***, just sweat it all out. Once you've done it a couple times I think it becomes easier. Nope.... Honestly, they are already greatly conditioned, and they drop the bulk of the weight by just working out and eating even healthier than they are. I guarentee no boxer is losing fifteen pounds in a day or whatever it was. I have seen people lose six to seven, but fifteen is exaggeration. It becomes a way of life, it is not something you do, it is all you do. Boxing has the day before weighins too IIRC. That is what gets you. Generally, you go and binge after, plus all the liquids you take in. I am sure each boxer has his own routine, and I'd love to see who is dropping twenty pounds in a day.
