What is a fighter supposed to do if...

You could say this for any sport not just boxing. Basketball, Baseball, Tennis, Track and Field.

You are suppose to all good during the event, and if you need to go surely you can hold it in until the end of the event. If it is that bad then you gotta go but you should have been prepared earlier.

 

I raced track competitively for about a decade, 300+ events probably. Always took care of business before the meet, wanted to feel as light and focused as possible. It was ritual. I think all athletes plan this stuff in their game day routines. The only things that might affect them adversely would be a bug or extreme aerobic stress (such as some unfortunate marathoners have discovered). Still, it must have happened in a ring at least once.

 

You've never encountered diarrhea during all that time?

Good **** indeed.

 

I remember Arguello mentioning this about one of his opponents, who he refused to name. He said every time they got close, he could smell something, implying the guy squirted diarrhea in his shorts.

I would say that most guys have been sparring and fighting long enough to know how to time their shits. Athletes who are more in tune with their body and its functions should be able to do this better than the general unhealthy public, who I'm constantly amazed at how many people take shits in public restrooms.

It's like almost every public bathroom I go in, there's some jackass having his way with the toilet... I don't have anything against it, and you have to do what you have to do, and I've been struck with an emergency or two myself, but I would think people in general could think to take a **** in the comfort of their own restroom before going to Best Buy or out to eat.

 

I used to run races of everything from 5k through full marathons, and we always had the benefit of porta-johns along the race course (at least for half and full marathons). Lots of folks use them, for sure...........

 

Well, if you're a professional fighter, don't be that guy.

 

The Arguello incident was against cornelius boza-Edwards and tape backs it up...

 

None that I can remember. I do remember frantically looking for bathrooms a few times. It was almost superstitious that I drop the kids off at the pool before warming up.

I know Greta Waitz, the late, great Norwegian marathoner, got the runs during one of her New York Marathon victories and it was pretty obvious. And there is a horrible picture circulating the internet of some dude, who looks like an elite marathoner, completely covered from waist down in brown... but still running... I don't care to look it up but it is easily found.

 

good thing he got the ko and put him out of his misery

 

That would suck- shitting yourself and then getting knocked out.

Bad day.

Professional cyclists often just let it run. These men are going past their physical limits, juiced up to the hilt, and require transfusions after every day of a multiple week course in which there are but a few resting days,

They sometimes literally **** themselves on the bike. No diaper, because that would weigh them down. The tv-crew never films it out of respect, but sometimes you can see it a bit. :barf
