But how does that work? Can't seriously be suggesting that sex physically drains a pro boxer? Serious...? I suppose I'm relating it to myself though, I rarely last beyond 2 mins.
I have no idea how it works, mate. Just speaking from experience, as a beast in the bedroom who lasts much longer then 2 mins...
Yeah I suppose it depends in that sense. I would have thought the argument was based on chemical inbalance rather than fatigue though. If thats true I'd probably just compromise and have quickies during training camp.
I think with fighters who've been affected, it's not just the sex per se, but everything else that comes with it. They were not just engaging in sexual intercourse but drinking and partying aswell.
I've heard Hopkins say he doesn't bother while his training has it weakens his legs. Whether he knows this has fact, or just believes what his heard i don't know. But he has said it a few times. Mendy's points were spot on in that interview. Love hearing tales from old fights.
