Ambrose Mendy on Nigel Benn and Sex

I posted this in the Choi thread a couple of days ago.

Atberry- You think it might've been Eubank who sent that blonde to "distract" Nige?

 

I'm sticking with Eubank, LOL!

 

Going with Slip on this one. Eubank slipped the Blonde salt in there and silly bollocks fell for it again. Eubank knew Nige's weaknesess...if Eubank did do that i give him major props ..

 

Eubank is a genius...

Mand, what's your view on what Ambrose was saying about sex before a fight? I somewhat agree with him. I think it's more mental and if you convince yourself that you'll be effected by it then you will. Having said that though, from experience sex does take something out of you and weaken your knees and i'm not an expert, but you'll probabily also lose a lot of nutrients and vitamins.

If i was fighting i'd stay away from it too, just out of paranoia and caution more then anything, but i wonder just how much of it is myth?

 

My gut instinct is its a giant myth, I'd like to hear the scientific view though. I really don't see how tossing a load out is really going to affect you much. I do it all the time....

And feel no more bad than I already did.

It's true that a man is most honest in the 10 seconds after a wank than at any other time. Sometimes I think I like a girl until I've finished tossing one out over her.

 

Does getting up at 6am to do roadwork really make that much of a difference? :think

 

Calzaghe once said he was banging his missus on week of fight. I think it's a mental thing as well mate.

Everyone's different in life and in this sport especially and some guys can handle it some can't. I think the start of fight week is fine. 1 or 2 days prior to bout and your not doing self any favors.

 

Women weaken legs!

 

Whats the science behind it? Seems unlikely losing a wad of spunk is going to deplete your body of a great resource...am I wrong? Am I thinking on too much of a basic level here? Something to do with testosterone?

 

I think you're right fellas, it's probabily more of a myth. I don't know the science behind it though to really say it with any real conviction. As Mandanda says it depends on the individual. I've heard some fighters say they had sex before a fight and it really effected them.

TFFP, it's not just the 'wad of spunk' lol, i'd imagine the argument would be it effects your core strength?

 

In relation to sports, Chris Byrd proved this myth wrong

I know it's different but Manny Steward blamed Hearns having a strong massage on legs on day of fight with Hagler. I think any fighter who ****s a bird on day of fight isn't gonna be at best cos it does zap some strength from you no doubts. Doesn't mean you'd lose but lets say your fighting a guy whos not great you can do it and win. Fight a guy like Katsidis and i'd like to think any opponent would tell the ***** to wait till after for the dick!

Couple days before depending on opponent you can get away with it.

 

I had sex about four hours before my second last amateur fight and lost against a boy I really should have beat mainly because i couldnt get going and did nothing in the first round of a three round fight. Dont know if that is a coincidence or not. Wont do it again that's for sure.
