Boxers with Asthma

im not sure..but asthma hasnt slowed down briggs from eating and running his fat mouth

 

I have mild Asthma and fight amateur. I don't know about pro rules but I am allowed to take inhaler puffs right up till the fight and am required to have one of my coaches hold onto it during the fight. I don't think I can use it in between rounds. Only thing allowed during the match is water. I think you would have to forfeit if you needed to use it during the fight.

 

i grew up with bad asthma, lots of hospital rips,a nd fight pro with no problems, once i had it bad before a fight but for some reason the warm up made it go away, go figure?

 

i useed toi have it but when i started training and running everyday for bouts it just went so u shud do the same

 

Asthma inhalers typically contain steroids, don't they?

 

Nicky piper had asthma I think, he fought Nigel benn etc and is now a commentator for sky sports or ITV cant remember which.

 

Can't imagine being allowed to use an inhaler during a match, because fighters would be doing that **** every chance they get.

 

Shannon "Wheezy" Briggs would be an ATG if not for asthma....

 

and Krispy Kreame, Jack in the Box, Sonic, and McDonalds

 

3 year bump for the win. I have asthma and it sucks knowing I could never become a boxer if I wanted to.

At least when the next war draft comes Shannon Briggs and I are on easy street.

 

i would think that's a performance enhancing drug.

 

Asthma inhalers, for the most part are Steroids.

I believe an Asthmatic Boxer who has been diagnosed and treated for chronic asthma would have difficulty getting licensed to begin with.

Unless its minor, but if you watched the Documentary assault in the Ring, Resto explains that Asthma steroid pills were crushed up and mixed with water

 

It is a steroid, but all it does is reopen the bronchiole tubes of an asthmatic to (almost) normal levels after they start to swell and close.

An inhaler won't do anything for a non-asthmatic because their bronchioles are already open and not swollen. Except maybe get them high if they inhale enough of it.
