Dont no what my natural weight should be...

Just get in shape and learn the basics and your coach will tell you when you are ready for a fight. You'll lose weight through training and running if you are over weight. But don't worry about it for now.

 

box when you'v lost the fat cuz remember the bigger they are the harder they hit

 

Well, most boxing trainers want you at the lowest weight possible, at least the lowest weight you can be while still carrying a ton of power. How wide is your back? This could help determine how weight you can carry, while still be strong at that weight, if you have slight built, your best bet is to lose the weight and try fighting at 154, you will be stronger than most at that weight, for your height. At 5'9, will say 168, you would probably be in alot of trouble at super middle, where most guys are around 5'10-6'0, your natural weight is more and likely closer to 154.

 

I'm at a non-fighting shape 175lbs.
I can probably fight at 160.

 

you'd be supprised how far you can go with losing weight i was 168 pound got down to 147 thought id be fighting at that then i picked up my trainin and diet and ended up at 123

 

I had the same issue... I was 5"7 and weighing around 190-185lbs... But my trainer said I had to get down to at least 160lbs to even consider getting into the ring and being serious. Then I would fight at 154 come fight night.

Currently I am at 170-175lbs 3 months in. Its hard, but you have to make a lifestlye change. Don't yo-yo diet.

I got some advice from Mr. Philadelphia (weight lifting champ) and he said the most effective way is to prepare or write down your meals for the day. So your not just picking up anything and shoving it in your mouth.

 

diet plans are definetly best

 

Lots Of Water!!!

 

2 right
a lot of boxers see water as weight gain they couldnt b more wrong

 

Very cold, a article I read in mens health states that cold water helps with the fat around your stomach and helps regulate your bodies temperature, while also helping you eat less and digesting your food better.

 

You guys do realize that 154, 160; these aren't amateur weight classes. The actual amateur classes are much further apart in weight.

 

I dont think weight is a huge issue in the ams as long as your not fat there is nothing worse than feelin weak at a weight when you have come down too much!Many pros fight more than a stone below there am weight when they enter the paid ranks.

 

When I got into boxing a year and a half ago I weighed 193 lbs. at 5'10", by last summer 6 months in I was about right for a am match at 163.. I felt a little weak at that weight, I'm 32 so not sure if that made a difference.. Now when I do not train real hard for a month or so I walk around at about 180... Want to get a match this summer and probably get weight down to 165 or a touch less... Not sure i would want to be much lighter... My trainer thought I could have dropped 5 more down to 158 or so, just felt a little small and weak, but he knows best. What I say is get in as good as shape possible, lose as much fat as you can and still feel strong and that is the right way.. Think its just a matter of getting in diesel shape and seeing what you weigh, not picking a weight and getting to just that mark. Everyone carries weight differently...

 

i went from 168 to 125 and felt stronger
