Examples of a fighter being totally drained?

Chad Dawson vs Andre Ward is a recent example. Going down from 175 to 168, was getting hurt in sparring and stopped by Ward who hasn't knocked out a decent opponent.

 

RJJ after beating Ruiz and draining down to 175

 

Odh vs pack :deal

 

Well the thing about the Oscar - Pac fight is that it's ok to do that when you are young since the body can rebound alot faster.

When you are older your body can't do that. He was probably trimming himself down alot for 154 tbh.

 

Khan was killing himself to make 135 which led him to be hurt by Limond, Gomez and Prescott. Then he outgrew the 140 division meaning he was drained and then hurt by Maidana, Garcia and Diaz.

You'll see how much of an impact weight draining has on punch resistance when he goes up to 147 and laughs off his opponent's haymakers.

 

Oscar's intention was to come in light to match Pac's speed and justify the fight in which he is very much too big in case he wins.

 

I think that Nacho Beristain insisted that Oscar remain under the ww limit during camp and that's what messed him up. Not certain though.

 

These fighters cut so much weight, that one day of eating normally and rehydrating isn't enough to repair the damage they've done. Not just they're dehydrated, but they are tired from having barely any food.

Lalonde vs SRL was a good example.

 

Rios vs. Murray.

Sometimes a fighter taxes the body too hard and one day isn't enough to recover. I've been told weigh in day can feel like having the flu.

 

Dawson vs Adamek as well.

Probably the most extreme example of this in recent years is Chris Byrd when he went down to fight at light heavy. He looked like a skeleton.

 

Ray,with his usual manipulative aplomb,got a LHW belt at 168.
Top notch stuff from the master.

Look at Cotto at the Malignaggi weigh in.I was half expecting to see Bob Geldof jump in with The Cars playing in the background.

why did dela hoya unnecessarily drained about

than he needed to for the weigh in anyway??

i'm sure oscar had a properly calibrated scale with him close by the day or the day before the weigh in where he can check his weight at anytime.

 

Delahoya was drained. Roach admitted it, only *******s will argue against it.

Dawson was drained against Ward

Jones when he moved down from Heavyweight

Byrd moving down

See the pattern here?
