EXPOSED!!! Xylocaine enhances floyd's performance (video)

Even though Floyd doesnt knock people out, he still punches hard, deterring his opponent.

 

Considering that most fighters, aren't training heavy during the last week of before the fight, even if he did take it, it still would have 0 effect for his performance come fight time.


And EDIT - You are nitpicking to try and take the story off Pac.

There's no story here, only that Floyd took something legal.

 

what a hypocrite

 

Even if he did use it, did he get caught? No. This is boxing, dude. PED's is common in boxing. Not everybody is on it, but, there are some. But, Floyd is definitely not the only one.

 

Funny enzo, you don't add the fact that it's LEGAL.

 

****, you know maybe he was rubbing that stuff on him.

Note: This still means ellerbe is a homo,:rofl

 

Interesting...:think But for me its not a performance enhancer for Floyd. It's to allow him to fight without being burdened by the pain his brittle hands go through. What they are accusing PAC of is not similar although it's VERY wrong on every concieveable level.

 

WEll what enzo did not add is that it's a legal cream/injection.

And only ILLEGAL a week before the fight.

If he would of taken that before a fight, he would of tested positive.

 

I think you appreciate that fact that what he using is illegal in 49 states is relevant. Also with the same logic that pacquiao may be using PEDS and getting away with it, whats to say mayweather isnt using this stuff and getting away with it?

 

Xylocaine can enhance boxing performance in various ways. Any boxer knows that three minutes against a live opponent in the ring is equivalent to like nine minutes full-out on the body bag. A big part of this has to do with the release of stress hormones such as Norepinephrine that are meant for fight or flight reactions over “short” periods of time only. Thus, stress can be good in a street fight but not in a drawn out boxing match. Many great boxers have never been in a street fight and I heard Lenox Lewis once wisely say that altercations outside the ring can actually mess up your boxing rythoms/adaptations.

SWIMMING, OVERTRAINING, RECOVERY AND NOREPINEPHRINE
By: Owen Anderson http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/peak34.htm

Norepinephrine known as noradrenaline outside the USA, is one of the 'stress hormones' and affects parts of the human brain where attention and impulsivity are controlled. Along with epinephrine this compound effects the fight-or-flight response, activating the sympathetic nervous system to directly increase heart rate, release energy from fat, and increase muscle readiness. It is released from the adrenal glands as a hormone into the blood

In the event, the change in performance associated with recovery was most effectively predicted by changes in plasma norepinephrine concentration, heart rate after the max 100m swim and the POMS (Profile of Mood States) measure of the psychological state of confusion.
Decreases in plasma norepinephrine and increases in max heart rate were associated with better performances, as were reduced levels of confusion. Plasma norepinephrine was the best single predictor of performance, with changes in concentrations of this hormone predicting 82% of the variation between pre- and post-tapering performances!
What conclusions can we draw from this? Bear in mind that norepinephrine is primarily secreted by nerve cells in the sympathetic nervous system, with the effect of elevating heart rate and boosting the rate of breakdown of glycogen and fat for energy.
It also enhances cardiac contractility, allowing the heart to pump more blood per beat. Thus, it would be logical to assume that a rise in norepinephrine levels would be advantageous - a hoped-for outcome during recovery.
Surprisingly, however, the reverse is true. Research has shown that increases in plasma norepinephrine levels are actually linked with staleness in athletes. For example, in a fascinating six-month study carried out with 14 elite swimmers, researchers found that the three athletes who exhibited signs of overtraining (based on performance decrements and high, prolonged levels of fatigue) had significantly higher levels of norepinephrine from the mid-season onwards(3).
While this seems like a paradox, remember that increases in norepinephrine could be viewed as a neat adaptation to too much training - the body's courageous attempt to cope with an excessive workload. With lots of norepinephrine circulating through the tissues, heart rate would rise and energy mobilization increase as part of a concerted effort to withstand the unusually demanding training schedule.
In this light, drop-offs in norepinephrine could be seen as a sign that the body was under less stress, that it had adapted to the preceding training and had less need to fling the neuroendocrine system into overdrive in order to cope with the workload.
And that was precisely the case in the current Australian study: athletes with the biggest drops in resting norepinephrine levels tended to show the best improvements in performance. At the ends of their recovery periods, they were simply in less stressed-out states. (And here it is worthwhile remembering that norepinephrine and its sister epinephrine are considered to be two of the body's principal 'stress' - or 'flight-or-fight' - hormones).
The Australian research is in line with other work in this area, and therefore it appears that norepinephrine could serve as a decent and reliable marker of training progress and work-recovery balance. If norepinephrine shot up, it could well be a time to enhance recovery and cut back on total training load; declines in norepinephrine, on the other hand, would be a sign that training was going swimmingly.
The trouble with this approach, however, is that few athletes have the medical and/or financial resources necessary to monitor plasma norepinephrine on a regular basis. That being the case, what other - more convenient - tools could be used to assess the adequacy of recovery?

 

That's why it's a valid point.....but PAC isn't using PEDs....Floyd wants to make people think he is for some reason. either to build anticipation for the fight when it gets made or to avoid the fight with PAC altogether. What the thread starter is tryin to say is that Floyd is on PEDs and how ironic is it that he's trying to accuse PAC of the same thing he is doing. For me the PEDs that he uses are for legit reasons even if they are banned. I'm glad he has this PED b/c it allows one of the best talents to compete in the sport I love to watch and participate in.

 

get your facts straight. why is pacquiao fighting now in texas against clottey?

 

it's simply a bluff tactic.

 

Do you any of you ****er even no what lidocaine does? It numbs you. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less.

Doesn't make you stronger, faster, quicker, hit harder.. nothing but numbs your hands.

Non story.

 

NSAC doesn't seem to agree with you...
