How do boxers gain 14+ lbs in one day?

You are free to choose what you do or do not believe. I drove along side him as he ran, and kept the time. An average og 6 min per mile.

 

Thats ****ing impressive right there!!

He's doing 6 minute miles consecutively for 8 miles

 

Thats was 3 weeks out from the fight. From there the runs got shorter and less intense as we were going into last two weeks of hard sparring.

 

haha, sorry dude, didn't mean to sound like i doubted. "**** off!" was meant as a sign of amazement

 

Most boxers don't or simply can't run that fast a pace right? That's just out there. What pace do most boxers run when they run about 5 miles? About 7 or 8 minutes a mile?

 

No sweat. We were all pretty impressed. He had an amazing camp, and it showed in his KO of Teddy Reid. At that time Kermit was the only guy to ever put Reid on his back, and to this day Marshall and I still consider it his best performance.

 

I can only speak for fighters I trained. Julian Letterloughs mile time went from 10+ min to under 8 in our first camp together.

 

conditioner,

did you ever use any carb loading techniques with anyone during training or at any time up to the fight? Thanks for the info. :good

 

thank you. i've always wondered this as well.

my next question is, what the hell was de la hoya thinking when he fought pacquiao? couldn't he have made 147 using a similar approach to what you described?

 

Hey how you doing? I read Kermit had a good wrestling background and even receive scholarships for his wrestling career... I know many people are not fans of MMA or UFC and I could see why, everything has its negatives... I keep everything open, how would you think Kermit would do in UFC? He has had some good success in boxing for his start in age... Would he even be better doing an MMA sport? just out of curiosity...

 

always. carb depleting was part of the drying out process. Kermits pre weighin diet was strictly protein. After weigh in his rehydration came from karbolan, pedialyte, and water. Food intake was one steak right after weigh in. Sweet potatoes, raw oatmeal mixed in appleasauce, and babyfood.

 

Why babyfood?

 

what about stretching before or after training? I agree with what you said about the myth of fighters lifting weights. I know a few guys that use what they call "extreme stretching" for their fighters it is basically weighted stretching after training.

 

Kermit has the physical tools to succeed in any sport he would choose. His weakness is his fortitude as a man. Heart, balls, guts, or what ever you wanna call it. I know a what is considered and excellent striker in mma wouldn't make a good club fighter in pro boxing. So Kermits striking skill set would be unmatched. (Ray Mercer vs Tim Sylvia) Kermit was an awesome wrestler, and I am sure he would pick up ju jitsu with ease.

 

That is exactly what I did with Kermit. Stretching was always done post workout when the muscles, tendons, ligaments were warm, but the period of time we did it was short. Over stretching creates looseness in the joint structure.
