    Be aware of when you're overdoing it and pull back on the training. Schedule in lighter weeks of training and make sure your nutrition and sleeping is right.

    I think it all depends on dates for a fight. But at the same time, at the amateur level, fight nights aren't always predictable, neither are tournaments. The important thing is to make sure you're well-conditioned, but not over-trained. When you know you're about to compete, train hard leading up to it, and take it easy just before.

    just tone it down last 2 weeks before your fight...

    ive read from many theres no such thing as overtraining as long as u get enough rest.
