    Just a quick and possibley amature question regarding the first Arguello and Pryor fight.

    What substances can be used to enhance a boxers performance mid-fight? What would've most likely been used by Panama Lewis?

    Just curious. Thanks in advance.

    The great suspicion is that it was cocaine or some other stimulant.

    As mentioned, some kind of intense stimulant.

    Some drugs work unbelievably quickly. Ephedrine is a almost instant stimulant, certain benzo's are almost immediate in the exact opposite sense.

    Arguello would have won. I had the fight dead even going into the 14th. I suspect Ephedrine, or some kind of NOxplode supplement. Maybe it was some kind of redbull drink. Either way he got a extra boost.

    Erm, it was obviously a wee bit more powerful than an energy drink.

    Just out of curiousity, are there regulations on what fighters can drink in between rounds?

    Would something non-water, even if it was just Gatorade or something, be illegal?
