think i can make the weight?

13+ pounds over two weeks? :huh

A pound of fat is about 4000 calories, that will be your daily deficit if you want to lose it in fat weight. Sounds impossible and unhealthy to me. Dehydrating is another matter, I wouldn't risk it.

 

Whats your height and body fat percentage?

 

id try my luck at heavyweight.

are you fighting open class or novice?

 

If it's a novice tournament I wouldn't worry about it too much. Most guys aren't in good enough shape their first few bouts for weights to matter all that much.

 

Hmmm. Well, what's your weight today? Maybe try for a week and if it looks like you're really going to have to crash the following week, then don't do it.

 

Im 6' 1/2" with a % of 6.1. I fight amateur at 155. You would have better chances of winning your first fight if you made it a lower weight but like Amy said, most guys arnt in great shape for their first few fights yet making weight.

 

It's not his first fight - he's open class.

 

Just fight at 178 dude. You're right at the upper end of that weight class, close to the limit, so you shouldn't be too much smaller than anyone cutting down.

 

if your really fast you could even try your luck at heavyweight. that may be too much weight to cut. especially for a tournament. that or fight fewer people at light heavyweight.

 

i wouldnt risk it if i was you 13lb in under 3 weeks seems a bit harsh on your body mate
