[eazy_mas]

April 28th... I walk around at 60-61 kg (132-134?) but im fighting at 64kg (141)

So i'll be at weight disadvantage!

sometimes you have advantage of speed which is good against them

UAE=United Arab Emirates?

Uzbekistan has some serious amateur fighters... Hope my guy can avoid those in the tournaments he's competing in.

We have some great amateur champ in the gym ( which is the national team) some particpated in the Asian olymipis last year i think but 2 guy lost and one retired from the competition.

The problem is no one care about boxing and another thing they dont have off from the army to go to competitions which makes it pretty diffcult to train in near competition but some guy build there is on of the guy's who legacy alreay even if they lost in asian games in the first fight they won the Arab competition, Military amateur competition and even KOing the African champ a Tunsian fight in 2nd round and couple of thing it was there prime time but problem of work and home make them hard to train better and prepare for the fight sometimes they go camp in morocco, egypt, Bosina Uzbek.

another thing is they went to a competition ins Thia i think it Militery amater that which every boxers from another coutries militry competite in it and Thia guy are pretty fast and hometown heros

Why move up? Weight problems?

Why move up? Weight problems?

Because he has to get under 132 to go down. Basically he's walking around at the low end of a weight division, and he's fighting at his walkaround weight, which is kinda dumb... But maybe his coach doesn't want him worrying about losing weight for his first fight?

I'm in a similar annoying situation. At least in Canada, there's 64kg and 69kg, I walk around between 67-68 (without a lot of food/water inside me) be for the life of me can't get down to 64kg without like killing myself, but also have a hard enough time getting to 69kg and staying there lean.

[PunchDrunk]

I hear you. It was much better when they had 63.5, 67, and 71kg divisions in the amateurs. It would fit my 69kg guy much better to be at 67 as well... They had to change it, because the Olympic Comitee wanted them to cut back on contestants for the Olympics. And amateur boxing is nothing without the Olympics, so they took out light middle, and adjusted the rest.

Limits in New Zealand 60kg (light) 64kg (light welter) I know I could make 60KG easily, but my coach doesn't believe in sweating it off or not eating for a bit... which is a bit annoying really because I believe I would feel fine after cutting it down to 60... I mean I walk at 61 max so hmmm.... Dunno what to do

[Trick]

Ya, I don't like the broader way it is now either

@Veldrak

If you walk around at 61kg, You should probably try to fight at 60 man, unless you're already at your bare minimum, which I doubt. For 1kg, you wouldn't even need to really cut on fight night, just the week before just watch your weight a little closer. If you were like 62-3 ish, then I'd agree with your trainer saying it's not a good idea to try to cut it before fight. But I think you could make 60 man.

[veldrak]

I agree also, I think the best bet in my opinion is to drop to 60, which wouldn't even really be a drop.

But no, my trainers don't seem to agree.... so I don't really know what to do, I mean there are no other trainers where I live!

[Trick]

That's a really annoying situation bro, and that's kinda dumb of your trainers.

Maybe try to just drop the kg and walk around at 60?

[veldrak]

That's what I'm trying to do. Normally before I go to bed, I eat a few snacks, Like fruit and stuff, which I have cut out. What other small things can I do to walk around at 60?
