p.s. What's your #1 good complex carbs?

brown rice.

for dinner no complex carbs but fibrous carbs like green beans, broccoli. Green is good and takes longer to digest and fills you up like regular carbs.

It was a good fight, and close.a t least from my view and alot of the fans, judges scorecards were so far fetched was unimaginable. I didnt know now days they use the punch count system so early in the gloves, they never use to. According to the judges they had him out scoring me by about 100 punches. I am a very slick fighter and I do not get hit very much, I bursted out laughing when my corner man requested to see the scorecard. Had a few people in the crowd tell me they think I got robbed.

If it was based on the punch point system I agree I lost, but not by that big of margin or anywhere near it. If it were on the 20 point must, I won the first round, second and third were a coin flip, and the fourth round was his.

The kid had over 150 fights, couple time national champion, and already had 6 fights this year alone(Back in Febuary). Like I said it was my first fight in 7 years. My last fight was also in the Golden Gloves and that again was my first fight in over a year(Got burned out from boxing). I ended up fighting Michael Oliver(Current world champion now). I lost the fight, and lost every round. I was way out of shape and had only been training again for a few weeks. Had I of been in shape I would of dominated the fight, but no excuses.

The weight-loss killed my endurance. I couldnt eat anything at all the day of the fight untill my weigh in. I am still an amature, and losing/maintaining that weight was way to much for my body. Pro's do this to their body every fight, but they are allowed to weigh in the night before and replenish their body for a whole day, I only had a hour to do so.

After the first round I was totally spent. I went back to the corner and told my cornerman I had nothing left in the tank. I still went out and gave him a good run for his money though.

But no excuses asside, he is a great fighter and I am sure we will do it again. But not at that weight!

I am tired of the amatures and wanting to turn pro. I wasnt even going to go into the gloves as a matter of fact. My promoter was trying to put on a pro card up in my hometown but we couldnt get it done so I figured I would go into the gloves. But now I think I am going to get a few more amature fights, 20 or so, and then turn pro. Trying to fight atleast twice a month at the minimum.

Been fighting since I was 8 years old, so I have been in the gym a very long time. It's time for me to start making money with it.

Fellas, I think the question is.... would you?

Fellas, I think the question is.... would you?

Me? Would I what? Make money as a pro..?


Ugh not to like boast or nothing. But I am a very solid fighter. I've been told by numerous promoters, trainers, and former world champions I have everything it takes to become a future world champion. In the amatures I have already beaten three national champions, few of which who have been nationally ranked. Don't really want to throw names out there, if you don't want to believe me that's fine as well. I've been to the National PAL tournament, Silver Gloves, Junior Olympics, ABFs, and many other small tournaments locally(Silver Mittens, North Easterns).

I've been training and around boxing my entire life. I was always down the gym even before actually fighting. So yes, I would, and will.

This threads not about me, and I do not really like talking about my background or anything of the sort. Lets help the threadstarter and stay on topic =)

I never thought green beans and broccoli are carbs for some reason. But they are. That will be my dinner tomorrow.
I am still scared of eating. I had white fish, turkey breast, egg white, anise and kidney beans for dinner and one hour later I ate a half g****fruit with non fat cottage cheese. I am full. Each item was small, but total 700 cal, I think. I had 1200 total today. Do you think I should eat bigger breakfast and lunch and small dinner? I only have a few days left so I don't know how much difference that would make.
Hope I can make weight and do my last fight.
Any suggestion how to spend tomorrow, friday and the day of fight?

[DutchDynamite]

personally i would suggest no fruits after 6pm. The sugar in the fruit might be stored as fat when not being burned.

be care full with salt and soy sauce (1000x saltier than salt). It hold water.

the fibrous carbs or green vegetables are really good for you. Green beans, split peas, asparagus, salads give you the energy and "full feeling" like regular carbs and are slow to digest thats why they are considered family of the carbohydrates.

eat smaller portions but more frequently.

yes best is the inverted food pyramid. Dinner should be smallest, but of course this also depends on when you work out.
When you work out at night you need to eat after to restore what is lost, but not fatty, sugar or carbohydrates but more on protein and fibrous carbs.

When your work out is late afternoon and you can have dinner at lets say 6pm you take fast carbs, like white rice because they are absorbed fast in your body since your metabolism is still up (since you just worked out) this will be burned.

One way to bring up your metabolism is to do HIIT high intensity interval training. Walk on the treadmill for 30 sec. run for 60 sec, walk 30, run 60. You can do this for 15 min. It will make you tired. The reason for this interval is to bring up your heart rate quickly and your body is working over time even when you are no longer running and even when your heart rate has dropped to normal levels. Your metabolism will stay up fast 2 more hours after you are done with your work out - burning calories.
You should not do this more then 3 x a week MAX because your body gets a beating every time you do this. You will be dead tired after each session.

good luck!

ladybird, if u're desperate to lose the weight fast, i'd do a psyllium fiber colon cleanse or maybe a colonic - u can flush out 3 or 4 lbs of **** ( literally) that way and u'll feel better after, i promise

The Dirty nasty filth may be on the right path....you could try a 2 day colon cleanser but it seams you already eat a lot of fiber and might not have that much to lose and you have to replenish your digestive system with probiotics and good cultures if you do so.....

Try this today.....put your sauna suit on, weigh yourself and do an hour of cardio....do not drink any water and weigh yourself after....

When I was wrestling I dropped 11 lbs of water weight in 1 hour to make weight on multiple occasions.......I would try this and see if it works.....remember in a humid environment we can gain a couple of lbs absorbing moisture through our lungs as well. I would try this today and see if you can lose a few lbs........

Oh my god. 11 lbs in 1 hour! How is that possible? I have a huge respect for you guys who has done this. I now started marveling this whole thing- absorbing moisture through lungs! Yes, I am desperate, but because of this I get to see a new world that I wouldn’t have known if I weren’t overweight. You guys are awesome.
Some said wrestler knows the best- and I must tell you that for some reason I thought you are “WWF” wrestlers and I was wondering why those wrestlers need to lose weight. Silly me.
You guys are Greco roman outfit wrestlers. Cool!
One last questions. There are 2 opposite opinions on water intake. While losing water weight, do I cut back water intake or not. Some say drink gallons of water to make the body think they have to flush out i.e. lose water from the body. Some say cut back to minimum. No water drinking until weigh in. Those 2 opinions are opposite. Confused!

Thank you again for your advice!
