Yeah....but you don't wanna overload on fruit either...can cause some diarehaa (sp) Just don't eat heavy. Brown rice...fish...chicken...in the days leading up too the fight. Then depending on what time you fight at try and have your system pre programmed to not be used to eating at that particular time. A light meal of Pasta can be ok too.

Well he didn't outright sh*t himself...but he had white shorts on. The camera zoomed in when he was on top and you could see a great big brown stain...apparanly he wasn't feeling well before the fight and had a bit of diareahha. It wasn't pretty.

That sounds scary... but I'll bet it's a good laugh.
I'm definitely going to take it easy on the fruit, I wouldn't want to be remembered in "that" way.

This is a charity event called Battle of the Badges, it's police against firefighters. It's an exhibition fight, not that big of a deal but regardless, I want to do well. I don't know what weight class I would be considered to be in.. the girl I'm fighting is 145 and I am getting DOWN to 155 or lower if possible. Surprisingly I'm not that nervous. Maybe when it gets closer to the time of the fight I will be.

Oh OK cool...so it's not like your gonna be throwing out omoplata's and kneebars and stuff? More of a boxing match I'm assuming? Let me know and I can lend a lil advice on that too if ya wish? How big are the gloves (probably pretty big?)

That's not too bad...Two round fights leave a good chance for a draw though? Unless there's a third tie breaker? You'd be surprised how much gas you will use in three minutes. I also assume your wearing headgear? Which makes a knockout kinda tough. So I wouldn't go for the big punches.
I would come out and feel her out for the first lil bit...maybe 30 seconds. Keep your HANDS UP!!!! ELBOWS IN!!!l with 10 oz. gloves you can use them effectively to block punches to your face. Just do the old double hand cover up. Keep looking for holes when you are blocking too. Look through your arms because your hands are gonna be together and there is a space in between your arms. Look for counter punches there. Body shots can be a big thing against inexperienced fighters too. They don't know how to breath properly, especially late in the round...look for a couple of shots to the stomach more so than the ribs.
Did I mention to keep your HANDS UP!!!!!!! ELBOWS IN!!!!!! Don't get into a brawl....outbox her. You need to let the judges see that you are boxing and not just throwing hands with someone until one of you falls. DO NOT move forward and backward...move side to side. Uppercuts work good in amatuer fights too. oh yeah and KEEP YOUR HANDS UP!!!!! Always. after you throw a punch get back to the same hand position. Keep your head covered by your hands as much as possible! even when your bobbing and weaving...which I know your gonna do
Be Patient...but if you see an opening ATTACK it mercilessly! Then get back to your gaurd. (with your hands up) Stay on the balls of your feet. Obviously its kinda tough to try and coach someone via the internet, but those are some of the things I would recommend. If you have time try and watch a few fights...Watch the lighter weight classes if you can. You will see how fast they punch and then cover. Thats what ya need to do in this fight...Punch and cover. and ofcourse KEEP YOUR HANDS UP AND YOUR ELBOWS IN!!!!!
Good luck...I know your gonna win. Let us know how ya make out.

Thanks for the advice. Now what was that you said, "hands up!!! Elbows in!!!"? (smile). I heard this girl was a cheerleader who is really into her looks and doesn't like taking punches. My coach went and watched her train and said she kept looking in the mirror and fixing her hair every ten minutes. My friend said I need to knock the pretty out of her.. lol. I don't percieve her as being a threat, but then again, you never know, right? I'm excited and nervous at the same time, not so much nervous about fighting her but nervous about being up in front of a bunch of people. Oh.. ya.. we will have headgear.
I guess there are going to be some toughman fights too, people with no fighting experience at all. Those are always fun to watch.

Oh yes...the old tough man contest. I went in one of those along time ago. What a blast.
DO NOT take pretty girl for granted. Go in Confident but not cocky. In the end all you really need to do is score more points than her. Do that by throwing more punches....preferably good ones...but just throw punches in bunches. Don't throw one at a time punches. COMBINATIONS! left... left ...right...back to your gaurd. Throw lots of punches at the end of the round too. If you can have your corner be able to indicate to you when the ten second mark is. They probably won't announce it. Just have em say ten seconds or whatever...then throw hard. You know you get rest soon...but it looks really good for the judges.
I know your gonna kill this chic...so just go do your thing and make us all proud! If you look like more of a boxer...you will score alot of points in these type competitions. Move around alot too...side to side Danielsan! Up aaaaaa Down....Paint the fence! Wax on Wax Off all over this chic!
Oh yeah...when the fight starts...you will not be nervous anymore...trust me! You will be walking in...but TRUST ME it will go away when the first punches are thrown. Just know that!
