Boxers fighting with Heat Prostration/ Dehydration

[Caractacus]

Which ones won with it and which ones lost ?

[Caractacus]

This was a well known example, it prevented Brian Nielsen from breaking Rocky Marciano's record.

[Expug]

Lamotta always had weight issues. Probably fought a number of fights dehydrated.

Angelo Jacopucci had died after this fight due to dehydration.
earlier he had tried to make weight for it

[Caractacus]

[gilgamesh]

Almost every fighter that has to make weight is dehydrated to some extent I'd think.

Mando Muniz told me he was never properly re-hydrated. He said there is an "art" to fighting dehydrated. He also said it didn't matter if his pre-fight meal was carb heavy or protein heavy, both had there advantages. Just a great man to talk with.

[Caractacus]

Possibly the most well know example.
-1952-

[Caractacus]

It was said to have been '104 degrees F ringside at the fight
at the end of the 10th round the referee went to SRR corner and asked "What's the matter ?"
SRR replied "I just want to go to sleep".
SRR claimed that was the last thing he remembered about being in that fight.
he lost 16 lbs.

[Ambling Alp II]

Would have been yet another huge win for Robinson. if he could have hung on.

[Caractacus]

read (somewhere) that it was "120 degrees F" ringside at this fight.
