Weight Query

Post by Ally-M1 »

Just wanted to ask other Amateur boxers this...

I have my first fight in 5 weeks time (UK), most likely at Heavyweight, I currently weigh 212lbs (i'm not soft which makes it a bit harder) so I have a bit to lose to get to 200lbs, I stand just under 6'2...

I was wondering if I am slightly heavier than is ideal, in that I mean should I aim in future to be nearer to 200lbs this close to a fight..?

Also, am I sufficient height as I don't want to be overly out reached?!

6'2 you can stay at your current weight, or stay at super heavy. It's basically up to you. There are 178 boxers who are your hight. There are boxers your weight 5'11 tall. I would sgo down to 201. 216-218 is the perfect super weight in my opinion, 215 too. See how you feell

Roberts - are you thinking about going super-heavy and weighing 215 in the near future?

I have though about it dennis, seeing as at the beginning of june I will be at 202, but then once i start to box again itll drop, but I have though about going super heavy, 210-218 no daoubt about it, well see how it goes in the next year or two.

Roberts - it is definitely something to think about, especially once you get to the point that you are struggling to make 201.
