Big boxing match tomorrow! How can I gain energy prior to the fight?

Question

The fight is around 2-3 pm. I'm going to cook pasta around noon and take a multivitamin with B12, as well as drink gatorade. I will drink gatorade throughout the fight, but how much should I drink BEFORE the fight? What else will help? I need something that will prevent me from getting tired during the fight!

Answer 1

steroids

Answer 2

The primary purpose of the pre-competition meal (i.e. sparing or the actual match) is to delay fatigue. Just how much you will feel fatigue depends on your conditioning and the length of the match primarily, however, it can be delayed with the proper pre-match meal. Some times the difference between winning and losing a match is in how well you can finish when your opponent is tired and vulnerable – the difference between victory or defeat.

There is no one-size-fits-all prescription for the pre-match meal. Different people react differently to the same foods. Try to find food that won’t cause “nervous diarrhea” and will help to maintain focus and endurance. A few guidelines:

• Eat low-glycemic foods, such as whole grain cereals, certain fruits, sandwiches made with whole wheat bread, etc., approximately two to three hours before a competition. The closer to your match, the smaller the meal. This will help sustain blood-sugar levels. • Keep protein and fat intakes low because they slow digestion.

• Avoid bulky foods, like raw fruits and vegetables, dry beans, peas and popcorn
• Avoid gas-forming foods such as vegetables from the cabbage family and cooked dry beans.
• Drink 400 to 600 mL (14 to 22 oz) of fluid two to three hours before exercise depending on tolerance.
• Do not try new foods just before a match. Eat foods familiar with your digestive system.

Answer 3

forget pasta, consume beans, lentils, etc. some kind of high fiber low GI carb. pasta doesn't hold a candle to all natural carbohydrates

pray for your opponent and his love ones. you´ll gain self-control. he´s probably asking the same question and will probably have the same answer but it is self-control what you need to manage and maximize your fuel and strength
