By the hand lotions, vaseline and makeup removers. It is like $1.00 for a small jar. If you had more time you could order it from a boxing supply website. You have ignored this user.

Chris, I am in montreal, I arrived last night and weighed myself on their scale.... 167 on theirs!! So I upped my water, and had to cut my intake at 1pm today since the weigh ins are 1pm tomorrow, NOT at night (which is cool in a way since I get about 32 hours to replenish). Right now Im 162, I feel a bit dry and havent done one cutting session yet... Im gonna do one tonight then tomorrow morn if needed... peace. You have ignored this user.

Don't guzzle all the liquids down to fast right off the bat or you will have a stomach ache like no other. You have ignored this user.

WestsideStrangler 48 Edited: 07-Mar-04 Member Since: 01/01/2001 Posts: 3726	I would diet most of it off but I would still cut about 6 pounds. 9 hours is still a decent amount of time to put 6 pounds back on easily. Don't bloat yourself like you normally would though because you may not get rid of it before the fight. You have ignored this user.

WestsideStrangler 48 Edited: 08-Mar-04 Member Since: 01/01/2001 Posts: 3752	Like after you cut water if you just pound the water back in you will feel sick and bloated in the stomach. It is ok if the weigh-ins are the day before becasue it will go away but if they are the same day you really don't wanna do that. You have ignored this user.

hey chris... unfortuneatly I lost by TKO with about 2 minutes left in the fight (3rd round)... I felt tired about 3 minutes into the actual fight, which was odd for me, could have been a variety of things I suppose. I fought a good guy, and I'm actually happier about how I performed in this loss than I have most of my wins. I went for a bunch of things so I dont regret it. Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

C-Hamzeh 1 Edited: 09-Mar-04 Member Since: 01/01/2001 Posts: 6750	ha, no need to apologize, I'm not sure it had to do with cutting the weight. I weighed 164 or so at fight time. Live and learn I suppose, I almost ended the fight on a couple occassions with a standing kimura, also with some big shots in the second. I'll be back in a few months once I fix up certain aspects of my training/nutrition. Thanks again. C You have ignored this user.
