ECC 16: Proving Ground Weigh in Results

They sure take there tittle fights serius in ecc

And Walker misses by almost 4lbs …must have taken his weight cutting advice from Goodall…

CODY…IActually like that rule..it makes sense and is fair…

3 round fight.no title, 20% purse deduction, and goodall gave hadin an extra 500$

Allen hope I suggest you harden the fuck up

Ricky I am very happy to see you take full responsibility without any excuse, and very big on your part to give hadin 700 on top of the 20% deduction from your purse.

I my self have never trained for a 5 round fight but i’ve helped several partners prepare for 5 rounders and the amount of extra work to go from 3 rounds to 5 is more then I can imagine, to be ready to go fro 3 full rounds takes everything I have for 9 to 10 weeks thats at twice a day, for hadin to do the extra then get stopped because of Ricky’s “miscalculation” I cant imagine what he felt.

Just my opinion from past experience but being 170 the day of weigh ins having to cut 15 lbs in one session is unreasonable, risky and dangerous. Good luck to you guys tonight.

Ricky turn the computer off n start acting like a pro for this fight.
if u felt the need to post before ur fight all u should have said was sorry I fucked up I’m an idiot. not explain n make excuses.
no one cares if u can make 155 2 weeks after weigh ins. we care that u make weight for ur fight. we couldnt careless what u do or how much u weigh the rest of the time.

Ricky is a good fighter and smart as they come for diets. ?BUT he can not make155, three attempts three fails. I say bulk up and fight at 170 cause April 20th if he doesn’t make weight elite one will be upset with the outcome of losing that fight on there show.

if u want credit for losing 50 pounds talk to ur friend I’m sure they r impressed n proud of u. but the rest of Canada is disappointed that u continue to sign contracts at 155 n don’t make weight. its disrespectful to ur opponents that take this sport serious.

If you use a sodium load you do it for 2 days the Friday and Saturday a week before the fight. All salt ceases at that time and no sodium is consumed from that point out until weigh ins. None.

Even the chicken is boiled to remove natural sodium.
And you begin distilled water staring Monday, 12 to 16 litres per day to flush all remaining sodium until 5 pm the night before weigh ins. And only zero sodium foods, like brocolli and boiled chicken are eaten from Sunday until 5 pm the day before weigh ins.

The theory is tons of sodium to cause TEMPORARY water retention a week out and then all is flushed Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday with grotesque amounts of distilled water. Your body’s desire to achieve equilibrium causes it to overcompensate and dry out.

NEVER try something new the week of a weight cut!!!!!!!!

I used a very similar technique as Robin has explained minus the mass amoun of water I used around half or a little better then that. sunday I was 175 tuesday 172 wednesday 24 hours before weighins I was 169 morning of weigh ins 164, few hours later 155 on the money, fight night 179-180.
I walk around at heavy weight so if I can make it anybody can make it. Id be glad to counsil you for your next cut.

Robin and Dave. Just a quick question. Where did you guys learn how to cut like that? Books? Your trainer? It seems very concise and scientific. I’ve always been in awe at how you guys make weight then put so much weight back on so fast. Its really amazing. More info would be great.

This is the theory on the heavy water load (12 or more liters of water per day):

The average person is walking around with up to 15 pounds (or much more for big people) of “carried water”. This is water you keep deep in tissue that will come in handy if you find yourself trapped somewhere without water. Its an evolutionary self-preservation device.

When you start hyper-hydrating with distilled water you flush all sodium, yes, but more importantly you start telling your body “water is becoming so plentiful that we do not need that 15 pounds of carried water” any more”.

So your body starts peeing it out aggressively and replaces it with the even-more-temporary distilled water.

You pee a dozen times a day and pee out that “carried water” and replace it with the distilled, which your body doesn’t hold onto so tightly.

Then when you stop drinking abruptly at 5 pm the day before weigh-ins you keep peeing like crazy maybe 6 or 8 more times that night, in the night and, especially, in the morning and pee out the 15ish pounds of distilled.

I’ve seen someone go to bed full of the temporary water and pee like a racehorse in the night and morning and weigh 10 or even 12 pounds less 8 hours later.

Peeing over 10 pounds in 8 hours is nuts.

Its a weird feeling tho for the last day and a half, you feel so bloated but oddly dry and thirsty. It sucks but it works.

Its pretty neat stuff what the body can do.

Ricky Goodall – “Cutting for the past year hasn’t been an issue and won’t be for April either”

If it hasnt been an issue for you in the past year, then you must have never fought at 155 in the past year cause you have NEVER made 155! This is your job, if you sign the contract for 155, make 155! even missing weight once is a slap in the face to your opponent and to the sport, and if it happens once you make sure it DOESNT happen again, but this is the 2nd or 3rd time youve missed weight and youve NEVER made it yet, so your 0/2 or 0/3, which is 0% success rate at making 155, which isnt good any way you look at it

I can’t hear you over the cake you’re eating
