[anorak]

as I said they will usually drop at least 6 kilos before a fight, mostly in fluids. Anuwat will usually go back up 6 or 7 kilos from the morning weigh in to the evening of the fight and as I said it is often the case the fighters will go straight to a clinic after the weigh in to bve put on a drip to rehydratre, ive been present for this many times and it is not usually just one fighter, but several fighters on the same card that are doing this. Most of the Thai fighters are walking around at least 6 kilos above the weight they fight at, if you dont believe me go to a proper gym and see how the fighters prepare for a big fight at Lumpini or Ratchadamnern and you will see they will have those sweatsuits on for at least 3 days before the fight, if they are on on the tuesday card they willl be out jogging in those suits twice a day on the saturday, sunday and monday and again on the morning of the fight, there is also a sauna situated inside Lumpini by the scales to help fighters.
