I need to weigh 185 for a fight. I am 19% body fat and weigh 226 right now. I was told by my trainer after he used caliper that at 10% . I would still be at around 200 or so. I am 5 ft 10 and most of the guys in my gym that are around 205 are 6ft 2 or so. I have a hard time while sparring tall guys. Plus they hurt alot more that the 185ers. I am an old man in this sport i am 34 and havent had a fight since 93. I need to be at 185 and not kill my almost non existant cardio.
