Question

boxing

Answer 1

yup alot that at night they probably almost p**s themselves.

Answer 2

yes, they drink as much as possiable after their weigh ins because they dehydrate themself to make weight but not right before the fight.

Answer 3

indeed

Answer 4

yes, they need water to hydrate there muscles so they dont tense up and lose flexibility, during a fight your body is under a lot of stress and alot of sweat will be relased, if you dont have water to restore yourself you will get dehydrated and pass out

Answer 5

I would believe so. They have to stay hydrated. I'm sure they don't drink gallons, or any other rediculous amount like that, but they should drink a good amount.
