What weight would you walk around on?

Question

most boxers walk around at a higher weight than what they fight at. I walk around about 137, i am pretty fit. I have a fast metabolism. I started boxing this week. I have boxed before but I stopped for a while. My trainer said I can start competing in amateur bouts. Should I fight at 130 or 135???

Thank you

Answer 1

If you are fighting amateur you will need to weigh in each night of a tournament, so you can not lose down to 130 and hold that weight for several days.

Your natural weight is 137, so with control you can stay at 135 all of the time.

If you lose down to 130 you will feel weak and listless.

Answer 2

I agree with the other answerers. I've always walked around within five pounds of my fighting weight, give or take.

Answer 3

I agree 135.

Answer 4

135
