Why Do Mexican Fighters chew on Peppers just before they fight

Question

Since performance enhancing drugs or substances is the topic of the day I was wondering why do Mexican Fighters eat Peppers just before they fight? Chavez did this during each of his fights througout his career, Margarito did this before the Cotto fight. Do they increase stamina or strength? If not why take them?

Answer 1

why do you ask stupid questions?

Answer 2

Cuz it enhances the taste of the mouth piece,gives it more flavor

Answer 3

Is this your next angle since the whole steroid excuse didn't work out for you and the other cotto fans. Pathetic. And next time when you type out something else about mexican fighters cheating please site your evidence, where did you get it from so everyone else could go and check it out and not think this is just some B.S. you are pulling out of your a*#...

Answer 8

Actually i heard that some boxers chew on candy before a fight so they can get an extra bit of energy. I think that it is like there own little ritual before a fight. That makes them think they have an edge.
