Bobby Lashley vs. Tim Hague headlines Shark Fights 21

[edman5555]

tim might take that...

[Mr. IWS]

I agree, Hague should get a decent line too.

That's weird. . .

The heavyweight division produced a no contest ruling due to
unsportsmanlike conduct. At the start of the fight, Joe Fierro extended
his hand to bump knuckles with his opponent, Phil Prianpafillo.
Prianpafillo decided to bump knuckles with Fierro's face instead –
twice. It was an obvious two-punch cheap shot, momentarily
knocking Fierro unconscious, and the crowd vocalized its
disapproval by booing Prianpafillo out of the ring. The judges were
quick to rule the match a no contest.

^^ should count as a KO IMO. "Unwritten rules" ftl.

Yeah, the dude is obviously a super-dick, but as long as the bell had rung, he was legal. I do kind of like that he didn't get the win, though. Would've been sweeter if he had been DQd.

I have a comp coming up and I am way fat. I haven't cut weight in probably 10 years, but I am going to be doing some cutting. I thought you guys might find my experience last night interesting.

Weight cutting has come a long way since I was wrestling. Back then, the sauna and the rubber suit was the only thing I knew. I have been seeing all these guys do the hot bath method, and after seeing the 30 pounds in 24 hours article, I took it for a test run last night.

I rubbed down with wintergreen rubbing alcohol first. I used about 1.5 bottles, even though I have read to use 8 bottles. I think the only thing this does is open your pores up... I think something like eucalytus would do the same thing. Anyway, it didn't hurt or anything, just gave me the feeling of standing on a mountain top, york peppermint patty style, except all over my body. I ran a pretty hot bath, not scalding but about as hot as I would like. I dumped in about 3 cups of epsom salt. I sat there for about 25 minutes.

I toweled off. I lost 1.3 pounds in the bathtub. But as long as I stayed warm, even room temperature, I could not stop sweating. Had I just went to sleep like that, I am sure I would have lost at least 4 or 5 pounds. I stood around for maybe 30 minutes, brushed my teeth, etc. I lost almost another pound. I went outside and cooled off at that point. All told, I lose a little over 2 pounds in less than an hour, and it was super easy and actually pretty relaxing. Far superior to the sauna.

I think I could probably do 10 or 12 pounds that way if I had all day, without being too uncomfortable. I need to do 4 or 5 for competition, I will probably just do 1 bath and then sleep in my sweaty filth.

Interesting story.

I've never tried to cut weight but it's always seemed to me like it would be a terrible experience.

BTW, how did the court thing go? Did it stream? I don't remember you posting a link. . .

Also, Larabars are awesome. I am addicted to those things (Key Lime Pie and Cherry Pie especially).

They did not stream it. It was on PBS here though. It went really well, like amazingly well.

^^^^Thats good shit. My son is probably gonna wrestle and wants to cut to 215 or whatever the class is under HW, In not sure. (2-something) I might pick your brain for shit like this, should he decide to do it.
