Question
Hey jackson I wanted to know if u could give me a breif summary of what I should do the week of a pro fight starting from Monday and the fight is Friday nite.just a heads up I fight at my walk around weight,so weight is not an issue!
Thanx in advance
EFF,
All weight lifting should be stopped for the week.
All sparring should be done with a face cage head gear.
No sparring after Tuesday.
Get full 8 hours of sleep every night....get up and go to bed at the same time ...eat at the same time everyday and take note as to the time of day you take a dump...
Normal run and/or workouts mon and tues...
wednesday - light workout, light run, no sparring.
thursday - no workout out, no run , no sparring.... eat, sleep and rest ...start drinking water throughout the day
friday - good breakfast... a satisfying lunch... no soft drinks...no chocolate... plenty of water....light dinner....nothing but water 3 hours prior to fight.... food should be digested, you should feel light in the stomach, hydrated and ready to roll.
good luck,
Jack

Experience
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
