This argument particularly irritates me. Let me put this argument to rest!!! Loosing 4mls of blood a few days before a fight does not weaken you! Normal everyday people are regularly donating (something I would encourage more people to do by the way) pints of blood and having no lifestyle change.
Do you have any idea how much fluid you loose training. What happens if a few days before the fight you get a bloody nose sparring? do you call the fight off?
Manny has often been profusely bleeding DURING the fight and that hasn't seemed to affect his performance!
My background is that I'm working as an Emergency Doctor, next year I will be working in Intensive Care and training to do Emergency Retrievals, and then start a career in Trauma Surgery.
If a 90 year old frail lady came into my ED, bleeding out from a big wound and was going into shock from blood loss, and my intern turned round and told me that they didn't take regular bloods because they didn't want to weaken her further, they wouldn't be my intern for long!![]()
