cardio help..

What Adm said. You will not put 15 lbs on effectively in that short of a time. If you do want to limit weight loss, maximize efficiency in cardio though in the interim, then consider doing only sprinting. And be sure to fuel up extensively before and after.

Look up types of HIIT sprinting, as in tabatas etc to consider. Shortest possible time done, maximum benefit. Assuming you are fightin an amateur 3-4 rd match would be best. Should be lots of links on this site, and certainly on the web.

thanks a lot, ill deffinitely look into that. deffinitely makes sense if i can maintain the same cardio endurance and lose less calories why not right?

but can anyone tell me HOW i should be lifting? you said not to lift like a bodybuilder, what did you mean by that?

lol wut? I did no such thing. In fact, if gaining weight and mass and strength is your goal, heavy lifting would be one of the best approaches. The problem lays in that in requires a lot of recovery time. And having a week already busy with boxing training and additional cardio, you'll be hard pressed to find that time. But if you can manage to pick and choose properly among the programs to get sufficient recovery, you can do it.

For a good introductory program into heavy lifting I would recommend Starting Strength. You might want to google that and it's creator Mark Ripptoe for more info. But if you are fighting in a month, it will definitely be too much to try to take on. I'd just focus on training and building cardio until you have more time between matches to introduce that sort of intensity...and when cardio isn't as important.

High Fructose Corn Syrup will do the trick..You will put weight on believe me.It enters the body not as a typical sugar does(being broken down by liver),so it's skipping the metabolic process..There is a Princeton University study on this so you can read more..It's molecular structure is different and it stores as fat immediately... Try and buy it in liquid syrup form from your local supermarket...It should be located in the section that has honey,sugar and artificial sweetners...
