As far as fighters on this level (or on any level for that matter), I think over training is the worst excuse they could come up with. At the same time its one of the most legit things that can really effect you during a fight.


Its the worst excuse because you can control it, there is no obvious signs of it, there is no way to prove it, etc, etc (im sure I can come up with many more). Even if an athlete is severly over trained going into an event, if they lose then the opponent was purely better trained on that night. The athlete is healthy but their opponent trained better and is better on that night.


Its one of the most legit things that will really hurt you in the ring because when you over train its gonna hurt your cardio and that's the worst thing that can happen to you in the ring.
