After the “disappointing” $100-million De La Hoya – Pacquiao fight last December 6, which made most las vegas hotels fully booked, I got curious about how the boxers lose so much weight in so little time. The thing is, I have friends who do exercise in the gym on a regular basis. They have been doing this for months now but I really don’t see any improvement in their physique. They do boast that they have never felt better.  Still, it’s just NOT obvious.

Curiosity piqued, I did some research on how boxers lose weight fast.  I found out that people in the gym usually do only slow cardio workouts which generally won’t shed that much fat. Boxers, on the other hand, do intensive anaerobic workouts regularly which make them have those lean muscles. Moreover, fast, heavy punching and sparring can easily burn calories much quicker than regular gym workouts. The lean body of course can only be achieved by getting rid of garbage food in your diet (Yep.  Start ditching your BicMacs).

Boxing has been the weight loss choice by some people because they get results fast. That and the fact that they don’t get bored or easily tired because of the enjoyment and challenge they feel when sparring with a partner.  It’s cheap, it’s fun, and it works!
