On May 16, Puertollano will host a boxing and kick boxing evening with high-level fights. The event will bring together boxers and fighters from different categories in a vibrant atmosphere, offering professional and amateur bouts that promise to attract fans from the region. A day designed for excitement and sporting spectacle.
The technical preparation behind each fight 🥊
For a fighter to step into the ring, the work begins weeks before. Training includes cardio, strength, and specific technique sessions for each opponent. In kick boxing, combinations of punches and kicks are polished; in boxing, footwork and defense are key. Coaches adjust the plan based on the opponent's style, while fighters manage their weight and rest to be at 100% on event day.
The only foolproof diet plan: don't eat before you weigh in 😅
Of course, the funniest part of preparation is the last-minute miracle diet. Many fighters wait until weigh-in day to discover that yesterday's churro weighs more than their opponent. Then it's time to sweat in a tracksuit and fast like monks, while cursing the coach who said don't worry, you'll make weight. In the end, they step into the ring with the strength of a skeleton and the hunger of a wolf.
