Where's Bacon?

5'10" walk around at 185#, fight weight 172#. First fight was at 168 and walked around at 179. Got screwed on that one, showed up for weigh-ins at 164 (in another state) 4:00 the day before as we were told (and is how everyone does them, 24 hours before)... at any rate got the shaft and had to hold 169 for an entire extra day (they gave me 5 lbs because of it)... but still try cutting 15 lbs in 24 hours, hold it for another 24 hours, and fight 2 hours after you have only ate a bowl of cereal after finding out you got screwed on the first day and some chicken pasta 2 hours before you fight... with hardly no water the entire time. At any rate, I took a beating after the 2nd round and didn't know where I was at by the end of the 3rd round. Had a mild concussion, the guy played speed bag with my face. Wasn't just the weight cutting though, I had no idea what it would feel like or what kind of conditioning you need to fight in front of a thousand people.
