Recap
1. Lack of cardio
2. Underestimating your opponent
3. Neglecting sleep
4. Lazy of diet
5. Mismanaging your training priorities
6. Not having your head in the game
7. Lazy on your diet after you made weight
Even the best fighters in the world start making silly mistakes that lead to loses. I've heard about Tyson's mistakes prior to the Buster Douglas fight.
I was training along side Buakaw before his KO loss to Sato. I couldn't believe how chill his training was. Especially after hearing how Buakaw always trained like an animal.
Stay focused!
I love buakaw
I think one thing you didn’t mention is drinking culture. I came from Lethwei scene where some top fighters like to drink too much too often during the training camp. It’s crazy.
I heard Niccolino Loche had absolutely terrible cardio, but because he was so relaxed he used his energy much more efficiently. I think Lerdsilla and Emmanuel Augustus, though they no doubt trained much harder, also exhibited ungodly cardio as a result of a relaxed demeanor.
Do you believe that mindset, and staying calm, could actually have such a dramatic effect on a fighter's ability to last through till the final bell - even with a lack of cardio?
Relaxed and calm is always good. I have first hand experience in that
The Cardiovascular system aka cardio - your lungs and heart ventilate your muscles, brain and organs as they work, providing fresh oxygen and taking away CO2.
Training cardio will improve your ventilation system, allowing you to push harder for longer. Being relaxed will decrease your need for ventilation because your body will need less oxygen and create less CO2, which will also allow you to push harder for longer.
CARDIO CARDIO CARDIO!!! I just fought in the Golden Gloves this past Sunday (I won). I do cardio seven days a week, but still by the end of the second round I was like, I have to change up my cardio retinue and do more sprints. And I had a problem not being able to drop the last two pounds. I was drained when it was time to fight.
Sounds like you had a diet issue not a cardio issue, congrats on the win
@@popandlock69 Or more like I'm a female who is 37 years old and was on my period.....
My diet is as clean as it can get, I'm a vegan fighter that makes all of my meals from scratch.
And yes, I still have to hit cardio harder.
@@sexybluelady maybe try eating meat
@@zrod6348 If I want to gain 10 pounds and have a horrible recovery rate and bad periods, I will. Until then, I'm happy being a vegan, and not having to deal with any of that crap and still being able to fight against women half my age.
@@sexybluelady you can have a “clean” diet and still not be eating properly for a weight cut
What advice would you give to fighters who have a hard time sleeping the night before the fight?
Oh man. I also have a hard time sleeping the night before competing.
But I have a list of things I've start incorporating which I'm going to use in my next fight.
I'll put together an episode to properly break it all down for you.
Thats a great question. I need some advice too because i cant fall asleep before fighting. And only being able to sleep for like 3-5 hours which is terrible...
Really good Point. I just had a sparring fight without decision and was awake the whole night. I felt terrible. Fortunately everything went well but I dont want to experience it again when I have a real fight coming.
Zzzzquil
smoke some flower 😁
Dude you're the best fighting channel on this platform thank you 👊
Thanks for the awesome comment.
Another thing to key thing remember relating to underestimating your opponent , never assume a combat sports athelte hasn't got power . Forget KO ratios and even how their punches feel , never get complacent. A lot of fighter's are just waiting for the perfect instance to hit you at 100%
As a fan, i knew from the start you were going to talk about underestimated opponents... Love your vulnerability and honesty. that's what's keep me coming back!
Thanks for all these tips, Gabriel!👊
Your videos has inspired and helped me a lot. I appreciated it so much. Keep it coming.
Thank you! Will do!
Great timing for this video to drop. I'm fighting on Sunday, this tips definitely help. Thanks for that.
So much value thank you 🙏❤️
Cardio is my weakest part of my routine atm. I agree, without stamina, if got in to a skuffle I only have about 2 mins to defend myself before I'm gonna start losing the stamina. Though I don't leave the house much, and I practice martial arts for health rather than prowess, cardio is my next bit. Gaining the muscle first for someone like me (I'm chronically ill lots of issues) was more important for my hormonal balance and to be able to lose weight faster with less work. I'm comfortable with my muscle gains, now it's time to start to trim down with a huge focus on cardio. Can't wait to hit the trails near my house cause I've lived here a while and never had the health to actually do a bit of hiking. This will be a first for me. And I'm pretty happy with my progress. Thanks for the video. Just gives me more motivation.
Fack yeah mate! All the best to you health!
Gabriel I loveee your videos man seriously help me alot.
I along with many other greatly appreciate these videos. Thank you for making this free. I got a tournament coming up in 57 days. To get the belt I will have to fight 4+ times in 3 days depending how many more people join.
Could you make a video on how to prepare for a tournament? I know it’s way different than preparing for a fight you have with 1 person. I and many other would greatly appreciate that.
Gabe i love your viedos and watch whenever you upload! This may be a touchy topic, but i beleve to be a reasonable question for a fighter at your level…. Have you tried getting into the ufc? If so, what happened? If not why? Id love to see a video about the difference between the fight leauges around, and your “heard it from the grapevine” stories about some of the fighters youve talked with or your own experiences! 🤟
Padwork and drilling are great. I'll try to focus on that more. I need to cardio, sleep and diet better
Same bro
Love the vids mate
I haven't fought yet but will. Thanks for the tips Gabriel.
Thanks for teaching champ
Could you please make a video on how your diet is and how you would lose 10kg leading to your fight
Gabe help us with Diet, there's no fighter that ever made such content just like the tips you're giving us, no fighter is doing it
Hey Gabriel Vargas. Would you be able to make a video on what to pay attention to when watching a fight as a fan? For example maybe to pay attention to foot work or head movement or composure. Thank you Gabriel
Thx gabriel ive been wanting to fight someone for a year now but i only started training 8-9month ago, i do well at sparring but i feel like maybe im not ready as sparring is a lot different than real fight
THANKS
Thank you
I haven't lost an amateur match yet
Awesome. Congratulations on that.
Keep that perfect record going 💪
@@GabrielVargaOfficial I'm trying to get into the Olympics
@@ecoios652 awesome keep going
@@ecoios652 in which discipline ?
@@Bobby-mx7ms i guess Boxing, lets see if I'm right.
this the funniest thumbnail youve made coach😂
Hehe. Thanks. I really like playing around with thumbnails. Each time is like a little puzzle and I try to be a bit creative.
Don't neglect cardio
Dont underestimate your opponent - go in there thinking its gonna be the hardest fight of your life
Making time to meditate/visualise maybe 5mins 2-3 times a week
You often preach to work on defense, could you give us an insight how do you practice your defense in fight camp or in general?
Hey gabriel, how do you train 4 hours? Are you like doing 2 hour sessions per day? Do you do it everyday in fight camp and how many hours do you train outside fight camp and you do daily?
Sleep is my greatest struggle.
Hello gabriel, i love this channel a lot, watch almost daily to your videos i want to ask to break jonathan haggerty (one championchip)down, i love watching him, his brutal way of fighting, most of the time with these small gloves
Thanks a lot
Never drink a protein shake the day of weigh-ins, did that once before a sauna cut thinking that a shake wouldn’t do anything, low and behold a decent protein shake can add over five pounds of weight to you, just barely made weight that day. Never again!
Hey what type of roadwork routine would you recommend for amateur fighters?
I'm actually filming a roadwork episode today. Perfect timing. It will be ready in 2-3 days.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial awesome man!
man, most people take a lot of pride in not sleeping or having no schedule for sleep these days
8 way off loss. Not going into the Ring because youre scared. 100% loss guarantee.
I don’t think the movie analogy worked for underestimating an opponent. If you think a fight with your opponent will be easy and it’s and suddenly you’re in a tough war, that is not analogous to going to a movie you were told was good and being disappointed.
Biggest mistake I see is NOT GUARDING THE FACE. This guy for example on StreetBeefs called Blackie Chan was impressive his first few fights, then he went to an MMA gym and they taught him to keep his hands down and constantly try to grapple, ended up eating shots to the face after that losing all his fights.
All but one of these were preparation.
Idea for a new action movie franchise: Diet Hard. ;-)
I can testify to dip number five one time I had a wrestling tournament and I was on diet and made wait after I made weed I went to Burger King and had to double cheeseburgers and a slice of chocolate pie and I felt sluggish for the rest of the day including my match
Why don't more people watch this channel?
Is it presentation?
What is it?
As a low level amateur Muay Thai fighter any advice for not getting nervous in fights. People think I don’t care but I just don’t get nervous at all before or in the ring?
If it’s your first fight, not being nervous isn’t necessarily a good thing but also it’s not a bad thing. I wasn’t nervous at all leading up to my first fight. When I walked out as I walked to the cage the nerves hit me and I couldn’t feel my feet. Lost in the 2nd round. Now it’s more different, I’m 3 weeks out and am a bit of a nervous wreck at moments in the day when I think about it but try not to care because no matter what it’s going to happen. It’s more so the anticipation leading up before every fight.
All I can say when it comes to nerve you need to find your perfect median between being not too nervous but not too relaxed. Before my fight I barely thought about it until fight day and I just went out there and performed, don't overthink it but also don't shy away from having nerves because everyone has nerves. A fight is a fight regardless so go in there and have fun 👍🏿
Petrosyan loss to superbon was ridiculous . I noticed the mistake he made .
Love the thumbnail lol
How much sleep is enough?
I'm guilty of the first one.
What happened to number 3 Gabriel? Ya know...starting a round without a gum shield in! 🤷♂️🤭🙏
@@stanclark3992 no way did Gabriel underestimate Roosmalen bro, sorry. It was just a really unfortunate corner/ref error...and without that gum shield in...I’m sure it was a shock, but only the difference in power from being hit by such a stocky powerhouse with no facial protection in. CHEERS! 😄
@@stanclark3992 yep, Gabriel has said that, but I’m 100% certain he was actually very wary of Robin’s power, and didn’t underestimate HIM for a second. It was a few other fighters earlier in his career I believe. 🤔
Oh, and you mean Roger Seagull (Steven’s cousin)? Yeah, he’s a brilliant ref. 😃
PS. If it was your usual negative/bizarre/insulting posts Stan? Hmm...I wouldn’t have added anything. Nice to see you being a bit more respectful with your messages lately tho man.
Good stuff, genuinely Stan 👏💪🙂
@@stanclark3992 nope...I don’t underestimate the full potential of your rudeness and disrespect Stan. 😄
Yes, I know which seagull u were referring to. I was going with your joke bruh...keep up! 🤦♂️
Yes, I’m very-much looking forward to seeing Gabriel smash people up in Karate Combat. 👌
...can we ALL encourage him to unleash the beast in all his fights now please?! I really hope he ends his career on an explosive winning streak, filled with brutal and clinical highlight reel 💪🙏
NB. I know Gabriel’s a man of honour, so I’m sure he’ll stay the way he’s always been. But I personally want to see more of angry Gabriel...just with his trademark technique and control added for good measure ☺️
I need to improve my sleep
Do you never eat cake?
Khabib lost against Tibau and Mayweather lost against Maedana...
and you lost in life....
@@MrTimurLP Your feelings aren't going to change history...
@@godsofwar1186 oh really?😂😂
i suggest you STOP that microaggression
