Well to be honest your in the same boat as a bunch of my buddies. To me, based off of what I have seen with them, I would turn up your cardio and maybe look at your diet a little bit. I know that's a little scary to cut food while your upping your cardio so I would first look in to cardio before you cut any cals. If you are not 208 and super lean, going to 185 seems to be what makes more sense for you and here's why. Now your at about 208 with no water depletion whatsoever. If you diet down to about 192-195 you'll be right were you need to be when you go to cut water. Trust me, most guys you see in the 185's weigh about 195 come fight time! Pedialight, pizza, pasta seem to do the trick perfectly. If you cut 10-12lbs I think your speed will come, you'll be better conditioned and the power will still be there!!! Good luck bro...
