I have my first fight in 3 weeks so sunday i had to give blood three 4 viles worth....the next morning i ran 4 miles in morning, then lifted weights...Then I night i tried rolling and i had no energy at all...and still today I m tired and fatigued like crazy...Does anyone know if it was from giving blood at all or what? thanks

Well it'll affect you for 2-3 days tops, but if you drink LOTS of liquids and try to get a little more iron in your diet than you usually do, it'll be replaced by then. Those vials look big, but you have no idea how much blood volume a person (let alone an athlete) actually has.
Also, why would you train 3 times a day, 3 days a week? Why not 1-2 times a day, 6 days a week? That makes a LOT more sense.

Anyway four vials is not really that much blood at all. If you donated blood and gave like a pint and some vials maybe, but just 4 vials i think its just you overtraining/not resting enough.

There's no big issue here. If you feel lousy then just rest for a day and make sure you eat well and drink lots of water. This shouldn't be a big issue.

Sounds like you need time off take one day and only train once and drink tons of water and get some sleep .
