    Default Mid-West?

    What area in the US is referred to as "Mid-West"?

    What is included in the Mid-West actually? Only Michigan, or all Michigan, Detroit, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia? What do you call east cost and south?

    Who are the best fighters from all these places?

    Does James Toney belong to Mid - West too?

    Where did "fighting in the pocket" come from? The most notable guy I know was George Benton and he represented Philadelphia?

    I need a "proof", some sort of references if possible

    Thanks

    The midwest is represented in this map


    Philadelphia is in the Northeast

    James Toney being from Grand Rapids, MI is most certainly from the Midwest


    Michigan fighters: Category:Boxers from Michigan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I have no idea where the term "fighting in the pocket" originated", but for everything else look at a map.
