So...styles make fights.

I'd like to pose another question, since it's relatable and relevant.

I'm 5'3". What are my options as far as styles and technique? I would like to think that I can apply almost any style well with a lot of hard work and dedication.


I'm 175 lb, I think at least 140 of those pounds is athletic weight. Given my stature, if I'd really want to compete, I may want to make my way down to 140 or less eh?

What are my advantages and disadvantage against a taller fighter of equal skill?

I'm going to be honest with you. No way can you fight at 140 at 5' 3". That's fly or bantam type height.

Okay. I have an idea why, but what are the reasons?

Two questions before I answer that. How old are you and what is your reach? From inside the arm pit to the end of your fist?

Alright young friend now consider that Jimmy Wilde who was and is the best flyweight that ever lived was also 5 foot 3 and had a 66 inch span. It's -38 where I am and I just purchased Total Recall 2. I'm going to smoke a joint and prepare to be let down shortly. Thanks for the convo.

Haha, thank you friend. I will try my best at the odds, and will either tell you how bad it was, or not so bad it was.
