Mid-West?

[El Kabong]

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

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