flyweight, are you interested?

[FinitoElDinamita]

Hell mofukin yea homey... im all about the flyweight division and any division near that.. why? Because true sweet science are displayed in those matchups. Youll rarely , if ever, see a flyweight coming in out of shape or throw one punch at a time like those boring ass HW jerkoffs.

Real boxing is in the smaller divisions. Because these guys arent generally blessed with power, they have to hone their skills and be that much more reliant on their craft..

My main focus is on the smaller divisions. Fuck HW

I agree that the smaller a fighter the more technically sound they have to be, but I prefer anywhere between bantam and middleweight to the really light divisions at the same time. I think there is a different type of skill involved when you introduce more raw power, fights become less about output, the element of one punch changing a fight is very exciting to me. Not that it can't happen at flyweight, it's just rare that guys have consistent one punch power there. Even take Ricardo Lopez, who is literally the most masterful boxer I've ever seen, he wouldn't often land hard enough to put guys in trouble with one shot despite doing everything perfectly.

Most KOs and TKOs are the result from many punches.
Have never heard anyone say, "If only it had been a one punch KO, it would have been better."
I like them too, but you don't see them every card and most of the time there is a jab in there.

Ali Raymi, a minimum weight just broke the first round knockout record with 20 in a row. Perez could punch at 112 and Wilde was lucky to make 95 pounds fought at fly and put together 100 ko's at times outweighed as much as 30 pounds. I don’t understand the lack of power claims. Weight does not always create power. Power may not be the first thing noticed because their entire game is much more in balance. Higher up you get guys are known for power but in many cases that’s all they got. Nothing to over shadow it or stand out along side it. I'm not a big guy. 5'10 and a buck 70 and God errr evolution blessed me with a solid Celtic chin but I'd wager if that little shrimp Roman Gonzalez nailed me, that I'd wake up on a gurney.

I watch all weights. I don't care how small muthafukkas are. Boxing is boxing.

Yep, at the end, real boxing fans tune into all fights regardless of division..

I just can't take female boxing seriously.. Well actually, there was this PPV series called Perfect 10 Model boxing on Showtime around 2005 and it was the shit.. Real hot models would box each other half naked and from what i remember, they werent that bad either.. Tale of the Tape was the best, they'd show their measurements and their favorite sex position and shit like that..

Anyway, the flyweight division is the deepest division at the moment. If one of the networks or even a small time promoter can put together some kind of tourney, it would be great..
