an article about the 115 pound division, talking about the two 115 pound Taylor-Pavlik undercard fights .

The division is deep for people that pay attention to the smaller guys, Mijares, Fernando Montiel, Martin Castillo, Alexander Munoz, Vic Darchinyan, Z Gorres, Dmitri Kirilov, Jose Navarro, Nashiro, some young guys like AJ Banal. Not sure what Arce's doing, if he's sticking at 118 or going back to 115.

You could make a case for it being the second best division. What else is there besides welter? There's 130 which has the stars but isn't all that deep, 122's pretty good, who knows what middle's like, that depends on Taylor and Pavlik and where they end up after this next fight. 168's pretty good. Cruiser's aren't bad actually.

Anyway, agree, disagree?


Good post on bringing up the little guys...Have some rep on me....

It is not just the 115lbrs though it is pretty much every division 126 and under that has some great fighters if they were bigger guys the sport would be PPV every weekend....The little guys though do not get the coverage they should...The are fast paced and many have great KO's...

Just a reminder of who is out there at 126 and under to get an idea of how much talent is there....(The list is not in any order or by division just off the top of my head)

Solis, Lineres, Guerreo, John, Oliver, De Leon, Molitar, Cordoba, Caballero, Marquez, Vazquez, Condes, Rachman, Solis, Calderon, Sosa, Segura, Penalosa, Arce, Hasegawa, Sidorenko, Bakhtin, Doniare, Sakata, Mijares, Darchinyan, Gorres, Mabuza, Sahaprom....

I can remember anymore just the top tier so to speak but everyone gets the idea,,,,Plus there are a ton of guys we never heard of really due to exposure with top talent in those divisions....I wish the media would give these guys more of a push on major fight undercards and generate soome interest
