Boxing terms in spanish

[Rantcatrat]

My Spanish is rusty and weak, I wanted to compile a list of terms so that those of us that watch fights in Spanish (especially those of us that hope for the return of Solo Boxeo) could have a glossary to refer to.

Win = Victoria
Loss = Derrota
Draw = Empato
Champion= Campeon
Challenger = Desafiador
Left = Izquierda
Right = Derecho
Hook = Gancho
Uppercut = Uppercut
Jab = Jab
Title = Titulo
Referee = Arbitro
Judge = Juez
Southpaw = Zurdo
Orthodox = Diestro
Age = Edad
Height = Altura
Reach = Alcanze
Nationality = Nacionalidad
Time = Tiempo
Division = Division
Heavyweight = Peso Pesado
Cruiserweight = Peso Crucero
Light Heavyweight = Peso Semipesado
Super Middleweight = Peso Supermedio
Middleweight = Peso Medio
Light Middleweight = Peso Semimedio
Welterweight = Peso Welter
Light Welterweight = Peso Semiwelter
Light Weight = Peso Ligero
Super Featherweight = Peso Superpluma
Featherweight = Peso Pluma
Super Bantamweight = Peso Supergallo
Bantamweight = Peso Gallo
Super Flyweight = Peso Supermosca
Flyweight = Peso Mosca
Light Flyweight = Peso Minimosca
Minimumweight = Peso Paja

I would appreciate any additions and/or corrections.

Good Post. I watched BoxingSoleo (was that the name?) many times never understanding what the announcers said. A couple of times, I called my spanish speaking hermano over to translate the announcers.

Name was Solo Boxeo dud but you where kinda close
And uh Challenger can also be "Retador"

[Chino]

Challenger = Desafiador

This one can also be: contrincante, retador.

Height = Altura

Estatura.
KO = Via rapida, knock out

Killersheep,
Your Spanish is rusty? Yeah right! You did a good job with those translations.

pelea/rina - fight

guerra - war

Thanks, that's helpful. My Spanish is OK for a gringo and I can follow along somewhat, but I didn't know a few of the those words. "Peso Gallo" cracks me up. Is Bantam an old English word for "rooster/cock"? I think we should start calling bantamweights "cockweights."

And I suppose it would be inappropriate to refer to strawweights as "pajeros"

How would a commentator say "Holy Shit!! He just took a big fucking bite out of his ear!!" in Spanish?

And what about the little bumfuck move Calzaghe pulled on Hopkins?

Just in case these things happen again during a Spanish broadcast.

This is quite a nice, informative thread.

In the Filipino language, meshed are a lot of Spanish and Latin words, undetected, without some form of structured instruction!

Nice to enable us to pick-up on it a bit easier, thanks, TS!

Something like, "Dios mio!!! Puta madre, El se mordi de la oreja un pedazo grande!"

Feel free to correct me, native speakers. I'm pretty sure a commentator wouldn't say puta madre, but that's the closest translation that comes to mind with my gringo Spanish.
