As a bantam I would fight at 54 kg, the next lightest fighter in the gym is 66 kg and after that the lightest is 75 kg. Perhaps packing on a bit more meat to fight at 57 kg will make everyday training easier. I do get annoyed at not being able to be a more challenging and valuable sparring partner for my bigger teammates.

I can tag them but don't often put them off balance the way someone their own size could (unless I use angles really well)- OK for touch sparring but not enough if they need to feel what it's like to be pushed around. Maybe I still won't do it a lot as a featherweight but I'd be closer to it.
Believe it or not,putting that extra meat on to your legs,will give you an immediate boost in power,if your driving your hips right

Now for my second zen statement
Actually wait,I can avoid Zen
Look at Ann Wolfe,or Feur for all that matter,carefully
Now while their upper bodies are trim,they by no means look like they can deliver that one punch knockdown they both have
Now look at their legs,both of them have big strong legs,and youll notice those muscle bunch right before a big shot
Its having a foundation and driving your whole body in to a punch
Come to think of it look at Tyson,when he was actually Tyson,his thighs were massive
