    hey ESB.

    can you name some fighters to watch, preferably from the lower weight classes, as i don't really have any knowlegde on them.

    i Like to watch jmm's fights if it's anything to go by. So Technical boxers would be nice.

    bit of a odd question i know :nut

    If your talking about past and present look for..

    Ricardo 'Finito' Lopez (Past)
    Nonito Donaire (Present)
    Roman Gonzalez (Present)

    I'll leave the other lads to get stuck in :good..

    The above are a good pick considering who you like, but I'd say bypass them and go for the greatest little guys, who are equally entertaining and incredibly talented:

    Fighting Harada
    Eder Jofre
    Jung Koo Chang

    As SKBsays though, if you like Marquez, Ricardo Lopez is a mini (albeit stiffer) version of him, seriously :deal Trained by Nacho and all sorts.

    His career was a let down but for pure enjoyment, great choice. Not broadening your horizons all that much though :lol:

    Harada and Chang have decent biographies on there (if I do say so myself) and a wealth of footage :good

    Eder Jofre might not have a link to it yet :fire But is probably my favourite entry now, f'n ace :deal

    maybe not technical but for my money, a very very exciting boxer to watch...i used to love watching him back in the 80's, i think it was itv used to show his fights, i also used to get vhs tapes of him through ad's in boxing news (later stolen...don't ask)...
    anyway...i normally get shot down round here every time i bring him up..i get told he built up on weak opposition....still, he's one of the reasons i grew to love watching boxing...khaosai galaxy..

    I'd bypass the incredibly overrated Jung Koo Chang and go straight for the division's best in Myung Woo Yuh. Likewise, Gilberto Roman is a good technical Super Fly that you might enjoy watching.

    Oh, and Gerry Penalosa was proper ****in' good. Beautiful technique, wonderful combinations, and a razor tight defense. Watch his fights with Kawashima & Seung Koo Lee. I uploaded both fights on YT.
