………….something besides heavyweight fights.

 

George Foreman carry a cow.

 

You're not a real boxing fan until you've actually seen a light flyweight title fight in person and a heavyweight title fight in person, preferably on the same night.

The 108-pound fight is like watching two eight-year-olds fight. You realize how ridiculous and tiny two 108-pound grown men are and how silly you feel watching them punch each other, and how light their blows sound.

Big heavyweight punches are felt in a room by the crowd. On the other hand, it's difficult to even see light flyweights fight from ringside because their heads are barely the height of the top ring rope.

It's an eye-opener for sure.

That's why, for most of the 20th century, people didn't really care all that much for what went on in the smallest divisions. Because most fans attended live shows until they latter half of the century. They saw for themselves in person.

 

There are none so blind as those who will not see, so the saying goes.

 

There are none so blind as those who can't see two light flyweights from ringside, because most of their bodies are blocked by the ropes, because they are so small.

 

Dubble is just upset because he went to watch Chang vs Tokashiki and couldn't see any of that sweet action.

 

Perhaps it's YOU that's too short to see over the rest of the fans.

But seriously, enjoy what you enjoy. If watching a clinch-fest of slobbering fatties is your idea of a good time, go for it. I'm not trying to convince you.

 

The ring is elevated. People are sitting. If they fight in a corner most of the round, you may as well go for a beer.

Two guys, 5'3", 108-pounds, fighting in a corner, may look good on TV with three or four announcers doing their best to hype it up, but not in person. Too small. They don't even come up to the top rope, so you're just trying to peer through the ropes at whatever you can make out. It's bad. If they are fighting in a corner, forget it entirely.

And when the fighters don't even come up to the referee's armpits, it takes quite a bit of the danger out of the fight. (LOL)

You've got to see it in person.
