the power range goes up with weight. im not saying u will be knocked down. but the possibilites are higher because u get caught by them and u know u get caught by them. id say tighted up ur defense some more and get ur footwork better and gradually put on more weight.
i am developing a roll, weave, duck and slips style. works in sparring an=gainst my Buddy but none amteur slick-pretty boy Ben Collack. he throws it all, and i weave. [though he clocked me bang on the nose with an uppercut, just no power on it] i might just sweat evrything off before a fight over the next 3 months but my actual weight in the ring getting steadily higher.
Sure, plenty. But come on, don't you think this guy is making most of this up? A counter puncher/slugger/banger (impossible to be all three, by the way) with shoddy defense, crappy footwork, small for his size and somehow has a good amount of experience and a winning record but at the same time doesn't know what he should weigh? Come on. The only reason no one is calling him out on being full of crap is because 99% of the posters on this forum don't have the experience to see that he's full of it.
This is my opinion only. 100 pounds at 5 foot 4 inches IS too light. 5 foot 4 inch boxers normally fight at about 130 pounds. I would definitely aim for 106 pounds as your short team goal, and 130 pounds by the time you are 25 years old. As for bricks: I'm your same height and feel that you should weigh at least 140 pounds at that weight. I actually weigh higher at 154 pounds (I'm 5"10 even). I know someone can make an argument about the difficulty of going up in weight classes, but this is a unique situation. Long Story Short: Go up to 106 Irish Fire. I recommend following a weight-lifting program 3 days a week. Each workout should last under an hour . Monday perform squats as your primary exercise and follow it with lower body exercises. Wednesday perform the bench press as your primary exercise and follow it with pushing exercises. Friday perform the deadlift as your primary exercise and follow it with pulling exercises. Avoid any isolations and make sure that you stick to the good compound exercises like bent-over-rows, pullups, military press, etc. Also make sure that you are eating at least 20X your bodyweight in calories and getting at least 1g of protein per pound you weigh. Don't neglect the necessities like fruits, vegetables, complex carbs, etc... and be sure to take a multivitamin daily. Whey protein is a good supplement if you are having trouble making your protein requirements for the day. I normally take one every day with breakfast. This will require some pretty hard work from you since you're mixing it in with boxing.
personally i weight what i do because i never lifted weights to bulk up. its my natural weight. before i stop fighting i will be around 145 fightin weight. theres no difficulty for me honestly. i have the power to move up if i feel like it. but my height advantage/power at featherweight will let me dominate a majority of my opponents. so i will move up when i feel its time, not because someone feels i should. and i could careless if hes bullshitting. he has to look himself in the mirror for the rest of his days. so its on his shoulders not mine.
shut up. i hit hard, and i counter. if i am fighting someone my size then i slug. i am sorta stocky cos i'm so small. the only fight i'll tell ya'll about is this. i lost 8-0. rsf2.
