    We had a guy in our gym who was about 5'10 and was super heavy. Just depends on your skills and how you use your advantages.

    i fought at heavy and i am 5'9" ish...its was hard, because the ams are mainly points based, getting inside without your oppo landing a soft scoring shot is difficult, this makes winning on points tough...
