    We always call it "Junior Middleweight" or "Light Middleweight." But for a division like 130, it's often referred to as "Super Featherweight," not "Junior Lightweight."

    I've heard it called both to be honest. I don't think it matters, either way, people know you're talking about 154lbers

    The WBC calls 154 "Super Welter", 130 "Super Feather", 140 "Super Light".

    The other organizations call them "Junior Middle", "Junior Light", "Junior Welter".

    Same thing. To make it easy you might as well just go by the number.

    Different sanctioning bodies call it different things. It's confusing as ****.

    I prefer the "light" version.

    Light middle rather than super welter.
    Light welter rather than super lightweight etc.

    All falls apart with super middle though. You can't have a light lightheavyweight?

    Featherheavyweight perhaps?
