    Finally managed to watch Segura/ Calderon. Damn that was a good fight.

    I must bow my head in shame and admit that I dont usually watch the lower weights. Here in the UK they dont get too much coverage. Obviously i have heard of the likes of Darchinyan, Doniare, Montiel, Wonjongkam, etc. but never really been in to them if im honest.

    I'll have to keep a look out at these guys I think!

    Anyone recommend any good fights in these lower weight classes so I can catch up on YouTube?

    Any of the top 10 in bantamweight or featherweight.

    Easily the two best weight divisions in boxing based on talent, depth and excitement.

    Monshipour v Sithchatchawal

    Probably the best war from the lower weight classes in recent times. All on youtube aswell I think.

    Thanks fella :good

    Im quiet up to date with the Featherweight scene, the likes of Gamboa and Juanma cant aviod each other forever. Then you throw into the mix Caba, John and Marquez and you have a deep division.

    But i had no idea Bantam was so stacked. And they seem to want to fight each other which is quiet strange for boxing at the moment!

    Yeah ive seen all these fights. (Marquez/Vazquez prob the most brutal sets of fights in modern boxing. The 4th fight should have been billed 'brain damage')

    But ive only ever seen clips of Perez/ Mares. I'll check it out.

    It sucks we dont get full coverage in the UK
