    I always hear how amazing Fly and Super Fly fights are but I’ve just never been able to get into watching such tiny scrawny guys who weight about as much as a teenage girl.

    For me it’s probably Super Feather or Lightweight.

    Bit hipster, but I've always preferred watching the lower weights. Feel like you're more likely to see an entertaining fight in the flyweights than most other divisions tbh.

    If it's a good match-up I couldn't care what weight class its in

    160

    Everything below 160 I'll watch but I won't be (that) invested in it.

    Don't care how low it is as long as it's a competitive fight.

    Been some brilliant fights at the lower weights lately like the DAZN Japan one the other day.

    Agree - most heavyweights these days are fat fookers struggling to move.

    The NYE show in Japan is normally quality every year and it's just loaded with the flyweights

    I enjoy Inoue at bantamweight but then a large part of that is because he's got freakish power for that weight class. But generally I find it hard to get excited about the real low weight classes. When men are that tiny it's basically like having a disability, and that's how it feels when you watch it. It's like you're watching women, kids or disabled people fighting as opposed to the real thing.

    When power punches are landing flush on the chin and having no noticeable effect, that's usually when I lose interest.

    If there's a fighter I like it doesn't matter weight class he's in, I'm tuning in. There isn't enough exposure of the lower weights if you ask me, I love watching Inoue just for the excitement his style brings.

    I think once you get below bantamweight the interest just isn't there. Sunny Edwards is headlining in Sheffield this weekend and I don't think it's even being televised.

    Welterweight. Not that I disrespect the others, especially when the people are really short, they've not much options of weighting too much, but it's not my stuff. Still, some great fights or fighters can make some exceptions.
