    That's more because nobody wants to get implicated with Probellum and Kinahan :lol:

    Below bantam weight less interest. Not just that theyre smaller but even less of them so less matches and fighters your gonna be interested in. Always exceptions like.

    130, and that is purely because 130 is quite often the starting point for a lot of legends who go on to conquer 135, 140, 147 and even higher

    Up until the Martinez KO, a fight he should never ever have taken at that point, I loved watching Andrew Selby. I remember Carl Frampton saying that if Andrew Selby was boxing like that at 147 he'd already be a World star but because of the weight class he was in he didn't get the exposure he deserved. That's the problem we're always going to have, you can be an absolutely brilliant and entertaining boxer but because you're in a lower weight nobody pays attention and then on the other hand you can look a bit like a drunk at 3am in a kebab shop but because you say "bosh" a lot and your dad is eating his way into a diabetic coma you're "the biggest ticket seller since Ricky Hatton" - Eddie Hearn.

    Decent Flyweight World Title fight tonight, a performance that Sunny can be proud of but full marks to Alvarado for not giving up. The same problem again though, the lack of a killer in the fight means that for a lot of people they'll get bored watching.

    featherweight


    after that theres too many divisions every few measly pounds where most countries in the world don't even have boxers that small. The numbers of boxers per weight in those midget weights is much lower, and the standards lower, making it much easier to become a 'world champion'.
