Flyweight division, the next boxing hotbed?

[whdempsey]

Some good names mentioned in this thread, but when I see them, all I see is a bunch of future KO victims courtesy the fists of the 19 year-old SUPER prospect of the division, Koki Kameda.

Oooh. Good, challenging name-tossing. Koki Kameda is a future champ for sure. If he can get even some of the names on this list he can be a star.

Great thing is the oldest guy I think is like Wonjongkam and he's 28.

Bad thing is Wonjongkam dont wanna leave thailand.

If I left people out, it is because they don't show them here, so the only thing I can possibly go by is **** that I read, which I don't really trust. Because I've read several fights that I later watched and totally disagreed with what was written.

Hopefully it'll change in the future. yeah, someone just told me about this Koki guy.

I think many people at these weights don't have a lot of power because if they did, they'd weigh more. Power takes some amount of muscle and these guys obviously aren't super muscular since they weigh so little. And if they gain much muscle at all, they're suddenly in a higher weight class.

some thai fighters are really good. they have great amateur foundation yet they rarely fight abroad.

going back to the topic, the flyweight division, based from the list, seems to be really looking good. but will these guys stay in this division for a longer time? IMO viloria is probably going to stay in this division because his height is quite small for the batamweight division. arce might move up coz he's bulkier. i hope these guys will slug it out next year!

I agree. There's lots of exciting fights that can be made from these weight classes.

Arce-Pongsaklek-Viloria-Darchinyan

any of these four fighters in the mix, would be fun to watch

Cazares looked OK in the Boxing World Cup, i liked the way he quickly switched to a southpaw stance after being KDd by Sor Vorapin and KTFOd the confused Thai with a left straight...perhaps a fight with Solis?

while match-ups of the other belt holders and some prospects @105 against Calderon, prolly the PBF of this weight class, will be an interesting show of styles. i'd like to see

Calderon (sleek boxer) - Kyowa (counterpuncher) - Niida (boxer) - Mayol (slugger)


i hope these guys juke it out next year


anybody here seen fights of IBF champ Rachman and WBC champ Takayama? comments would be much appreciated.
