      Nope. Thats the softest division in boxing & I've rarely had interest in any 105lb fighter or fight. The lil guy divisions need to be realigned to allow for maximum competition + not make it so easy for lil guys to win multiple weight division belts.

          It's hard to follow because it doesn't get any coverage in Western boxing media but whenever I happen to see a bout it's usually entertaining. However I think it should be merged with 108. The talent pool is too shallow and I refuse to believe these guys don't already weigh more than 108 in the ring or couldn't easily carry another 3 lbs anyway

          Wanheng Menayothin seems to be the one to watch right now. I like Kyoguchi but he's challenging for the WBA at 108 on New Year's Eve. I've been following Tsubasa Koura after reading good things about him, he has nice hands but his defence is a disaster waiting to happen. Don't really know anything about the others. I should check out Knockout CP Freshmart

            Don't see the point

            They might as well just go all in and have dwarf boxing, give them proper recognised belts etc. At least that would be entertaining. rather than watching some under developed manlet's.

            At least a proper dwarf is aggressive and strong with a big head.

                I like them just as much as larger boxers. I watch all the pro boxing I can. I am unable to watch the minimumweights because they rarely if ever show them where I can watch them fight. If I never get to see them fight I am not going to keep up with them. I live in the USA and watch all the boxing channels I can but they almost never show the very light boxers.

                  If you don't like to watch them fight then don't watch them but they aren't underdeveloped manlet's whatever that is. They are strong athletic well built men and highly skilled boxers who weigh a lot less than most Europeans and Americans. In many counties in the world men about their weight are the norm and not the exception. They are faster and throw a lot more punches than larger boxers.
