Does anyone here keep up with the minimumweight division?

[Santa_]

Nope, not since Ivan Calderon.

If you don't like to watch them fight then don't watch them but they aren't underdeveloped manlet's whatever that is.

lol

The top 2 in the division are 5'2" and 5'1" and weigh 105lbs.

Come on.

You're a manlet aren't you?

Any good fighters to look out for?

It’s as weak as it’s been for a few years. Most people regard Wanheng Menayothin as the top guy cause he’s 52-0 but IMO Knockout CP Freshmart is the best fighter in the division. His two wins over Byron Rojas who’s probably the #3 guy in the division are more impressive than anything on Menayothin’s resume.
Hopefully we get a unification between the two Thai fighters.

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 rate that Koura tbh, he’s like a small Ryota Murata.
CP Freshmart is solid fighter, he’s the only guy in the division with a shot of taking WM’s Zero IMO. He’s not as sharp technically as Menayothin but he’s very strong and fights at a very high pace, also counters pretty well with combinations

I'm a straight man.

Absolutely not. That division is an absolute *****ing joke and should be barred from all sanctioning and recognition.

The #1 guy down there has never fought outside his home country, and STILL fights cans with losing records! There is no way it can be taken seriously. Can you imagine the uproar if a P4P king at the higher weights decided to go against a nobody with a 21-44 record? There would be riots.

The ***** I take in the morning is bigger than Menayothin.

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.

There was a damn good minimumweight fight a few days ago. Dude was down big time on points going into the final round and got his opponent on the ropes and started swinging wildly for the fences until one of his punches connected and dropped him with about 25 seconds to go. Dude barely beat the count and told the ref he wanted to continue, but his trainer (his dad) threw in the towel.

A true barn burner.

I try to, it’s difficult though as literally none of the fights are televised in the UK.
Most guys would rate Wanheng Menayothin as the #1 guy in the division but Knockout CP Freshmart is the best fighter in the division IMO. Other good fighters in the division are Jose Argumendo- he was IBF champ until he lost to Kyoguchi who is now a champion at light fly.
And Byron Rojas who edged a decision against Hekkie Budler but then lost twice to CP Freshmart.
