3:30 bro there like battleship classes ahah

You really didn't explain why there's so many weight classes. You may have tried but you did an absolute horrible job of it. You compared two men that had a 100 lb weight difference. Not two men that had a 15 lb or 20 lb weight difference. And let's not forget about weight cutting. Fighters cut a lot of weight and they only weigh that for about 1 hour while stepping on the scale. Once they get into the ring the next night they do not weigh that anymore. They are standing in that ring fighting each other not at the exact same weight. Heavyweight fighters can fight one another with a 10 20 or even 30 lb weight difference. Why are heavyweights the only division that can fight with a 15-20 lb or even 30 lb weight difference from one another. Why can middleweights or lightweights not do the same thing

Watched the fight at the time. If the referee had seen the low blow it should have been a disqualification. But as Duran was blocking the referee's view he would probably not have seen the punch. Buchanan wanted to continue, so why stop the fight? After the fight the referee said that Buchanan was in no condition to continue but seemed to contradict himself by saying that a low blow thrown without power could not hurt someone. Probably Duran would have gone on to win but the low punch and the strange decision by the referee ruined what would have been a classic.

What if one fighter scores 2 knockdowns, but the other fighter scores 1 knockdown? Is it 10-8, or 10-9?

I want to see the fight

Missing bridgerweight and straw weight

Been better to have made a chart with the weight and name

We miss you cris, i learned a lot from you, hope you doing well

how do you score a fate? when mowdan boxing fist stawted.... lol

i think LaMotta took a dive in the Robertson fight

So why can't boxers choose go up weight divisions without needing to make the minimum cut off weight? I get safety is an issue but surely a division or two is fine?

Basically our society explained. It’s the strongest people on top.. is what it is

What if red coner keep attacking but don't hit on blue man,blue continue defend only no attack,do red will get more point for taking strike,cause sometime most hit person don't win

But it doesn't make any sense to have a 3lbs interval when they cut and rehydrate much more and the fight night, the weight diference is many times much bigger than 1, 2 or 3 weight classes, you have many boxers that are champions in "different" weight classes. MMA only has 8 despite size being much more important do to the grappling and the wrestle

ryan gana tonight

Hello, so if a fighter is winning a round and gets a point deducted, is it now scored 9-9?

You obviously read the book "Raging Bull". So did Scorsese. I read it too. What did you think of the book? A girlfriend at the time of the movie couldn't understand why they would make a movie about such a bad person. LaMotta was, according to his own book, an even worse character than portrayed in the movie. What are your feelings about LaMotta? Btw, he is from the Bronx as I am. The mob was in everything back in those days, including college basketball. My school, Manhattan College, was pivotal in blowing the lid off the point shaving corruption scandal.

Well, to sum it up, the reason why we have so many weight classes is bcuz the same reason we have so many shoe sizes........⬅️RIDDLE Boxing being the Global Combat Sport that it is and with the World Population today......⬅️GENETICS The HW division is the most dangerous.....think about that 🧠💡

answer: depends on who paid them under the table 😂

we need only 10 weight classes, 10 lbs apart from each other.

Fakes, faith, fights.....huisssss

Excellent video, very informative. Just curious, where's this guy from? I'm not a native speaker looking to learn more about accents and sharpen my hearing understanding, I know he's probably from the UK but I notice a slight difference compared to the standard UK accent I can think of.

I enjoyed your video on weight divisions but I have a point of dispute on safety. Generally more evenly matched boxers will last with each other in the ring then fighters who weighs are very different. Who are The Boxers who usually suffer the worst long-term injuries? It's those who have been good enough to continue to fight but bad enough to take a lot of and have had longer careers. In a strange way this is what happens mostly with more evenly matched fighters. I have to say that I I'm not objective about boxing. I thought when I was young and I managed later in life including the top 10 heavyweight. When I first got my managers license I was supposed to have met the head of the New York State athletic commission who was then former heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson. They would not allow me to meet him as had been a tradition. About a year later I read the New York Times that when he was deposed in a lawsuit he did not know that he had been a boxer or that he had been heavyweight champion. I believe in the power of sport in competition in all that it can do to benefit people. But I frankly have given up on sports particularly those which damage the brain. MMA has gotten even more popular than boxing and is even more brutal. I think because of how young that sport is we haven't yet seen the crop of brain damaged athletes that we have seen in boxing. I appreciate that boxing has been a tradition for inner-city poor people to reach places they wouldn't have otherwise. And so we've gotten the likes of people like Muhammad Ali who we all saw suffer from tragic pugilistic parkinson's. I'm a believer that there are better alternatives that won't damage the brain and we've seen people who have come from poor backgrounds like the Williams sisters in tennis to grow and even dominate the sport. I cannot deny that to watch a great fight is like watching art and science combined. But I can't any longer justify my desire to see something selfishly that in the long run destroys the very people who are putting on that great performance.

As a Filipino I'll be damn proud if I see a Filipino champion in the heavyweight division but alas us South East Asian folks loose too much speed and stamina if our boxers go up the heavier divisions.

Could u look into the ksi vs fury fight. The score cards were messed up and 1 kudge in 1 round scored a 9 8 (tommy got a 1 point deduction) but the judge changed the score to 9 9 8 mins after the fight ended. Im pretty sure u cnat do that right? And 1 judge didnt add up the scores properly. Cluld u plz look into it and tell me what your view of it is and who u think should have won

After Ksi fight

We miss you bro. Hoping you make a return some day.

I'm a trained fighter, but I'm 6'6 and 300lbs. I used to be 6'1 and 210bs. If land one shot on the greatest lightweight in the world, it will hurt them incredibly bad. But if Shaq decides to swat me at 400lbs, he will break my fuckin head. Weight is about fairness. That's it.

More testiment to canelo yes he has losses but my gosh he has done a great job stepping up and fighting in higher weight classes

I guess there was no round limit in the past? Hence no scoring - eventually somebody's gonna drop... Anyway, thanks for the vid dude helps a lot I always wondered whether they start on 10 and have pts reduced. Cheers

For the metric system! ✊✊✊✊✊

who cares about anything below Heavy weight, anything below HW is handicap weight class, special olympics. people watch fighting sports to see THE strongest people in the world competing against each other to claim the title of the STRONGEST person in the world.

Im 5'8 148 wat class should i box at

Big up bro. Just checking in to see if you're well. Take care. Bless 👊

Nice video mate , farout very interesting, as im a New Zealander we like to use Kilos, so basically anyone over 90.6 kilos has to fight heavy weight , thats pretty extreme, personally im idling around 95 kilos, so yeah makes for a serious challenge to take on a 125 kilo bloke but i spose after 10 rounds , the 125 kilo bloke be a bit more puffed ! Very interesting, cheers, yeah recently watched a interview with Chris Eubank Senior which re lit my interest in boxing, cheers

I like the Irish and their accent

I’ve always wondered this, now I’m crystal clear, thank you kind stranger.

loved it ... finally It is well explained

What boxing weight classe is 166 ibs ?

Good prediction

Soory your gonw mate. All the best

Thanks buddy !!

POV you’re here because of Loma losing to a robbery me to brother 😔

Let's say we have a boxing match, and one fighter is known to be very aggressive and always on the attack and the other fighter is known to be extremely defensive. So, the if we were to believe that boxing is susceptible to corruption from rich influential groups or individuals like pretty much everything in the world. And when judges are being chosen, to sway the decision to favorable odds by the powers that be; judges who favor defensive type fighters are picked for this particular match or vice versa. The outcome of the fight is more than likely already decided. The scoring system is flawed and is and has been manipulated for years. You can hear it when fans "BOO" the supposed winner and the losing opponent receives the cheers. Example Paquiao vs Bradley 1 and even back to the 1988 Olympics with Roy Jones Jr. losing the gold medal in Korea. Not really an example of choosing judges for a particular fight style but more just straight up corruption. Sadly, even with investigations and proof of corruption, manipulation and tampering with judges' decisions in boxing... judges' decisions are never overturned. Which is bull$#!+...

Hope all is OK mate, missing your predictions!

Good video mate! Some classic fighters back in the day. Respect from glasgow ;)

Hope you're well mate. I've not heard from you for a while. Take care. Bless 👊

Knockdd him tt fuccc out
