big upset!!
I say the number, or I say Junior...
I feel like saying "super featherweight" for example, is a middle finger to the featherweights. It almost seems dismissive.
Whereas junior lightweight simply means that your a smaller version of a lightweight, it's more descriptive in its implication.
RIP to The Sniper aka Magnum PI when he had his mustache.

Boxers may very well be the professional athletes who are the worst at managing their money.
unlike in other sports where they can earn a pension as a cushion somewhat in retirement, there are none for boxing whatsoever...long overdue
Not only that, but boxers are probably the least educated. There are no rookie transition programs, like say the nba/nfl that educates athletes on items like finance.
Boxers are truly on their own and have to trust their instincts and advice on who they sign with
no question about that...even with all the new age things that get implement in boxing...its still an exploitative sport esp if you come from nothing..and the old guard would like to keep it that way
Amor fati
Superstar
I love seeing boxers being super active.
