Would i be a small welter

[joekirkbycobra]

i stopped fightin am about six months ago
but now i want to fight again
only in unlicensed boxing as it looks more fun
but i was wonderin wether i should drop a few weights
wen i fought am i fought at 57kg
but after my break ive found myself 66kg but im only 5'8 with a 28inche waist

Yes. 5'8 isn't too small; but it ain't exactly a big Welter either.

[MagnificentMatt]

Scratch all that, I misread the whole post.. Thought you meant you were lighter now than before.

[Adaptation]

You wouldnt be a small one, but not a big one either. I believe 5'9 is the average for welter, so your good.

[Kolya]

I think the average for Welter is like 5'7-5'8 prolly. You seem like you have a lanky, light build anyway though, If I remember your videos right.. So at a lower weight yeah you will probably be kind of small, or lightly built.. Doest mean your going to be getting pushed around exactly though.


I dunno. I would say a few inches taller; still shy of 6' though. Demetrius Andrade, the USA 152lbs Olympian, is 6'1 and is considerably taller than his opponents.
