Description
The purest, fastest, most technical boxing exists in the lighter weight classes of the sport. While knockouts may not come as easily, fighters in the lighter weights can thrill audiences through their brilliant skills just as much as their heavier counterparts. To account for Fire Pro's restrictions, I have three broad weight classes for my boxers: Lightweight, Middleweight and Heavyweight. My Lightweight fighters consist of pugilists who fought from Welterweight on down.

All my boxers can still be found alongside my other fighters in the World of Martial Arts collection.
