Ismail Muwendo will fight at Super Featherweight

[Twin Cities Boxing]

Ismail Muwendo's weight is a 130lbs and he will continue to campaign at that super featherweight division. Ismail will not be moving up to 135lbs, as he only moved up to that weight for matchmaking purposes. Ismail's next fight will be at 130-132lbs. As such, please continue to rank him in the Super Featherweight division (130lbs.).

Thank you very much for your help and support !!

LAST SIX FIGHTS WERE AT LIGHTWEIGHT? NOT SUPERFEATHER

[Twin Cities Boxing]

Correct, this is based on matchmaking and finding durable/proper opponents. Rank him At whatever weight you see fit, but this is his manger telling you Ismail will not fight above 132 +/-1lbs. And all title fights will be at 130lbs.

As soon as he has a fight at 130 lbs. max, he will be ranked at superfeather again.

Based on your Ismail Muwendo weight division explanation, how do you explain Celestino Caballero? Caballero is rated in the division of super bantamweight, yet his last bout was for a Super Featherweight Title...how does that work??? Are you or I missing something???

Celestino Caballero

I have no idea hence South America is not my area of responsability. But if a fighter retires, for example, he is rated in the weight division where he had the most of his fights / was the most successful...

[claudevsq]

I just see another one of our editors has changed him to 130 lbs. yesterday...

Ismail Muwendo defended Mid American featherweight title at 132lbs/59.9kgs ???
None of the opponents in all 4 defences were within featherweight limit

[claudevsq]

That's weird... We should have a look who put these fights in...

[claudevsq]

What do you think, Anton, shouldn't these 4 title defences be removed (I don't mean the fights, just the titles...)?

John is aware of it. Here's a couple of his replies:-

could be diff weigh ins, the title could be day before and commission on day ??
Yes, we have to use the commission weights but the sanctioning body can do what they want

Leave it to him

IMO, defences & maybe even vacant contest was just publicity stunts....no mention of it on official results
According to official results, in vacant title contest he weighed 131lbs & Mincks 130. Show is locked, so I can't insert

[claudevsq]

You can take out your remark, I inserted the weights. Anton, you may well insert weights on a locked show... Simply click on the "balance" symbol on the fighter's page, where all the weights appear from his whole career, there, you can enter them...

Cheers! How can unbalanced bloke remember "balance" symbol function?
