I'd say try and get his british belt back at Bantam, or move back down a weight to super fly or something and try his luck there.

The last time he made that weight was nearly 10 years ago and he got KO'd...
Napa must walk around at 9.1/2-10 stone.. I cant see him making 8 stone again.......

Fine, but at his size, he surely should be able to make it. He's only five foot, for crying out oud.

Are you telling me that looking at how cut he is, that he could shave off 6 pounds with proper eating between fights, proper dieting and day-before weightins?

I suppose maybe that's alot, but how much of a domestic superfly division is there? Maybe it's fly or bantam for him. Sorry, but I'm a bit out of touch with the domestic stuff what with living in Moscow.

I make you right, the British S-Fly has ony been introduced lately 2007. 3 fights and 3 different Champions already and i think it will change hands again on the 17th of April when Booth fights Haskins.. There is a commonwealth at S-fly but No EBU European so if he did win a title then he would be on the world sence quickly which i think Napa would need anyway as he is 31.... He does llok like he Should make 8 stone but i acnt see it happenng...
