About the Super Middleweight Division

Weight Limit: 160-168 lbs (72.6-76.2 kg)

Super Middleweight, established in 1984, is a relatively modern division that has become one of boxing's most competitive weight classes. The division features fighters who combine middleweight speed with near-light heavyweight power.

Division Characteristics

Super Middleweights are known for their versatility - they can box technically, brawl, and everything in between. The division often produces exciting, competitive fights.

Notable Facts

The Super Middleweight division gained significant attention with the Super Six World Boxing Classic tournament, which brought together the best fighters in the division for a round-robin competition.

Historical Context

Created to bridge the gap between Middleweight and Light Heavyweight, Super Middleweight has evolved into a highly respected division with a strong talent pool.
