Question
Hi Lian,
do you know a site i can go to that shows the new up to date weight divisions in amatuer boxing?
                               Thanks Jim

Answer
Hi Jim,
Thanks for the question. Normally, I'd send you to USA Boxing's website to peruse the rulebook, but they've taken it down. Therefore, I'll just provide you with the divisions for senior amateur boxers:

Weight Division      Weight       Allowance
Light Flyweight           106      8 lbs.
Flyweight      112      8 lbs.
Bantam              119        8 lbs.
Featherweight           125      8 lbs.
Lightweight      132      10 lbs.
Light Welterweight   141      10 lbs.
Welterweight      152      10 lbs.
Middleweight      165      10 lbs.
Light Heavyweight   178      15 lbs.
Heavyweight      201      15 lbs.
Super Heavyweight     over 201       No limit.

I hope this helps, Jim.
Thanks again for writing!

Regards,
Lian
