Awesome. With my short height at least I got me some long arms for advantage. In euro I'm 172cm and my reach is 180cm, so 8cm would be 3 inches and a bit. And the reach is a little under 71 inches. Hows that for a middleweight? Or a light middleweight?

@bigbadwolff1 good point about the lighter faster hands after using gloves sorta things
its like baseball, swing with like 5 bats at once and youll swing faster when using a single bat
