In the issue there is this ranking of Lumpinee in 1971. The lowest weight ranked in 106 lbs, called Light Flyweight (notable because small fighters are being represented, as discussed below). It may be 108 lbs, but it graphically looks like 106. The champion is Daotong Sityodtong. Ranked number 1 is Orachunnoi Hor.Mahachai.

Glairung is the 112 lb champion.

The highest weight is 126 lb, Featherweight. The champion is Soleman Ittianuchit, Fahsai Taweechai is number 1 rank. Notable that the weights do not reach into the 130-145 lb classes.
