Reading this record

The 32–8–11 line recorded for Mite Yine is a career-stage approximation rather than a sanctioning-body total. Traditional-era bouts were fought on festival and sandpit cards that kept no systematic records, so for fighters of this generation the real number of contests is very likely higher than any surviving count.

44% of those wins came inside the distance, which ranks 25th of the 29 profiled fighters with a documented record. That points to a fighter who won through accumulation and control rather than one-shot power, a profile well suited to a format where surviving deep rounds is itself a result.

Mite Yine is one of 4 fighters profiled at featherweight, and fights orthodox, as 28 of the 32 profiled fighters do.
