Thread: english amatuer boxing

was jus wondering if any1 knew anything about it, as i have a few friends in the amatuer scene fighting at light welter , welter and middle weight, all fighting from portsmouth

What do you want to know? I think the weight categories only apply if you're going into competitions (like the ABA's or the novices). Most of the one off shows I've been to the fighters just have to be 2kg within each other. 3 x 2 minutes rounds..Is it 4 if you're in competitions? I havn't had my first bout yet so i'm not 100%. Maybe someone who competes can shed more light. The gloves they've used at every show have been 14oz as well. I always thought amateurs was 12oz.

Same as the Irish divisions. 3x2's for under 21, under 19 juniorrs etc.
For Intermediates, etc. 4x2's

i was jus wondering if any1 had heard of or had seen my mates box, i have friend who is southern countys welter champ and his identical twin brother got robbed in the southern countys light welter final they are josh and ash, leigh. i also have a mate who fights at middle weight mark coombes, any 1 knowof or seen them fight ?
