Man amateurs are sloppy!

yeh i was at that same fight night and some of the fighters were lookin sloppy in the ring but i guess thats cos they get nervous and just start swingin wildly and try 2 brawl with the other fighter, especially if they havent had many fights inside the ring the only thing they would be used 2 when it comes 2 fightin and really tryin 2 hurt the other fighter is fightin on the street.
there was 1 young kid and i think it was bout his 2nd or 3rd fight and he was throwin left right over hand haymakers of some sort, just goin 4 a knock out and he even did that again the followin round i dont understand y the trainers didnt drum it in2 him that he should box.

snakey, there is a fight night in my home town in bout september or around that time, ya should make the trip down 2 watch i may be fightin that nite if i keep up the hard work.

Amateurs are shit

It has been that way for a long time

Should 8 or 12 year olds box competitively?

Most trainers narrow minded?

Should they be allowed to box the next week after a bout?

Is headgear useful?

Is there no real regional tournaments?

Is the scoring system flawed?

amatuers are not shit. fuck you man.
some of us are just starting out, but others have been going for a while. trust me it isnt as easy as it seems to KO somone, and you can take it from me, ive KO'd 12 people in my freaking "career".

id love to see some of the guys who think all amatuers are poor to get in the right with me/some people i know. that would be a really big shock

Man lets not forget the extremely hot ring card chicks ;D

hey everybody starts as an amateure.
Look at cuba they dont even turn pro but if they did they would have alot of world title belts gauranteed.
kindelen has beaten cotto when he was an amateure. cotto is not shit. anybody who sneers and turns there noses up at amateure boxing is a wan*er and knows very little about boxing, its like your apprenticeship into the sport no ones a master at the start it takes alot to learn the sport.
And as far as knocking someone out goes you can hit someone your hardest and they are still there, how much fights have you had snakey, not much by the sounds of things because amateures go 100 miles an hour rush at you swing at you. Try and look good when someone is running swingin its hard i know.
