    Exclamation Amateur Experience before PRO?

    Hi guys

    I want to now how much experience amateurs have before they go PRO..... i now a few that have near enough 7 years plus even 10-15 years, but cus of my age, i was wonderin is 5 years adequate? I'm pretty distant with my combos and my fitness level is at a pretty well good standard now, the only thing i lack is sparrin, only done this 4 times, I have me combos and i do look at fights on the internet to view there sparrin and or fights and combos, to perfect mine as such. Personally i just need sparrin experience and coach guidance now to get me in the right foot steps and to brush up on my combos with coachin aspect of it, but i'am pretty confident with sparrin only having 4 experiences mind.
    What you reckon guys? thanks for your time,

    If you haven't spared before, and you practise your combos from what you see on internet videos.. then I assume you don't have a coach and have not competed in amateur competition.. so you are not really an amateur fighter.. I would suggest you find a good coach, get lots of sparring and solid training and then see if you are ready for amateur competition.

    Just given what you have said, you are definitely not ready to go pro!

    Who have you sparred with? Actual competing amateurs or guys just like yourself? Are you registered with an amateur club?

    4 years here, including 3 provincial titles, a couple of national championships w/title, international experience with wins and figure I'm still a long ways off.

    Yes done sparrin but only 4 times, the coach said i have good technique, good movement round the ring etc...... I'm not registered yet but when i find a good boxing club i will then, i now i'm not an amateur boxer yet, but feel i have the right condition, and my boxin combos, on bag and opponents were pretty good, like i said it can get much better with coachin guidance and nurserin......

    What I mean is what level of opponent have you sparred with? There's a vast difference between your average guy in a gym & actual amateur boxers.

    Where is this coach? Is he a boxing tutor or a coach at an amateur boxing club? Are you in the UK? I might be able to give you some advice about clubs if you are.
