Even the first or second time pros seem leagues apart from the amateur brawlers.

Personally, I'd say just stick to your basics, learn to press the pace while keeping form, learn to move around. Use these bad boxers as target practice until you can beat any of them with ease. Then worry about a pro career.

Well done... Good points, if I get a slugger I focus on defence and once they are burned out I press the attack (a 6 minute rumble in the Jungle :P) most sluggers have no game plan other than walk forwards and punch so thats all they do, which tires them out. just make sure that when defending you throw enough counters so that you win clearly... judges these days can be blind...

(I wouldn't recomend it if you yourself can't box, I've spent 1000s of hours in the gym focusing on defence and ringcraft, so I've got the confidence to do it to some one who can punch for 2 minutes of every round, if your a beginner... don't bother trying... the ref will stop it, you'll get KOd or you'll not have the experience to defend and win on points)
