It's the amatuers there are a lot more weight classes than pro's...Plus they are mostly kids so they want things even as possible...There are many new rules in USA Amatuer Boxing since 05'..EG no tape between the knuckles....Changes in mouth pieces...We have to go to what is called boxing clinics every time there are rule changes....We have to review new rules and take test on them....It's not easy as many would think being an amatuer coach.....Then again unlike Pro's who can make decisions for themselves whether or not they agree with something...The kids have to go by what we say..They don't know but what we teach them and the USA Amatuer commission wants to make sure we aren't careless....Something I agree with totaly...You would be suprised on how many gyms I have been to that wanna be coachs and trainers know almost nothing or teach bad habits
