Ive heard that you can be charged with more than just simple assault because you're trained to use your hands as a weapon.

I dont reckon that'd hold up in court for an amature boxer though. If you think about it, as an amature you're not trained to 'fight' your trained to 'compete' and its not until you reach pro that you 'fight'. The fact that amature contests are known as such, or as 'bouts' and not as 'fights' supports this.

This means that youd probably be able to argue that as an amature, your not a trained fighter...but a trained competitor...so your hands arnt deadly weapons afterall.

Just my few thoughts on the subject

Cheers
