I don't know if you are good enough, as I haven't seen you in action and (if I was you) I would not accept any advice from anyone on this forum about whether you are good enough, as there is not enough info in your post to make a proper reasoned decision.

Personally, mate, you are only young and - while some great great fighters have had little or no amateur experience, they are very much in the minority. I really doubt whether you can have truly grown out of the ameteur game having only had one bout and being only 18 (and I am not trying to put you down or anything by saying that) ....... you would be better off turning at pro at 21 or so with 40 or 50 amatuer bouts under your belt, in my opinion, anyway.

Whatever you decide, good luck to you - and I hope it works out!
