Of course JT and RP33 wants to step in there and knock the stank off a few people making a mockery of the sport. Who doesn't? Christ all sorta people want to. I WANT TO! But I'm not going to, because it will only help perpetuate the silliness of it in the name of professional boxing.
Too bad these guys got their licences, because this would be better served in a parking lot, a basement, or yes...a toughman contest.
And bullshit Toughmans are amateur, or semi-pro or anything other then brawls for cash and fun...anywhere.

where are the kids supplementing for amateur here??
It isn't for kids. It is for adults and entertainment and no different then any other toughman. I just googled about 12 of them, toughman, and the rules are basically the same.
I'm not shitting on this...hey, if that is what people want to do, so be it. But it isn't close to the realm of professional. It in fact specifies NO PROFESSIONALS!! Limited amateur.
It isn't amateurs as it doesn't count for anything in boxing. USA amateur boxing out of Colorado had no affiliation. No boxing association has any affiliation with it, other then allowing some officials to partake in it. It doesn't replace it, and it is specifically for adults, and doesn't really have any progression to it. It is for people who want to jump in the ring and have a go. Which is fine...but blurring the lines between this and anything amateur and professional is B.S.
And this is essentially what the Trailer Park Series is, or was. Masked and marketed as professional boxing. A shit label for essentially a joke towards boxing. Yet Stacy thinks (or claims) he is doing a service.
Fucking joke, I say.
