Amateur Experience before PRO?

[FacePuncher]

If you haven't spared before, and you practise your combos from what you see on internet videos.. then I assume you don't have a coach and have not competed in amateur competition.. so you are not really an amateur fighter.. I would suggest you find a good coach, get lots of sparring and solid training and then see if you are ready for amateur competition.

Just given what you have said, you are definitely not ready to go pro!

Who have you sparred with? Actual competing amateurs or guys just like yourself? Are you registered with an amateur club?

Yes done sparrin but only 4 times, the coach said i have good technique, good movement round the ring etc...... I'm not registered yet but when i find a good boxing club i will then, i now i'm not an amateur boxer yet, but feel i have the right condition, and my boxin combos, on bag and opponents were pretty good, like i said it can get much better with coachin guidance and nurserin......

What I mean is what level of opponent have you sparred with? There's a vast difference between your average guy in a gym & actual amateur boxers.

Where is this coach? Is he a boxing tutor or a coach at an amateur boxing club? Are you in the UK? I might be able to give you some advice about clubs if you are.

Boxing tutors in a lot of the cases have very little idea what they are on about. Many have never had bouts or even sparred to a particularly good level. May not be true in this case, but I know many like this. Only sparring with amateurs at either your level or generally better than you will improve you & only under the guidance of an knowledgeable coach. Whereabouts do you live? I might be able to suggest an ABC that would help you improve quicker & let you know whether it's what you really want to do.
