pro vs. amature technique

[supRa]

You cannot spar with pros unless your are a liensed professional. otherwise they can shut down your gym if you are in the US.

lol we spar with them all the time LOL, i never heard of that

i think technically perhaps in the us you cant spar them for insurance reasons, but tbh as long as noone gets really hurt, noone cares/finds out

i think the am scoring system is bull****, i lost my first fight on A points decision and i was ripping him hard in the body and putting him on the backfoot and wobbling him with shots and he was just tapping me, it doesnt reward a better boxer, its just who can throw the most slaps basically. i think they should go back to the round by round scoring system where they just award a round to either fighter based on aggression accuracy of punches, power shots, defence and overall dominance. and they should ditch the headgear (which doesnt even protect you that much) and the 2 min rounds, make it 3x3. like im still gonna box because i love to fight and i love the sport, but i like to pace myself and im a natural power puncher so i know im going to lose a few points decisions but i think im still a good enough boxer to achieve something in the ams, alot of people have said so, and i have been upping my workrate and learning some am tricks etc so yeah but i just hate the scoring system

^^ i guess you have to make a decision:
stay stylish, punch hard, go for dominance
or play the game, save power, speed punch, get as many taps as possible
im about power as well so am doesnt suit me that much

Yeh I saw amateur fights on utube though where one goes for the tap, tap, tap and the other takes it easy, waits, counters with great combos, steps out, waits, etc, etc

It looked alot more appealing
