Because the shoulder roll is a complex defensive technique that takes a lot of time and experience to master and almost no one who's just starting will be able to do properly. Not to mention most people here would be competing as amateurs, if at all, and shoulder rolling isn't exactly great for the amateurs.
i dont see your point, your trying to say a begginer isnt experienced enough to attempt a shoulder roll. I think its better to learn it from the beggining when your opponents punches arnt as sharp,quick or hard. There is no point waiting until you are fighting more experienced guys who have the potential to hurt you. You need to build a good foundation from the start. Why isnt the shoulder roll any good in the amateurs, you can use the shoulder roll, then counter back straight away with your own right hand. I can see you are only looking at the shoulder roll from a defensive point of view. Im looking at it from a defensive and offensive point of view. Sometimes you need to use a shoulder roll the protect your chin, you dont always have time to slip or parry if you see a punch to late or your opponent is too quick.

It's not good in the amateurs because a shoulder roll's effectiveness, imo, comes from taking away a lot of the force of a blow. It doesn't matter if you take away a lot of force and don't get hit hard in the amateurs, it matters that you're getting hit at all with a clean shot. With the way the computer scoring especially works you're asking to be beaten pretty easily by an experienced boxer; and as a novice the last thing you want to have been training to do is keep one hand low; because someone will come in flailing at you and your technique will go out the window; and then you'll be left without even the muscle memory to keep your hands up.
Absolutely right although i still use it cuz my goal is to be a great pro eventually. but i had a fight with an inexperienced fighter who just came in swinging non stop. i rolled everyshot and wasnt caught once although the roll makes you look like your taking the blow. i rolled, stepped right, and as soon as his wild left came out i threw a right uppercut underneath, rolled the right handcoming back, and threw a str8 right over the top. i got hit maybe three or four times that fight and his eye was swollen shut, and they raised his hand at the end. and man it takes alot of flush right hands to swell someones eye shut in the amatures.
