    Controlled headguard off for the amateurs to go back and forth with revenue like a professional boxing UFC exclusively for amateurs.

    Is this supposed to make the transition smoother?

    Could be awesome......... most if not all of the top amateurs that have failed have been Hopkins old or in some cases weight drained because they stayed in the same division they won their medal in (not always a good idea aka Amir Khan).
