Amature Success effects pro style

i think sometimes their defence is very good in fact, they are usually great couterpunchers who arent easy to tag clean, if it effects anything i'd say sometimes inside fighting and adaptability have been found lacking (if it becomes a war of attrition they dont know how to switch off from signe shot pointscoring mode), lack of bodypunching can be an issue as well

 

I'd say their biggest weaknesses are....

Bumrushing in
Poor punching technique
Crap jab, hooks and uppercuts
Useless on the inside

Understanable really, considering the amateur scoring system doesn't reward any of those things listed above.

Just throw as many straight lefts and rights as you can and hope the judges have twitchy fingers over your button.

 

Jesus that sounds easy:roll:

 

yeah think i read some where there changing the amature system for olympics, no head gaurds and no computer scoring trying to make it more like pro boxing wonder if it will filter its way across the whole of the amatures ?

 

I wouldn't get rid of the headgear but it would be good if they found a way to change the scoring system so that it brings the amateurs a bit closer to the pros, how they do that I do not know.

 

Just switch to the 10 point system.

At least it gives the judges chance to watch the action and score it, as opposed to having to push a button all the time.

It was only changed because of a blatant bent decision in 1988. Just ban whoever was responsible (preferably permanently) and move on. You could kinda understand a bent decision in a little interclub show, but in a high profile sporting event you'd at least want to make sure you got it right.

It can't exactly be swept under the carpet, can it? The only thing the Korean kid did well was stay in there and not get KTFO.

 

can i ask why would you would keep the head gear as it can sometime hinder fighters, the scoring i think there are doing it similar to the pros not certain though

 

thats already the plan, an article was posted the other day on it.

 

Why would you want fighters to be riddled with scar tissue and possible brain damage before they even go pro?

 

Good.

To be honest I don't really follow the amateurs too much, haven't done since the last Olympics.

Does wearing a headguard protect against brain damage?

I'm sure I read something that stated that it doesn't really help.

 

They would be less likely to get cut or swelling, which prevents drop outs in tournament where there is a quick turn.

 

fair point but the olmypic committee seem to think its a good idea
