    re: ABA finals, how do fighters get there?probably silly question but i have no idea.. I have been training for couple of years firstly for fitness but really enjoyed it and started at amateur boxing club few months ago.. had 1st fight the other week and won, got another this saturday but these are 'club shows' are these the same as ABA ranked bouts?

    i think not.. they are by ABA rules but its unofficial. Official are championships, like nationals, regional, city etc...

    you must win this regional championships first, then national, so you can end up in national team. then you go to bigger championships like aba finals, wc etc..

    Get your body prepared and aquire some skill, in a gym with a certified trainer, before seeking out a bout. Otherwise I can almost guarantee you a horrible experience.
