How many fights have u had??

no amatuer fights?
even if you have the ability it is good to learn the mental sid eof preparing for a fight with a few amatuers first, i have to admit my first few amatuer fights i was very nervous and a little scared, but i learny how to cope with it then went pro

 

5-0 fightin for a australian state title next year

 

30 - all amateur

 

no amateur fights and going pro right away? well, ... then GOOD LUCK!

 

and a titlefight with only 5 fights? what kind of level must that state title have....i guess it says it all

 

its amateur idiot.

 

It's the same in the US too. You just have to have 5 fights to enter the open class tournaments...no guarantee you'll win them though.

 

Relentless - thanks for the compliment. regardless of amateur or pro, you re just a beginner and not worth to get a titlefight yet.

but with such a record participating on a tournament, this is enough info about the quality there

 

Ive had 38 fights


With 9 losses

 

There's no such thing as "getting" a title fight in the amateurs; because they aren't arranged like that. You enter the tournament and if you win you progress; regardless of how many fights you have or anything. As long as you have over 5 you can enter the tournaments here in the US; like Golden Gloves and US Nationals and PAL. Are those all low quality tournaments?

 

Yes, but if you've got 5 fights, it's extremely unlikely that you will win or even do moderatly well if the quality is high. This is why very few people with 5 fights enter such tournaments. So if someone has that amount of fights and is entertering he is either (1) Super talented; (2) his coach is an idiot; (3) the tournament is ****; (4) daring.

 

once you have 30 fights,you can consider participating on (national) tournaments. for international tournaments such as AIBA or EABA for europe, you need to have about 60-70 fights.

on the other hand, a good fight record doesnt mean too much.its also important not to face just bums and yourneymen,but experienced boxers. those will bring you on a new level.

 

It all depends on the boxer. There's a guy here in the states that last year won the novice (under 10 bouts) at the Ringside tournament, then less than a year later competed at Nationals in a very talented division and is now ranked 8th in the country.

For some people, these large tournaments is the only place to get fights.

 

We had a few from our region who were like that; and their only downfall was that they were green compared to their opponents; not a lack of skill or anything like that. But like Amy said, a guy we know and have met, J'Leon Love; won Ringside at novice in 2006 and in 2007 was the runner up in the Golden Gloves and did very well at the US Nationals at Middleweight; which is a strong amateur division in the US. Given, J'Leon is from Detroit and trains at the Kronk; but it still shows that you can progress and do well without necessarily having a huge number of fights.

 

Those are exceptions which apply to point (1) - they are extremely talented.
