    I was never aware of the WSB until recently. And I knew amateur had approved to remove headgear, but I wasn't aware of the 10 point system....but I thought that was just for Olympic boxing? Or is it for all amateur now?

    WSB is 5 rounds and no head gear. May not be officially pro but it counts a lot more in reality than most pro's early fights.

    I definitely like the 10 point system for amateurs, but they could leave the headgear as far as I am concerned. At least with the younger kids they should. But in Olympics it should be just like the pros

    no shirts...no headgear....they got paid....it was 5 rounds. them shits were pro bouts. the killer is....the guys fighting each other were high caliber and much tougher than opponents they would have faced typically if they went pro in america.

    Here's Lomachenko's WSB fight against the only guy who beat him in the amateurs, Albert Selimov:

    Another pretty good one, Lomachenko vs Valentino:

    Just for shits n giggles, here's cruiserweight Oleksandr Usyk vs Joseph Joyce.
    Entertaining fight:

    They still have all the fights from last season on the WSB youtube page. You just have to look for the ones you want.

    Thanks, are those the best World Series of Boxing fights? I'd be interested in seeing high level amateurs duke it out. Most of the best of that kind are from the Olympics like Bowe vs Lewis, or the Olympic qualifiers such as Pryor vs Hearns, or that Golden Gloves with Tony Ayala. Unfortunately, with so many professional amateurs never turning pro, you get guys like Teofilo Stevenson and Felix Savon going their who career in the ammies, and most people never get to see what they can do.

    I get the feeling there are a number of guys like that out there, but I can't find an official p4p ranking like you'd find for pros at boxrec or Ring Magazine. I'm getting a little sick of being blindsided by guys like Rigondeaux, Lomachenko, Golovkin, and Kovalev coming out of nowhere and stomping everyone; so it would be nice to know who say the top ten p4p amateurs are and if they might turn pro any time soon. Like, isn't there some Italian guy who beat Anthony Joshua, won some world amateur championships, and looks like Vitali Klitschko?
