Is it too late for me? Video inside.

Well you obviously got handspeed going for u.

 

well the workout looks great!
but i would pull back my hands back to the chin after a punch, you seem to drop your hands after you jabbed.

you said you had 6 amateurfights and now you thinking about turning pro???!!!

 

never too late pal.

 

yer 4 sure its never to late

 

Never too late. All depends what you want out of the sport as well of course. But even at 23 you never know. Michael grant started boxing late and while he never won a title fought some big fights and made a load of money which is more than most boxers will ever acheive.

You're hands are fast, but you drop your hands after a punch leaving yourself exposed to a counter. You seem to be throwing a lot of arm punches, you need to set your feet better and pivot off them to generate more leverage. Try mixing in some more head movement as well.

 

WHy did you stop competing as an amateur?

 

Correct me if i'm wrong, but you need alot more ring/fighting experience then you can get from 6 fights. And with experience i don't mean the sparringsessions, but really the real fights in the ring with a audience.
If you want to turn pro you should invest in the traveling.
but this is mine point of view.

 

I agree. Things don't really start to click in the ring until you get around 10 fights. Less than 10 fights and you are still a novice, fighting other novices. It's a whole different game when you become open class and you are thrown in there with people who have 50-100 fights, then you can make a real assesment about whether or not you are ready to turn professional.

My advice to the original poster would be to compete on season as an amateur and get as many fights as you can. Enter some advancing tournaments where there will be top level competition. Then thing about being professional.

 

Professional boxing is like any other business, it's about making money. To make money in boxing you have to be able to draw the fans. What is it you have that the fans will want to pay for?

 

you're pretty good. You have good coordination, agility and handspeed. One thing that's important, and it may not correspond to your style, but it's necessary as a habit, is always keeping your hands up, i.e. after you threw punches you would drop them. Your footwork is also good, pretty fleet of foot. And no, I don't think it's too late, especially if you've had experience - if you believe, that's all that matters.

Natural athleticism is good, but you don't want to half-ass it because you think you can skate by with some talent. Look at mayweather

 

Its never too late. My first pro fight is january 19th. i only have 11 official amatuers fights(although i have about 25 additional non-santioned fights) Ive onyl been boxing for a year and a half and i just turned 22. Never let ne one tell u ur too old to do sumthing or that u cant do it.

 

After reviewing the video, I recommend going back into amateurs for a little while and see how you do. Compete in some serious tournament and if you do well then maybe consider giving it a go.
And as for you age, its not that big of a concern. Pro Boxers nowadays are fighting well into there 40s.
