Luke Campbell became England's first European amateur champion for 47 years i've been really impressed with this kid. he's got good skills, very savy, brillient jab, combos, footwork. first saw him in the ABA championships where he took gold and just impressed with his all round skills he's 21 years old and intends to go to 2012, i wish he would turn pro before then because he's a brillient prospect and it might be to late after 2012 with no guarenteed medal anyone else seen him? thoughts on his future?
Turn pro immediately. No point staying in the amateurs and getting ripped off in his next tournament.
Sadly, that is how I feel now. The scoring in that final was a joke. 5 points scored after 4 rounds? :roll:
There is no point staying amateur. The game doesn't actually reward good, clever boxing. The art of opening your opponent up and hitting with scoring shots. It encourages holding, running, lunging, slapping, carelessness etc.
What do people think is career would have gone like if he turned over back then? I think he probley made the right decision turning over when he did in terms of the amount of money he's going to make he ll be set for life. I can't see him going all the way to be honest I hope so but can't see it
