    Amnat Ruenroeng, a guy who was more suited to amateurs and pulled off an elite resume in the pros, has been stopped!

    Carmine Tommasone OUT today against Lazaro Alvarez.

    N'Dam out in the first round.

    'Pros are going to KILL amateurs' :rofl
    Amateurs are not really 'amateurs', hence why they're being rebranded as ABA boxers.

    Try to keep things n perspective a little here, Ruenroeng, N'Dam and Tommasone aren't what I'd call KO artists, so he idea of someone outworking them in 3 rounds isn't all that impressive, they didn't have to worry about what's coming back at them.

    Put Wlad, Kovalev, GGG, Pacquiao, Joshua, Ortiz, Wilder or Haye in there, believe me, we'd be seeing ams being carried out on stretchers.

    Give me a break, Wilder has obviously improved greatly since his days in the amateurs and clearly his chin isn't as bad as most were hoping it would be. By that same token AJ would be body bagged as well, maybe Wlad too since he was KO'd 3 times.:roll:

    Yo wrong dude. Amateurs is not the game of knocking people out anyway..it's hardly possible with such padded gloves and different scoring construct. It's never easy to KO someone with very good skills in under 3 rounds.

    You've listed boxers who were elite amateurs themselves lol, even then, the pro game adaption would make them a bit slower in this construct.

    Thw whole roblem with pros in the amateurs was that big hitting veterans like Golovkin could easily hurt teenagers.

    So you're saying guys in the ams don't score KO's?:blood Khytrov supposedly KO'd like 400 of his opponents. Yoka was almost decapitated by Savon, Beterbiev and GGG have a high KO percentage. No it isn't easy, but most of the guys I listed would.

    :patsch The ones you're mentioning are elite power punchers with Great amateur backgrounds. There are monster punchers who haven't turned pro either - they hit as hard as the amateur construct allows them to. If they sit on their punches the way they do now as pros, they are most probably getting outpointed.

    Amnat Ruenroeng is a 49 kg boxer competing at 60 kg to be fair size difference in that fight was pretty clear.

    It's an oxymoron because pros don't wear headgear and ams don't fight 10 rounds..

    Also, Ruenroeng is a 36 year old fighter, a bit past his best. This isn't like when we sent the '92 Olympic Basketball Dream Team to compete with Jordan, Johnson, Bird, Pippen, Malone, Barkley, and Ewing on it and then we outscored everybody 2 to 1 or more.

    More notable pros wouldn't do any better, that's why I was hoping that some big names gave it a go. At least this is a start for people to understand the standard these 'amateurs' compete at. It should be obvious considering most elite pros were elite amateurs first.
