    The opponents he was fighting would've still been at a far higher level than a regular schedule for a prospect turning pro. Not to mention they are only 5 round fights, it's a bit hard to stop a good opponent within 5 rounds no matter how good you are.

    Nope, rounds scored on the 10 point must system. The amateurs will be scored the same way from next year as well though.

    It is the league with teams. The Ukraine team this season has Lomachenko and Usyk, when those guys turn pro later in the year they will be big names in boxing.

    This demonstrated just how bad the Olympians were this year, Spence and a couple others looked pretty good but this wasn't like previous years in amateurs debuting...

    Russell needs to STEP UP after this. there's no way the prospect of the year should still be fighting on this level.

    too talented.

    Chris Martin is a decent contender. And as Showtime said Castaneda was stopped by him.


    In other words. Russell will kill him.

    :good. There's also a really crapoy team fighting league, but I now remember that is mma. I was definitely thinking of the wrong thing.

    It's been a long week.
