Should Lomas WSB fights count?

So does amateur boxing since 2013 when he was fighting in WSB and top amateurs have always received money in most countries so there go all your arguments.

 

Rasheed war ren's wsb fights counted. It's just that in some commision's it wasn't recognised and fighters such as Lomachenko knew that going in so it obviously should NOT count.

I learnt that from thaboxingvoice show on Sunday.

 

This might shine a bit of light on it although I think the landscape may have changed in the past 18 months.

what amateur boxing association held the event? or were the official body in charge of the event? If they aint amateurs then they must be pros.....

 

The only real differences between current amateur boxing/WSB and the pros that i can think of are:

1) They are sanctioned by AIBA the world governing body for amateur boxing and use their rules

2) Fights have less rounds

3) They're fighting fellow amateurs

4) Same day weigh ins (something pro boxing should follow)

5) 10 weightclasses instead of 17 (something pro boxing should follow)

6) The gloves have more padding and you can't completely close your fist with them

7) They don't use pro hand wraps with tape and gauze

8) They give standing 8 counts and do it much quicker than they would in pro fights under commissions that still use them

WSB is an AIBA event

 

I say NO, because it is sanctioned by a amateur boxing association and all fighters have no professional fights.

 

The only reason it was counted is because commissions in America said they were , Iv no doubt that someone within the major boxing organisations pressured tem into doing this as they feel threatened by aibas pro boxing venture which could potentially seriously damage there interests and capture all the best amateurs and stop them going pro

 

This

thats why WSB fights that took place in the US are counted which explains warr.en and Guasha. Lomachenko never fought in the US though and no one cares what America thinks.

If that's your definition fine but Lomachenko is about 150-2 then, Rigo about 150-6 and the list goes on. WSB fighters basically get paid a salary which is the same thing countries do for their amateur boxers so they can be full time fighters along with large bonus money for bringing home medals.
