Should Lomas WSB fights count?

Like all organisation apb boxing will grow and if they can keep building and building slowly but surely due to them having first option on amatuer boxers so to speak they will become a threat

 

quit trying to take away from what he just accomplished.
its an amateur event (the world series of boxing)

 

1) that guy is some marketing director for the German team not a AIBA representative

2) he says WSB is a stepping stone/feeder system to the pros, he's talking about AIBA's plans to start APB (AIBA Pro Boxing) which is what GMurphy was talking about.

 

You've got your answers and just keep repeating the same **** i already addressed that.

 

The fact is, the WSB are identical to amateur boxing in every single way possible, the only difference is that WSB is 5 rounds. Getting paid for the fights doesn't change the fact that the fights themselves are clearly amateur + 2 more amateur rounds.

You've just been pimp slapped left right and centre by Vysotsky and gmurphy. Seriously.

This isn't a thread about the argumentation anymore, this is just a needy desperacy for you to be right. What's the point of discussion if this is what you are?

 

The point is he's an excellent troll

Its actually a mixture of Professional and Amateur boxers-or can be by definition of the criteria that get paid yet can still compete in the Olympics (the effective carrot of the WSB as opposed to turning full time Pro).

By definition of the Organisation its Amateur but geared towards a professional boxing setup, though not fully-round numbers etc.

You can only fight against a selected pool in terms of quality though, no journeymen pros i dont think as the quality criteria would see them ruled out.

So should these bouts count...its an Amateur organisation running a competition and the boxers sign 'Amateur' contracts so technically no they arent Pro bouts.

They could be considered comparable to a pros early learning fights when just 'turned over to the pro game and certainly should be taken into account when assessing a fighters potential. WSB is above 'typical amateur' level but is below pro.
