The first 50 amateur fights = 1 pro fight and then every 10...

...You've had another pro fight."

I don't remember who said this, but it seems about right.

For example (and before all you Lomasexuals get on my case, I am not picking on him I have a lot of respect for Lomachenko and what he has accomplished, I think he's #1 P4P, I'm just making an example) Lomachenko was 396-1 as an amateur; that equates to a pro record of 35-0. Let's say for example that three WSB fights equals one pro fight (no headgear, 5 rounds, I'd say it's about right. He had 7 which means two more; 37-0. Add in one pro fight before Salido, and he entered the fight with a real record of 38-0. There is no record of Salido's amateur carer, but as he turned pro at 16, he probably never had one. That would mean that in their first fight, the records were as follows:

Lomachenko 38-0
Salido 42-12.

Another example, Mayweather was 84-8 as an amateur. That equates to a pro record of 4-0. He was 17-0 when he fought Genaro Hernandez for the Super fewtherweight title in '98, so their "true" records were as follows:

Mayweather 21-0
Hernandez (no amateur record) 38-2-1

Here are some other amateur records so you can play along at home. Remember, first 50 = one fight, every other 10 = one fight, 3 WSB = one fight, 10 losses = one loss.

For instance; Sven Ottke 256-47-5 = true record of 21-4 entering the pros.
