Thinking about going pro.

If you're not interested in going for the gold, go for it. You have nothing to lose.

 

Unless you have a great manager/promoter who can get you winnable fights, you will be served up to serious prospects who need soft opponents to get experience. And with only 6 amateur fights, unless you've been training along time and are really good somehow without much ring experience, there isn't gonna be many winnable fights for you.

 

Why don't you just move location, and take a trip down to Freddie Roaches gym...?

For 2weeks.

 

Why can't you get many fights as a amatuer..?

 

I did just that for 3 years, and an hour and a half was practically fighting at home for us. You just need to be willing to travel and fight as often as you can because with only 6 fights turning pro is a bad idea, and it's not like you won't have to travel to fight professionally...and at the entry level you don't get paid very much.

 

did you win all 6 fights easily?

 

****inel, lifes hard man.

Lifes ****ing hard.

I'm really depressed today.......

Don't give up the fight man, stay positive.

 

If your coach thinks you are ready and you aren't going to get matched up with someone to pad their record then go for it

 

if you are good enough then go for it. But only you know if you are really good enough. I think 18 is a little young to turn pro these days. 20 -22 is a good age. you are more developed. unless you are exceptionally good at 18 i would wait a little longer. Keep training, if you have to travel then travel. I know weighing in on the day is a hassle but every other amateur does it as well.
