Why does amateur boxing look so different from pro boxing?

if u ask a pro guy are u better now than when you were an am, he would say yes pros are much more physically stronger overall i would say

Short answer: scoring system ​​​​​​That's a how answer, not a why answer

Short answer: scoring system

Gloves are different so you don't make clean contact like with pro gloves. Scoring criteria is completely different so damage isn't factored in. Duration of bouts are much shorter so that high energy amateur style will gas someone out. All in all the amateurs heavily favor particular styles. That's why being accomplished as an amateur is good but it doesn't mean you are going to do well against pressure fighters in the pro ranks. There are feather fisted guys who do well in pro boxing, though.

I bet an amateur box coach would say this cross in inaccurate... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rCPKMjQhXwk&list=LL&index=4&pp=gAQBiAQB

I think there are a bunch of differences when it comes to Pro vs Amateur boxing. Some Am fights are 1 1/2 minute rounds so most fighters gotta let their hands go. Because of that. Some coaches go with volume over accuracy or power. You don't see many body shots compared to the pros because of the short fight window also. In tounaments you dont know exactly who you'll be fighting until after the Same Day weigh ins. So coaches prepare you for all styles. Alot of coaches have the mentality that the Ams are just a preparation for the pros. Some coaches see the Ams as a springboard to the pros. If you have a good Amateur resume. It could lead to you being signed by a promoter or manager. Then there are some coaches that strictly train their kids for the Amateur without even a thought of turning them Pro.

:boxing: Because it’s a different scoring system. Plus the fighters are still learning

aWhat about the the gloves suck? Idk, they're puffy? ,idk i just feel like pro gloves are just better, especially for punchers.

Amateur boxing has a higher pace than pro boxing, they also dont sit on their punches, no feeling out process, throw more punches and combinations, with just enough pop. As for Scoring, it used to be different, but now have adopted the 10 must point system, with knock dows being most of the times 10-8 rounds. The gloves also suck. aWhat about the the gloves suck?

Different/bigger gloves, different number of rounds, different scoring criteria, (sometimes) head gear. Not that complicated. Glove sizes vary in pro boxing without affecting punching mechanics from one bout to another. Could it be that pro boxing is for the public, so that's why power was awarded more?

Plenty don't see professional as a natural transition from amateur. And some fail miserably... Like Tyrell Biggs. He couldn't make the transition. Slaughtered by big punchers as a pro
