he said 99% of people, the top 10 fighter in a division most likely make up less that 1% of the division that would make the division only 1000 fighters deep lolComment

The goal is obviously effectiveness. If you land more punches than your opponent, you'll win. Since the fights are so short, aggression can be a great ally, but you can also counterboxand win, just like in the pro's.
Furthermore, unlike what people who don't really know what they're taking about say, harder punching will give you an advantage. The harder the punch, the bigger the chance of the judges seeing it, and rewarding it. I watch over 1,000 am fights a year from beginners to world level, and it is much more common for a guy throwing harder punches yet landing less to get a win, than a featherfisted guy getting a win over a heavier puncher in a remotely close fight. Especially in the last few years, where the number of registered punches in bouts have gone down considerably.Comment

Well, you're setting him up to lose in that scenario. It's like the comparison between MMA and boxing. Of course a boxer won't be able to beat an MMA fighter in the octagon, but in a boxing match???
Same thing with Gamboa. Obviously someone conditioned to go 4 two minute rounds won't do well against someone who is used to going 8-10-12 three minute rounds, if they're fighting that distance. He'd wear out, and get beat down the stretch. Now, put the top 5 guy in a 4 two minute round fight with him, and yes, I think Gamboa could win.
It's a different set of skills, and of course the guy who's been training and fine tuning for the exact rules they'll be fighting under will have a huge advantage.
So I guess there a few nuances in this, that went over your head.
Edit: And like Ryno said, I don't necesssarily think a top5 guy is part of the 99%

Why don't you look at what you did wrong, learn from it and return better the next time? Complaining about it makes you look like a *****.thanks punchdrunk and good answer unlike some off the bs i got back why post if your just going to diss i mean why waste your time but anyways that makes more sense i guess but when he hit me i blocked when i hit him even with my jab i snapped his head i think the score wider punches better that they can see as oppose to inside shorter punches?
Oh and if no-one explained amateur boxing to you why are you competing in amateur boxing?Comment

You gotta realize, that everybody feels robbed in a fight sometimes, pro or am. Maybe they robbed you, maybe you just feel like they did, it happens. If you want to be succesful, you have to get over it, come back stronger.thanks punchdrunk and good answer unlike some off the bs i got back why post if your just going to diss i mean why waste your time but anyways that makes more sense i guess but when he hit me i blocked when i hit him even with my jab i snapped his head i think the score wider punches better that they can see as oppose to inside shorter punches?Comment
