everyone knows pro boxing is way better than amateur boxing
amateur boxing its just a stepping stone for people to make their debut as pros
thats why amateur boxing is never televised its more boring than a cory spinks fight
so try againComment

This isnt why mexicans dont really have a presence though, its because economically amatuer programs cost money, and when you can turn pro at 15 years old, then alot of fighters dont really wanna wait to become fighters and develop skillsets when you can start making money immediately. Take antonio margarito for example, he breaks so many rules in boxing, his head movement isnt great, his jab is terribly slow, he telegraphs just about all his punches and his footwork isnt exactly great, however he is basically all offense for the most part and he hits hard. This is a product of having to develop quickly and bring in money as opposed to slowly developing yourself into a more complete fighter, this is the case with alot of mexican born fighters.Comment

yep unlike cuba or the usa mexico olympic organization is a disgrace full of corrupt managers that take the money that is supposed to improve the olympic squad and put it in their own pocketsThis isnt why mexicans dont really have a presence though, its because economically amatuer programs cost money, and when you can turn pro at 15 years old, then alot of fighters dont really wanna wait to become fighters and develop skillsets when you can start making money immediately.

even the cash prizes are extremely low
for most guys who want to break out of poverty is better just debuting at professionalComment

How can you say there is no passion involved, when fighters who ARE NOT BEING PAID choose to put their heart and soul into years worth of work, to participate in the olympics which only comes every 4 years, knowing they could be eliminated in their first fight?Comment

well I seen different.
because most of these guys are young and hungery for fighters.
just because they are wearing head gears doesnt mean a thing, There are people who could beat you in pulp even if you are wearing headgear.
Have you seen Jirov vs Tarver? Vargas vs Corely? ...etcComment
good one i cant remember ever seeing a pinoy at welterweight or up either
