I want to turn pro but only have 5 Amateur bouts?

[KoolCat]

I want to turn pro after only 5 bouts. I honestly feel that the amateurs is not helping me. I'm currently a 2nd year student and I started boxing back in Europe when I was very young. The issue here for me is that I can't seem to find a good source of super heavy weight amateur schedules.

There are plenty of welterweights and middleweights competitions but very very few super heavys. So what's the point of getting 1 ameatur fight per month? It's just wasting my time. Should I just turn pro and learn that way?

Talk to your trainer.

Talk to your trainer.

He said it's a ****** idea and I need at least another 2-3 years of experience. I want to drop him though because I feel like I'm ready.
This is a boxing site...shouldn't you guys give me career advice?

I see your trying to get one of those 5 slots to fight Floyd. You better hurry up you have about 2 years.

It's a tricky one because if you turn pro there's no guarantee that you'd fight more than once a month either. But if you have a good management, you could fight once a week. It's unpredictable.

If you're ready to turn pro then go for it, many fighters go pro without any amateur fights at all. One thing you could do is find 5 to 10 fighters who would be willing to fight you in your debut pro bout - choose one of those fighters for your debut. Now you have a list of potential opponents you can fight them all over a few months.

How old are you?

[Juof]

I'd listen to your trainer

[KaL-EL]

do you have any videos of your matches that I can see?

[KoolCat]

How old are you?

19, I'm ready now though.. I don't feel like I can be taught anything.
I been sparring in Europe since I was 9 years old .. to me that counts as amateur experience because I spar good boxers.
The last guy I fought was some 20 year old who's only 6 feet and threw the same right hand like 10 times in a single round and I actually regressed. I don't want to go back to Europe just for 'boxing' when I'm still a student... but the lack of super heavyweight ameatur program on the West Coast means I got zero outlet for improvement.

do you have any videos of your matches that I can see?

Yes. I only fought 5 times though. I basically up load it to youtube first right?

Than link here? Is that how it works?
