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

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.

Ya. My older cousin already on to it. We found 3 guys who's records are like 4-20, 10-19, and 1-8... those are perfect guys for debut.

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

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.

Your trainer see's things you do not see,i'd trust him and listen. Most fighters fail due to ignoring their trainers.

does your trainer have any pro boxers under him? or just amateurs?

Just amateurs when he was back in Europe. He is Russian and I don't trust him one bit.

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?

My advice have at least 50 amateur bouts if amateur boxing isn't helping than how is boxing pro going to help ?

19 is a bit young to go pro especially as a HW, your body isn't even fully developed yet.

If you don't trust your trainer go to someone else, you will also need a good match maker, not just your cousins looking for guys with bad records. records can be deceiving.

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?

This is a boxing forum, but that doesn't mean we're all qualified to give you career advice. Best to leave that to professionals.

here is the advice, compete in world championship with no further steps as Olympics or tournaments for $. After that turn pro. and i'm sure that will help you a lot, with good competition in it)

after reading all of his posts - i think he is just messing with us. 19y.o with 5 bouts that thinks he cant be taught more..for sure.

russian brother with no trust, europe background) just because you live somewhere where you cant compete or be trained good, doesnt mean you are superior and ready for pros. wake up from your imaginary world
