Lomachenko's world records

[HanzGruber]

Amateur boxers get paid to compete, so should all of the amateur bouts count into their professional record?

Amateurs didn’t fight without headgear then

Very impressive. He is a great boxer in my opinion and deserves all the praise he is getting and none of the hate some strange posters on here give him.He is challenging a very good champion to try to win a title in his third weight class and he beats good fighters so easily and badly that some of them quit.

They fight without headgear now though, so should all amateur fights be considered professional bouts?
They get paid to compete and fight without head gear.

WSB is basically amateur boxing. Same rules (scoring, refs, etc.), competing against other amateurs, and bigger gloves.

One of the reasons it was created was to give amateur fighters more dates to compete.

World series of boxing is 5 three minute rounds. It is also team based.

Unlike amateur boxing, competitors taking part in sanctioned World Series of Boxing bouts must be bare-chested and are not permitted to wear protective headgear. Each participating boxer is drafted by one of a number of international franchises and can earn money by taking part in professional-style bouts. However, they maintain Olympic and AIBA world championship eligibility and remain eligible to compete at the Olympic Games.
Like professional boxing, each bout is decided by the scores of three judges or, in some cases, by a knockout, technical knockout or walk-over. A WSB meet between two international franchises consists of bouts in ten (formerly five) weight categories. There are five three-minute rounds in each bout and the team that wins the most number of bouts wins the meet.^[1]

[Tony Trick-Pony]

I've been curious why that tournament wasn't considered as pro, since they were 10 round fights, 3 minute rounds and no head gear...

Weren't they five rounds?
