So many problems with the amatuer boxing system.

Electronic scoring systems don't register all the punches.

The system also doesn't take into account whether it was the laziest jab or a thunderous hook that puts a man to the ground for an 8 count.

The judges are often old and not quick enough to register everything - especially the fast action in front. So a landed 3 punch combination my only get counted as one punch.

They should score the match like a pro bout. On which fighter showed more skill, aggression, technique. Etc.

I was doing alot of powershot type punches.The other guy was pitty pattying my arms.haha. I guess it looked good to them.

One thing the amatures is teaching you or should be after all this is that you have to stay in the gym and train hard or else it will all be for nothing when you may have a chance to do somthing as a pro.

Don't look at this as a bad thing. Look at it as another learning experiance.

Roberto Duran i remember him saying he lost his first 3 pro fights. And Librado Andrade lost 13 out of 15 amature fights.

Im interested to see your video. I know that when a ref is ****ing with you, at the momment it seems like he is lecturing you forever, then you see the video and its only for a second. You just have to fight your fight, with in the rules. I've talked back to the ref in one fight and then was told it is a bad thing to do.

Just keep training.

And when you say there is nobody in the gym to sparr with then if you're serious and your work allows you too, then go to another gym to sparr with the better fighters. Then train at your gym untill you have to sparr again.

I spar alot of pros in my gym,and the other guy from my gym that was fighting that night also,also lost. We're used to fighting pro style at the gym.So it was a huge shocker for both of us.I the later rounds I tried going wild on the inside like an amateur style fight,but that ****s hard when you gotta get by the 6'1 guys jab and all. It was fun though.

[Verstyle]

his height is killing him

Thats another thing.Ppl in the amateurs tend to be somewhat young.So they could be tall,but know grown fully in their body.Like Tommy Hearns in the amateurs,so its easy for them to make a low weight.

unlucky bro!

It's true that amateur boxing is a totally different game. You can absolutely murder someone but still lose, The best scoring punches are just simple jabs and the right cross. In 1-2 and out in 1-1-2 and out in 1-2-1-2 and out. That's what the judges like to see. That's what I've observed from novice amateur bouts. It changes as the level of competition rises such as nationals.

Like I said to that guy animail squabbs, it's good for you personally sparring with professionals and getting that experience but you need to really check out amateur bouts and videos because that's the level you're fighting at for the moment.

Anyways, good luck for the next bout bro.
