Style best for amateur?
Just wondering which pro boxers style is best suited for the amateurs. I have another fight in May and i want to know which style is best suited. For example someone like joe calzaghe constant punches. Give me your opinion plz.

Winky Wright cos of his good defence means opponents won't score many points. -
hmmm not sure its all about work rate , defense and counter punching and power shots imoComment

high punch-rate, fast combination punchers who are better at slipping than blocking, and who prefer darting in and out as opposed to staying on the inside.Comment

I have spoke to a couple of pros that i met over the years and even before i started boxing and most said Any style that throws alot of punches, and a in shape fighter that throws lots of punches will most likly win in amateur fightsComment

Look up some amataur fights on youtube instead, that'll give you a much better idea.
Demetrius Andrade vs. Non Boomjumnong 69kg world championship final:
Guillermo Rigondeux from Cuba (PBF eat your heart out! :P) :
Amir Khan vs. Mario Kindelan:

Hey, I have a question about this too. So instead of opening a new thread I'll just post it here:
I'm about 178cm and weigh 65k so I'm kinda tall for my weight I guess. (I'm 16 years old so I'll probably get a bit over 180cm and around 70kg)
Is there any specific fighter that I should watch? I was thinking Thomas Hearns but I don't really see any pattern in his style.
Also I've noticed many different stances, like Joe Louis' having left hand forward alot for parrying. Or PBF hiding right hand behind elbow when taking shots. Are there any certain stances that would be best for me?
Thanks in advance!Comment
