LOL, get your facts straight. Amateur matches are four rounds of two minutes. If you're under 15, it's 1:30 rounds, but then again, you're not fighting 12 round pro fights before you turn 15, are you?

The reason you can have trouble scoring with bodyshots in am boxing is that to get a scoring shot, three of the five judges have to see the punch and score it within 1.2 seconds of each other. A left hook to the body can only be seen from one side, so chances that three judges score such a shot are slim.

They don't give you points for any kind of hit anymore, it has to have a certain weight behind it. You rarely score with a jab, even a stiff, hard one...

Where are you from? I'm pretty sure in the UK we fight 3 rounds ...

Denmark. That is besides the point though, because you have the same AIBA rules in the UK as we do here.

You might be fighting threerounds, but that is beginners only. Once you've had 5-10 fights, you'll definitely be fighing four rounds, as that is the standard. All championships, be it national or international are four rounds, two minutes.

in australia fighters under 17 (such as myself) fight 3x2 min rounds, or if you weigh under 46 kg , 3x1.5 min rounds. if you are in the 17-19 year old class,or the seniors class, you can also choose to box 4x2 min rounds. and you must do so in a title bout. (also, the 17-19 year old class is kind of flexible, they can box with seniors if they want to)
