Are pro boxers better than amateur ones?

Best Answers

Before, pro boxing and amateur boxing were very different. Before in Amateur boxing point was given to a clean punch in the legal area, which had its own issues like a lot of clean hits going unnoticed. In pro boxing they have 10 points per round rule. The winner gets 10 points and the loser gets 9 points. read more

the obvious ones are that elite amatuer boxers dont fight over 12 rounds. then you have that amateur boxing is based on"scoring shots" rather than"hurtful shots", so a lot of amateur boxers (not all, but most) get into the habit of using fast"pitter patter" combinations instead of throwing punches with any spite. read more

pro boxers needs more toughness to succeed compared to amateurs. a shaky chin boxer has a higher chance of success at amateur than in pro boxing while a less technical/skilled fighter can have a more chance to be successful at pro than on amateur. of course this is only my opinion and feel free to disprove them. read more

In pro boxing, the size of the ring can vary. The boxer can hit his opponent above the belt, but the hit must land on the side or front of the head or body. Amateur rings can be no smaller than 16 by 16 feet and no larger than 20 by 20 feet. read more
