Blue guy had terrible defense and he wasn’t even doing the basics. Always keep your hands up, never drop them. And he only does heavy shots, never controlling the distance. Hopkins obviously is more experienced and the more experienced would usually win.
Headgear was traditionally worn in amateur boxing in the USA and many other countries to provide some protection to the boxers, particularly to reduce the risk of head injuries, including concussions. The primary aim was to increase safety in amateur boxing competitions, especially for younger and less experienced boxers. However, in recent years, there has been a shift in some amateur boxing organizations, including USA Boxing, towards eliminating the mandatory use of headgear for male boxers in certain age and experience categories. This change was based on studies suggesting that headgear may not offer as much protection against concussions as previously thought and that it might even increase the risk of certain types of injuries, such as cuts and bruises. It's important to note that headgear is still used in some youth and novice divisions to protect less experienced boxers. The use of headgear continues to be a topic of debate within the boxing community, and different organizations may have varying rules and regulations regarding its usage.
I'd imagine the amateur weight classes are universal state to state? If so, what's this weight class: light heavyweight? And what's their range: 175-185?
Good question, It’s a National USA boxing thing. Rule Book, Page 13 assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blteb7d012fc7ebef7f/bltb6556dbc7189fad8/6490c74c50d8eda4a12f2927/Rulebook_Revison_pg_corrected_123121.pdf
Thats inspiring to win at that age cause most people that are in the ameaturs are very young congrats to him
That's a good point I'm only 18
Absolutely beautiful fight. Fantastic job. Hard to believe this is novice class with this skill level, I have a long way to go.
Hopkins was landing mad hesdshots and had better head movement, Lara was applying pressure with body shots but, no head movement.

A couple of really good amateur fighters.
Can someone tell me how does that headgear help? I just don’t think it covers any hits but the sides

you can make the fight soft using a defender like a mummy and grude form all sides defend forward and back to make him pay for his overused brutality
