Ever wonder what the difference is between amateur and professional boxing, they both are based on a similar platform but have many variations between the two, here's my take!!
I really hate the amateur style, and wearing the headgear. Also the gloves are not only bigger, but the padding is so front loaded on the knuckles. I honestly find it very hard to get any feedback from them. sometimes my trainer tells me in the corner that I landed a hard shot but I didn't even realize it
Hey Coach V. I love your videos. I want to start my amateur boxing career. The province in Canada I live in, Alberta, doesn’t have the best boxing competition when compared to Quebec, Ontario and BC. Should I stay here first and smoke the amateurs and continue on somewhere else or should I be looking for the best competition and relocate to a different part of the country
as much as a fan of pro boxing i am, i gotta be honest & say that amateur boxing is so much more competitive. love watching both but amateur bouts are almost always wars lol
At 3:18 You left out “defense” Coach. It’s four criteria. It also don’t help that they make it difficult to find those criteria, as well as all four of them aren’t clearly defined. Landing clean punches is clear enough, it scores points. Defense aka stopping opponents from doing that, is also clear. Ring Generalship is vague to most not involved in the sport. Effective Aggression is defined.
@@k-dogg9086 Nah he really only left out defense. The matter was about scoring criteria. There is no “what anyone is concerned” there’s only the factual scoring criteria.
@@k-dogg9086 “Going for the ko” isn’t apart of the scoring criteria so that’s an irrelevant question. Unless you meant to ask “what if someone knocks out their opponent?” At which case they win. Yet that changes nothing about the *scoring criteria.* Which is the point here.
Cant wait for your live stream Q and A. I think you're capable of starting a skype special lessons. (and charging, of course) Imagine casting us, or yourself on a big screen for an hour at our gym. I'd pay you $200.00 at least. Edit again: You know, like motivational speech and philosophical things related.
I'm -4.5 and -3.5. I used to train MMA 6years ago. Had to stop because the eyes were getting worse. The depth perception is a problem really. I could see the punch coming but It was really hard to judge the distance. Anyway I'm planning to save money for a PRK eye surgery which is specific for Athletes. Plus there is always high risk of retinal detachment for people with short sight even after the surgery. So there's that.
@@lukas9065 Trust me man I understand you. I have the same situation. I competed in MMA with -3.5. I was really skilled and passionate but like I said it's just not possible to compete with blurry vision. Unnecessary damage to the head and it's not even your fault you know. I'd suggest don't go to a boxing gym without a surgery if you're intentions are to compete at the top level but if it's only for fitness and learning the art sure go ahead.

You probably don’t hit very hard. How much do you weigh? I’m 200 pounds and when I’m boxing if I hit my opponent cleanly, they are done.
@@itguru2037 ikr how do you not feel a hard punch when it lands
This Chanel is amazing with its advice for life and boxing experience ❤ boxing saves lives
Thanks Coach V. Very much appreciated. Look forward to your title fight.👍
From the little I've seen of Amatuer boxing matches on TH-cam, I do enjoy the straight to the hits.
Stick with amateurs and pass on the pros.
one of my favorite videos on the channel keep em up.
Thanks for the video bro.
Anytime Champ, feel free to leave video ideas in the comment section!!

He left out a lot. As far as I'm concerned.

@@ritzkola2302 oh.. So no one goes for the ko?? And if you did, then what??

@@ritzkola2302 then you've answered my query. Thanks mate.

Do you need good eye sight to be a pro boxer? My eyes are like a -2.5. -3.0
Same bro I see double cuz I got broke a nerve

@@lupus4687 I’m not sure I’m like -3.5 in both eyes or so I am short sighted and I want to pursue my career in boxing
