AMATEUR vs PROFESSIONAL BOXING

the two significant differences: by brian zelley



It is interesting hearing about the many differences,
but in reality there are only two main differences that should
count in the art and science of boxing.

For those boxers that only fight four round prelim fights,
there is no significant differences for the boxer.
But, when comparing a three round open senior bout vs
a ten round professional bout, then the two differences kick-in.


THE TWO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES
*The Endurance Factor, and
the Ability to take or avoid a punch.

JABS, HOOKS and CROSSES

JABS, HOOKS and CROSSES by Brian Zelley
from BC Amateur Boxing News, May 1984

The following was done in 1984, but it still has some value today in 2011.

Quote: "In order to arrive at what you are not,
you must go through the way which you are not" - T S Elliott

"If we want success in the various aspects of amateur boxing
competition, coaching or officiating, we must prepare ourselves
to enter a training program. Three basic requirements are
DESIRE, STUDY and PRACTICE.

For our long term success, this desire, study and practice
must be ongoing. In Canada, we are fortunate to have some excellent
programs to aid coaches and offici
als in their individual and
 group development and growth.

Our present programs are due to the past effort of
individuals and organizations and the ongoing support of
members of our Provincial Amateur Boxing Associations.
In British Columbia, the BCABA Executive under the
leadership of GEORGE ARMSON puts a high priority on
education in the form of clinics and competition."
