a ton. The rules are different. Its judged differently (strikes landed vs rounds won.) How pay works is different (Pro is negotiated vs amateur is winners purse.) The number of rounds are different (3 vs 12.) And that well before we get into the quality aspect. A pro fighter is licensed. Anyone off the street can be an amateur boxer. For instance epic meal time guy this is his 2nd amateur bout. A 0-0 pro could have dozens of amateur bouts. Theyre barely the same thing. With the way scoring works and the number of rounds amateur boxing is by design fast and frantic. Pro boxing is calculated and deliberate. Butts in seats are irrelevant as are pay days.
