Question
If you have time to tell me step by step how to be a judge that would cool I love boxing and I'm tired of seeing poor judging. I'm trying to have an amatuer boxing career right now and jugding on the side would be sweet work. Would i be aloud to do both?
Bobby,
You have to take a class conducted by the LBC in your area. Local Boxing committee.
Once you complete the class and pass a written test, you will be certified to judge. You will start judging some novice fights to get your feet wet. Once the head official feels you are ready, you will start judging more mature fighters.
Go to goldengloves.com and send them an email for details of the LBC in your area.
good luck

Experience
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
