I am 5-0 right now and I am on the cusp of going pro. I feel like once I know I have the solid fundamentals of my game down its time to go pro. Amateur is the feeling out process where you look to find what works for you and what does not.

Also before going pro I try to fight as many different types of people as I can. I've fought the wrestler, BJJ, and stand up type guy. I feel like I need 1 or 2 more ammys against a serious striker before I go Pro though.
