Kev Lerena had non apparently

I am not sure Sor Rungvisai had any amateur boxing matches, though he did do some kickboxing

A lot of Mexicans had limited amateur careers. Luis Nery had only 9 fights for example, but hard to find guys with literally no am fights.

Gavin McDonnell only had like 5. Whyte only had 6 I think, but did lots of kickboxing. Similar to Miller, who was reportedly 10-1 but lots of kickboxing. Makabu only had 12, Davvid Benavidez 15, Farmer 16, Gassiev 20-25

They both had amateur careers, boxrec am records are mostly incomplete and mostly based on international and national level competition. i see Mell listed at 56-8 and his bro at 65-6 and have seen amateur footage of them. Mall lost that to some white boi

Though many ''reported' am records are inflated with wins and docked on losses

I think Srisaket Sor Rungvisai went straight from Thai-boxing to pro-boxing.
