It's good that he is still involved in the sport. Vinny Pazienza was a great a boxing showman and is underrated. Check out the above link that shows two amatuer fights of his against the Russians. One of them he gets robbed pretty bad in. I think it was after this fight that he decided to turn pro.

I don't remember the last time I saw an amatuer fight as entertaining as the one Pazienza gets robbed in. He showed some great boxing skills in that fight.
