    Okay, so football, soccer, basketball and tennis most sports use the ability of replays if needed to make the right call! So why can't boxing? Why is it that a cut has to be called by the ref, why can't we go back and see if its a punch or headbutt? Fight gets stopped by a body shot the replay shows a low blow, so we go with the low blow because that's what happened! But, as boxing fans we are force to take a bad call when we can clearly see that it was an awful call? Why with the ability of instant replay's are we force to see bad stoppages over and over again! Afraid the powers that be will not allow this?

    Great call. Also knockdowns that are clearly not legit like the 1st one in Whyte v Parker

    Remember how FIFA prevented it from happening for decades before they finally implemented it? Boxing loses a lot of control over the outcome when they use replays. There's a reason why these situations end up in favor of the A-side/home fighter 9 out of 10 times.

    I would love for ot to happen though.
