    Packed boxing gyms

    Real trainers, not towel carriers

    Old school style short boxing trunks

    Same day weigh ins

    15 rounders for championship bouts
    (or at least 13 rounds. Harder to get a draw result)

    Light colored trunks vs. Dark colored trunks

    my NAME!

    No more stupid ass 10 point must system.
    It's a F!n joke. No one can EVER get a5 point round let alone less. A ref would be black balled forever if someone got that beat in a single round.


    Everything else that I would do would be new or
    improved. Like 2 day weight in's. Day before and day of. With license revoking for major draining right before. (that is what causes deaths)

    Introduce structured ladder system.
    No more WHO am I gonna make the most money off off. Just WHO deserves it the most.
    And no ducking.

    Hard to agree with the 15 round fights if you think the studies are true that after 12 rounds, chances of getting brain damage gets much higher.

    Boxing matches on free tv would be awesome

    Cornermen being able to run in and attack the other boxer with bottles, an armed sheriff refereeing the fight, and more fights held on river barges.
