    And some champions fighting now could well have been thrown out of the ring for not trying in recent years had attitudes been different.

    A couple that spring to mind would be Carl Frampton Vs Scott Quigg, and David Haye Vs Audley Harrion

    Haye vs Harrison looked a bit suspect, I'll give you that.

    Frampton vs Quigg was a pretty poor fight, but I don't remember anyone saying, that they should both have been disqualified for not giving their best.

    Anyway, this pales in comparison with the hundreds and hundreds of fights back in the 1920s, where both boxers were booted for not even trying!

    It is 2021 not 1991, that battle was long since lost. It is like asking for 20 rounders in the 80s...


    Let us concentrate on making sure 12 rounders are available for the elite.


    I am with Janitor, safety should be the priority.
