Boxer's end up in a skating ring.

Absolute joke. Not being able to use 75% of the ring safely. Amateur hour. Aussie boxing is looking like a joke lately. What a **** card too should have sticked too watching the ****wits on American Idol.

 

Both fighters finished with their boots off - for ****'s sake atsch

Absolute disgrace. Amateur hour is being far too kind atsch

 

It ruined last night's card, what a disgrace

 

There is sign writing paint specifically for this purpose that i know promoters use, that has grip and is safe, and that can be sign written to an excellent finish and effect. This attempt or non-attempt is just amateur.

 

Bring back resin trays. That's the only reason downed boxer needs to have gloves wiped. Unsure why refs still do it?

 

..advertising on the ring canvas has been the one of the biggest safety issues in boxing for years..long overdue that it should be banned outright..

 

Do that & promoters will need to increase admission. They just need to make sure appropriate paint is used & whoever supplies the ring must also supply resin tray in each corner.
I believe stick-on logo was used. Such is technology these days I guess, but one that needs ditching.
If it causes boxers or ref serious injury, promoter could have serious legal issues.

 

simple fix..do a risk assessment..
..then we'll be back to a barearse canvas..something that a fighter can dig into..
..they're just gunna have to find advertising space else where..time to put the fighters OH&S first..

 

In my days with Ringside Promotions in Adelaide @ ABCOS Stadium, I can only recall one occasion & only one boxer with problems & that was due to his much loved old & worn boots. Problem was short lived as we had resin tray in his corner.

 

They have advertising on the ring mat in all the big fights in the USA and its never been a problem, the people who apply it in Australia must just be ******s...

 

Maybe they never heard of Anti Slip Coating? Councils know all about it. They use it on pedestrian crossings

 

Aussie boxing is just ******ed in general, always something stupid happening...

 

with the ufc coming in planning 2 big shows in australia..the time for them to strike is perfect..aussie boxing has been ko'd thanks to khoder and Sonny boy williams and the barefoot boxoff coz of the promo was just another kick in the guts which we didnt need,
something has to change in oz boxing, wether it be how fox presents the cards and has more off a say, have a yearly super tournement could bring some excitement and ratings back i believe

 

In boxing, something stupid or humerus happens all over the world..
Most humerus to date was in Fiji, where a boxer, busting for a ****, jumped the ropes after a round & made a run for it. Unfortunately, he had to unload more than he thought & never made it back in time to answer the bell for next round.
