    2 things for certain on fox sports--- you will hear
    this young man is an absolute gentleman outside the ring a real good kid
    ---and you will see
    boxers who loose there footing on sponsers signs
    i have ben watching this happen for years now
    how hard is it to see there is a problem with water and signs underfoot
    one day someone will destroy a knee and end a career
    dont want to be negative but the ufc seems so much better thought out
    they must have watched boxing and used it as a template for all that is wrong in organised combat sports
    maybe ufc will be corrupt beyond saving one day for now it seems to be getting it right
    i will still tune in to boxing , like i would always watch mike tyson just in case he got it right again and sparked someone out like the good old days, who is controlling boxing anyway someone must be accountable for boxers having to take off there boots to fight

    Signage is usually put in the canvas but expensive.Putting stick on signs is cheap but not any good for traction just greed to use stick ons

    The sport needs to be regulated by the federal goverment, not by individual states that are nothing more than a boys club. This OH&S issue has been going on for ages and blantantly ignored for yrs. Sadly no one seems to give a fck when it comes to the sport of boxing. UFC isnt much better when its nothing more than a monopoly sport where the best fighters dont get a chance to fight the UFC champions.

    Never understood how these people obtain these positions when they have no relevant qualifications or experiance in the sport. How can we expect any improvment in the sport when the people running the show have never competed in it or been involved with the sport. imo she wont last very long.

    I think Vic legislation disallows appointments ouside PS sector. Same applied in NSW until amendment created "Project Officer" which allowed Craig Waller's appointment. Can't remember Dave Moreland's title.
