    Can we keep the anthems (I like them) but lose the ugy blokes? Seems a decent compromise to me?

    Oh - stop interviewing trainers DURING the fight. They clearly don't want to speak to you while their fighter is actually in the ring.

    And show the ring card girls if cornermen are speaking foreign.

    No, good shout though.

    They was a couple of random old blokes sitting at ringside pulling strange faces.

    Dean Powell also needs to be taken away from the corner.

    So much agreement here. It bugs me how he tries to take over a corner and tries to be the voice in the corner when he IS NOT the fighters trainer. Either shut the **** up and hold the spit bucket or go and sit down elsewhere.

    Also commentators talking when I'm trying to hear what the corner is saying to the fighter. Commentators should be like the fighters and take a rest at the bell!

    Simple, no ad breaks between rounds.

    How about abolishing repeatedly saying "We apologize for the language" when a cornerman swears at a boxer at half 11 at night?

    Another tradition I'd like to see scrapped is fighters having to talk at press conferences. I'd be happy if they didn't talk. And by fighters, I solely mean Amir Khan

    The phrase "full blooded shots" should be barred from sky.

    If a clear robbery has happened, the board can overturn and fully suspend any corrupted officials indefinately.

    khan was great at the post fight press conference with mcloskey: "listen to the champ"
    Gonna have to disagree.


    I would like Haye to attend every Klitschko press conference.
