The only way to save the sport. Mandatory drug test-olympic style Mandatory fights to retain belts Qualify judges paid by the commission New rules and regulations among boxers and promoters. either this happen or boxing will become a real circus.
Boxing is already a circus. The way the 10 point must system is applied needs to be changed also. The problem stems that a KD is a one point deduction so short of a KD judges almost always award 10/9 regardless of how lopsided the round was.
It would be so cool to see boxing evolve one more time. It's long overdue since the Queensberry rules and even since all the alphabet belts came into rotation :verysad
Too many rules ruined sport. Olympic boxing too, it's now a joke due to scoring system they installed due to what was considered a bad decision against Roy ones. Who can stand to watch it now? Pro boxing has two different scoring systems. Be nice if they had only one. Best was old New York system: by rounds, but if judges felt overall a fighter lost 6-4, or even 7-3, but in rounds he won he dominated by wide margins, they could give him decisions. It was actually a system that worked. Naturally, they got rid of it. Everyone wants to tinker with sport. I say leave it alone, and if a bad decision happens, accept it. ****, people are freaking out over losses even if decision is not controversial. Look at Pac Bradley, a great deal of posters (not me) think Bradley won. I don't see how, but they do. Does it mean Arum bribed them? Are they corrupt? Fans don't need a commissioner, they need to commission own selves. Quit paying $50 dollars for any pay-per-view that comes along, that will send stronger message than any commission can.
The sport has too many problems to name . It's a mess , there needs to be some unified / universal system , with a complete rehauling of belts / weight divisions / drug testing / scoring / judging / everything.
yeah...that's what we need....the same ppl who screwed up our country to take over boxing. pffft. no thank u.
