How to improve boxing (1 idea each)

In one!!

 

If its a SD, have a sudden death round where its ONLY below the belt.

 

i love it just the way it is,,

although it would be great to make champions have to take an "away" defense in 1 out of every 3 fights perhaps?-it would make boxing have a far more global appeal.

 

i like that.

true world champions.

also that can get local fighters on the undercard. i would give great kudos to someone who defended in ghana for example.

 

yep,imagine some of the "big names" we could get fighting in less-fought countries,inspirational for any undercard fighter.

travelling champions!-(prise them out of germany)-(lol)

 

or plonk them into germany if they havnt paid a visit.


anyone thinking of odd numbered rounds?
5 rounds
7 rounds
9 rounds
11 rounds
13 rounds

or maybe the other way round. with 3 rounds enstead...this gives amatuers a stepping stone into the pro ranks.

it just seems so puzzling to have a equal amount of rounds...more chance of a draw. and stops bickering?

 

Restrict promoters ability to take options on opponents as a condition of them accepting a fight with said promoters boxer.
A promoter can sign a fighter to a promotional deal or not. Do not make it contingent on beating the house fighter.

Case in point: Breidis Prescott

 

Have an internationally approved committee affiliated with every government that permits the sport in their country!

 

Getting rid of the promoters is a great idea... doing business the way that RJ Jnr and JC did business was great... a few txt msgs and phone calls and the promoters were out of it..fight on with all th egreenbacks going to the fighters...:happy

I think that having the weigh in's at lunchtime on the day of the fight should come back... none of this day before the fight...as most put 7-11lb on... it would make it more of a level playing field for conditioning and having to do the weight proper...:good

 

no late replacements.

as a boxing fan i dont want that as an excuse for a losing boxer...i want as level a playing field as possible.

 

Announce the full bill at least 6 weeks in advance, no more of this last minute confirmations of opponents or postponements etc.

 

Put Hatton, De la Hoya, Khan, Limond, McCloskey, Witter, et al in a prize fighter bill. That would be sweet.

 

force boxers to fight at their natural weight by having same day weigh-in's and ensuring they are safely hydrated.

 

And sort out the ratings system so fighters who have done nothing to deserve a title fight dont get them.
