    I've been thinking about this all night, i couldn't sleep, sorry if this has been posted before

    I've been working on compiling everyone's response in emails 2 the wbc, wbo, wba, ibf and many of the smaller organizations, but I have 1 more q I wanted 2 run by you guys

    ive seen a lot of complaints about how fouls have negatively effected the outcome of a fight - see abner mares-africbeko; cotto-judah low blows, sam peters rabbit punnching

    and generally I think if the ref catches it - sure it's a good thing2 deduct a point, works fine right?

    BUT
    I think we've seen in some particularly instances where dirty fouls have completely changed the course of a fight and made it unfair - and it seems even deducting poiints is not enough

    So what I propose and will propsoe 2 the organizations in email later today is the 2 begin the debate (obviously not implement) the concept of "free shots"

    In hockey if U make a foul U get a penalty shot - 1 free shot against the goalie - nobody complaints about that?

    basketball u get free throws - who complains about that?

    football u get 2 touchdown tries but u don't see anyone *****ing about that

    why is boxing different? why not - after a particularly dirty foul - why not consider a scenario where if U are fouled against, the ref stops the action & u get 1 free punch at your opponent & the opponent can't defend

    Now I believe this wuld add a great deal of excitement and would clean up the sport at the same time - it would also add strategy because if you are about 2 get punched bc u made a penalty u could also possibly have the ability 2 duck OR bend back n counter

    1 thing that I'm not sure of is whether the ref would hold the foulee's hands behand their back during the free shot but I'm still figuring it out

    please contribute 2 this thread w/ your thoughts - i am not defensive or married 2 this idea - just want to hear any opinions, whether u support t or just agree with it

    thnx 4 your time - please try to get your responses in by 4pm ESt if u think of it - respond here & don't pm me, i get lots of messages

    This seems dangerous though, I mean really dangerous. What if Beterbiev or Kovalev get a FREE punch with the other guy defenseless?

    You do know how are boxers punch, right?

    Can you imagine if it happened more than once? There would be so many more KO's because of this. Think Mayweather/Ortiz. Also, what it the ref saw wrong and wasn't a foul at all? The other sports, their using *****, goal posts, baskets, nothing to hurt the players themselves.

    I honestly don't see them implementing this in boxing.

    Definitely not when you have punchers like Povetkin, Kovalev or Beterbiev around.

    Pure coincidence & if anything highlights that this is a disccusion that needs to happen if it's been said before - did you even vote?

    We have enough fakers as it is. What do you want to do turn this into soccer where guys are flopping all over the place and crying?

    If a professional boxer hits you when you're defenseless, it's game over. Actually, it could seriously dangerous so no, it wont ever happen.

    I voted for "yes" and now I wish I didn't, after reading the comments and thinking it through.
