No, you are wrong. There's also a purple towel, which can cancel the black towel. So if a fighter is getting knocked out in the 12 and his team throws s black towel at the ref, another team can throw a purple towel at the ref and cancel the black towel.
I say both sides throw a towel in at the end of the of every round. Then at the end of the 6th round you have stripper poles drop into the ring and the ring card girls do a dance and have water splashed on them. The bell rings signifying the beginning of the 7th round but instead of fighting You have each fighter with his gloves on grab the towels from the ring and the fighter who dries off the ring card girl first wins the round.
How about forgetting the towel idea. Give the fighters a word or phrase and if he says it then the action must stop. For example. a fighter (Joshua) is losing badly and in danger of being hurt ko/d.....then he can just scream GET THIS FAT GUY OFF ME HE IS KICKING MY ASS.....then the action has to stop. If not.....the fat guy (RUIZ) will have points taken away...or be disqualified. Or it could be simpler......the fighter that is being hurt/ko'd.....can simply scream.......MAMA, HELP.....and then he gets a break. Or maybe give each fighter a card that he would keep in his glove.....if he gets in trouble...just pull out the card and give it to the ref.
Thatll make boxing more like quidditch and will start to attract more harry potter fans to the sport. I like it.
Ive always thought that the cornermen should be allowed to flick the oppsing fighter with a towel if they get too close to the corner. Getting flicked with a towel really stings and will defo stop fighters running and not engaging.
Or throw the towel over the opponent's face and hold them in place while their man goes to work comedy punching their midsection.
No, part of the fun in boxing is that it can end/change at any minute. This sounds like a get out of jail free card.
