New rules in Boxing!

I would go back to old rules. Weigh in the morning of the fight. Go back to fifteen round championship bouts.

 

Bring back the standing 8 count. Some fights are stopped a little too soon. A lot of fighters can recover pretty quickly. One fight that comes to mind is the Calzaghe-Manfredo fight. Also some fighters don't have the smarts to take a knee in the heat of battle.

 

The thing that Manfredo would have had to recover from was being woefully outclassed and, as he hasn't done that in the subsequent two years, I doubt 8 seconds would have helped...

 

Unenforceable.

"Oh, I'm sorry Mr Cotto, but you've only weighed in at 146lbs, so you're not eligable to take part in this welterweight fight...."

 

How about we just don't make ridiculous fights like that in the first place?

 

Go back to 15 rounds for championships.

1 division 1 title.

Back to the original 8 weight classes, but reorganized due to today's bigger men.

"Sudden death" round in case of a draw.

 

In between rounds only chief seconds and cutmen allowed in the ring. Why is it that the burgandy coat morons can't get out of the ring in time. If they are going to be allowed in the ring then they should exit when they hear the 10 second warning. Most of the time the ref has to wait on them to exit and up to 10 seconds are lost in the round.

 

Amen.:good
