    Nah, we can allow biased fans. We just can let our bias turn us into crying dummies that can't think objectively.

    Not in our new and improved boxing, in boxing 2.0 you don't even need to train any longer to be a ATG.

    So, let's see. In modern boxing, throwing punches is a no-no, training is out. What's next, no ring?

    I have another intelligent proposal to make.

    We should also ban boxers from being able to hold their hands up by their heads. All defence now should involve holding your chin in the air, just like a bar room brawler who has mistakingly stumbled into a boxing ring by mistake.

    They should call it Ortiz Time.

    The one in penalty has to put their hand out as if to shake hands or hug, and the opponent can throw whatever punch they want.

    probably happen eventually. headgear, huge pillow gloves and a set number of punches allowed. all brit sports have been sissified since day one. now Hockey is becoming no check and Football will be flag within five to ten years.

    Wont be necessary, in the future all boxing even championship fights will be done on tablets or iphones. So no ring needed unless you just want to keep it around for nostalgia purposes.

    Greasy Edward Hearn wanted this as a clause in the Wilder-Joshua contract.

    Well the ring is not exactly necessary, but it would be nice to keep it around to keep things authentic. Maybe have a ref in there as well just for old times sakes.

    You’ve heard a boxing match called a chess match right? Well is the punching really necessary? Does it change the outcome of the fight? Do the they make the match more exciting? Absolutely not.

    Some fighters have a fight already won or lost before a punch is even thrown. So why throw them?
