You Have Three Wishes - Wish Away!

1.No discussion about size of the ring - always and everywhere the same size.
2.Referee can watch a replay - something like in ice-hockey.
3.One world champ belt in every division.
Only 3 wishes? Damn! If so then at least I think all three have to come true:good.

 

Regarding your second wish, I would say that they should have a panel of three guys that review every call throughout the fight as it happens. Then, in the event that there is CLEAR AND CONFIRMED EVIDENCE (as in ice-hockey) to the contrary of the official real-time call, they can overturn it. I think it would be too much for the referee to have to watch reviews between the round. I mean, sometimes you have to watch the thing five or more times to be sure.

 

Of course, of course.

 

My three:

1. One promotion company
2. One organization, so one belt

We would see far more top fights this way, fighters wouldn't be able to manipulate their way around the rankings and become the #1 without facing the best, or pick up a 'world title' without facing the best either. And we wouldn't have as many promotional disputes preventing fights either.

And of course number 3, Mayweather vs Pacquiao.

 

They could always make a bigger breaks between round :hey but honestly I wouldn't wish that. Well, my main purpose of that wish was for situations like 'if there was a knockdown or not' or 'is the cut because of a punch or a foul'. It's about situations that are now but it also could be used beetween rounds, why not? When for example X complains that Y fouls him all the time but he does it so smartly that the referee doesn't see it 'live' so he can check this out during a break and after that give -1 point for Y :hi:.

 

1) One governing body for the sport (like FIFA with football / soccer) - this would mean one belt per weight division, also universal regulations and one set of rankings per division
2) Title fights 15 rounds and never at a 'catchweight'
3) TV and internet coverage that is up to date with the times (I have to rely on on torrents and youtube most of the time)

 

Oh, ya, I mean, I absolutely agree that we should be using replays. I was just thinking maybe the referee isn't the guy who should do the reviewing since there's such a short time between rounds and the referee often has other things to be doing.

 

1) Boxing (amateur, of course, with head guard) in high school and college
2) Boxing on network television
3) Boxing Channel (much like the Golf Channel, Tennis channel, Speed Channel, etc.)

 

1. Rounds: 15 Rounds for title fights
2. Weight Classes: Less classes - Catchweights not allowed!!!
3. May vs. Pac

 

Well, we have the Fight Network, but it has a lot of MMA on it, which I'm not crazy about on the low level.

 

1. One belt per division
2. No Catch weights
3. Klitschko vs. Klitschko

 

1) One title for every division
2) Fewer divisions, e.g. Feather, Light, Middle, Light Heavy, Heavy
3) Same terms for anyone ( ring size, rules inside the ring, etc. maybe even the money has to be unitized

 

1. One Champ per division.
2. A "Super Bowl Weekend" style event. One day a year, 3-4 title fights. Same weekend every year.
3. Harold Lederman and the old drunk guy go away.
