Instant replay on Knockdowns

When compared to a ref being fair to a fighter and making the right call, I and any other intelligent fan would give less than a shit about the flow of the fight. I would rather see a fighter that gets wrongfully dq'd for low blows get a fair shake, and boxers that claim to have slipped be shown to get knocked down. Besides, the ref could view the replay during the break between rounds. I couldn't agree with you more, I think you nailed it. Well said... :D

I understand your opinion but how is it like saying scoring should be made public? Instant replays have done wonders for other sports, eg. hockey, football. I just think boxing can also benefit from IRs. Referees and judges are nothing but interpreters. With IRs, there will b no more questions asked. It's right there on video. I just made the comment about public scoring of fights because I had this discussion before and I feel both don't belong in boxing.

yes there should be replays prolly in between rounds so no one gets a real advantage but then again who will decide if a knockdown deserves a replay? some of those refs are fully committed to knock down rulings its usually the crowd or commentators that suggest it was questionable to that ref at that moment it may have been clear as daylight that it was a kd or a slip if we make that commentators or someone tells the ref that a replay is needed we would also start getting constant "replay, it was slip" even when its a clean kd we just have to deal with bad calls Its part boxing

This question has been asked to boxers and boxing analyst many times and they even said that it wouldn't be a good thing for the sport. Boxing for the most part has always been a sport with two fighters, a ref and three judges and I think it should just stay that way. I know what you all are saying but I feel instant replay is something that doesn't belong in boxing. It's just like some people saying that scoring should be made public in boxing.

Fairness is just for fighter swho put their careers on the line every time they step foot in the ring.

Why should there be instant replay? They would have to have a timeout to see if it was knockdown or not and in boxing there is never anytime outs with the exception of lowblows and to check cuts. It would take away from the flow of the fight.

It would take away from the flow of the fight. Only when it's questionable. If a guy gets hit flush on the chin, no sense of going upstairs. I'm talking about questionability. Or the ref can call it a KD and make the count and have the instant replay between rounds, correcting the cards before they are handed in. I don't necessarily mean stopping the flow of the fight. There are ways around that.

Mic, that argument doesn't make sense. Why should there be instant replay? They would have to have a timeout to see if it was knockdown or not and in boxing there is never anytime outs with the exception of lowblows and to check cuts. It would take away from the flow of the fight.

No because then it wouldn't be boxing.
