The will debut the use of instant replay in boxing tomorrow for the first time during the Joseph Agbecko vs Yhonny Perez fight. It will be use to determine if cuts were caused by accidental headbut or punch, if punches were landed before the bell, low blows etc.
I actually think this is a good Idea as long as it is done between rounds so not to disrupt the fight. Maybe its one step towards getting rid of alot of bullshit deductions in boxing.

not only that but when ref don't see the knock downs as well.
For example when Judah dropped Floyd
Well think about how quickly they are able to go to highlights in between rounds (slow motion HBO highlights). Those highlights in between certain rounds shows me how quick HBO or Showtime is able to get to a certain part of the round for discussion.
Also they could even have person who's sole job is to review certain things while the fight is going on and just relay the message to the refs when the round is up. Then the ref can go to the fighter before the next round and indicate if he will be deducted a point or not.
