Fighters are now crying about what legal gloves their opponent can wear. About what tests they have to take. All in the name of safety. Um, last I checked, this is a combat sport, where you are going to get hit. If these guys are so worried about getting hit, they shouldn't be in combat sports at all. With that said, is the flag boxing era upon us? What does that mean?
Well, since more and more fighters are concerned about getting hit, how about, they both wear velcro suits and helmets, then, in order to score, you pin these on each other.

Lets be real, we don't want anyone to get hurt in the "fight game". So lets just make it as safe as possible and just start playing "pin the flag on the boxer".
Now, lets just come up with some rules. The most obvious being, if after each round, whoever has the most flags pinned on their opponent wins the round. But how do we score knockouts?

:nonono: You've gone full retard here.
You know what's funny ,you all will still watch Floyds next fight regardless if you love or hate him. Hater's gonna Hate its the price of success.
Oh I'll still watch - only the replays not the live show. I have a problem paying now that I know they're controlling the glove size/padding to disadvantage fighters with decent power. Its more incentive than ever to be more into mma - ufc, and pay for those instead of boxing. What ounce gloves do they use 3?
Quit crying because you're favorite fighter is the eras biggest sissy. I've fought many times, without gloves, for free. Being in the ring is a controlled environment and floyd wants to control every aspect of his fights, including what gloves his opponents wear. That doesn't sound like an even playing field to me when the opponent can't use the commissioned gloves that he likes. Floyds the biggest b1tch in boxing and everyone except you semen slurpers knows it.
If I knew this before I ordered the fight I'd never lay out $75 - never doing it again. What a f*cking coward thing to do. Have they done this for all Floyd's opponents or only the ones who can punch??? Major black eye to boxing!
How about both fighters just suit up like regular boxers but instead of throwing punches to one another they just play PS4 with red corner fighting the character of blue corner and vise versa. But in the same ring ok?
I was going to say the belt line was kind of low on the body suit. But if you think abobut it, now we CAN be certain if the attack was low or not, the Velcro doesn't lie.:lol1:
Excellent observation. Your comment will be duly noted for the ruling commission. Great idea.
you are an idiot.
so because its a combat sport fighters shouldnt care about their health? you agree to be a boxer you agree to get permanently hurt and nobody should even try to decrease the chances?
its because boxing is so dangerous we need to be careful, yes people will get hurt but again thats why we need to do our best to make the chances that will happen as slim as possible.
checking and clearing your opponents gloves go way back and its not at all uncommon for a fighter to refuse to allow their opponent to wear a certain pair. its only headline news because floyd was involved and people as usual are looking for a new way to criticize him.
there isnt even any downside to testing, its just obviously good for everyone so i wont even comment further on that. only a complete moron would have anything bad to say about the idea of improving the drug testing in the sport, in any sport for that matter.
as for getting hit, the name of the game is to hit and not get hit. your basically saying the chicago bulls are so focused on defense why do we even have baskets? if they are so afraid to let their opponents score we should just put a lid on it and let the players just run around the court without a purpose.
defending is part of the sport, both sports. at the end of the day your opponents will score, baskets as well as punches. thats no reason to stop defending.
basketball players dont get hit in the head though. at the end of the day its the fighters lives, they are the ones who have to live with the consequences of their careers. if they want to have a safety first style thats their choice, just like if they want to box from a southpaw stance or throw a lot of body shots. you dont have to like their style but you have to accept that its their choice and boxing wouldnt be boxing without all these different styles.
you should get in the ring yourself and stop being a coward. if you are going to criticize people to this degree you need to know what you are taliing about or just keep your uneducated mouth shut.

It'll end up like fencing with the Jab being the only punch allowed.
First fighter to land 3 clean jabs on their heavily padded opponent wins.
En Garde!
I would definitely put my kids in that sport!!!

The sport is about hurting your opponent.
RED K SENT.
But, but, but,
I want 30 million guaranteed every time I fight!!!
How am I going to fight for another 30 million if my precious BVLL**** gets exposed and I have to actually punch someone to win!
If you ask me, all boxers should wear headgear and full body armor, we want our money without the risks.
Boxers need to form a UNION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am Boxing!
Health comes first!

This is what boxing will be like by the time Floyd retires:

Someone embed that. There's also one with Vitor Belfort. Someone should try to find it.

I told my boss my working conditions suck because i'm more likely to develop chronic illness sitting down from 9-5. Get it, everything has consequences and if these guys don't like the consequences then choose another sport.
Its disgusting to see that entitled attitude in some of the guys coming up. We have the direll brothers who feel entitled to pitty pat and run around the ring and fold at the first sign of a war, we have andre direll who feels entitled to fight in oakland even though simple economics suggests its a bad idea, broner who feels entitled to floyds status and popularity even though he hasn't put in 1/4 of the work.
