here's an idea. Each corner should be given one time bonus card that can be used between any round. all you do if tell the ref that you wish to use yours now and an extra min is added between that round.
Obviously the opponent benefits from this too but it's an extra mins rest/recovery for someone in distress.
A good example would be khan v garcia after he was knocked down. He could have played it after that round and then come out 1 min later.
whadddyaaa think?
This rule would benefit points boxers and not ko fighters. There's already enough changes in the game, subtle and otherwise, that benefit points boxers. A big NO from me.
I think its a bad idea, you know itll be saved for when their fighter is hurt
However, i think little changes might help. One idea could be to extend the time in between the 6th and 7th round to 2 minutes (or 5th round for 10rd matches, 4th for 8 etc)
Saying that though, i dont think theres a need for any real changes. Cutting down 15 rounds to 12 became necessary for the wellbeing of boxers, especially at the top.
Fighters should also have the option to make their opponents wear weight vests for one round to slow them down. This would've helped Pac against Mayweather.
*sarcasm off*
Allowing fighters a one minute timeout during the round is a pathetic idea. However, allowing each fighter to take an extra one minute break, in between a round is not such a bad idea.
Awful idea. Letting fighters or cornermen call a 'timeout' would disrupt the flow and tempo of the fight and might cause fighters to take more punishment. If a fighter is taking a beating and you give him extra time to recover then it is possible that the fighter will be able to withstand more punishment than if the fight played out naturally. It's a safety issue for me and I say "no"
did the gun jam when you tried to kill yourself after matthysse postol?
i thought you'd be dead for sure.
F*cking gun control in the UK meant I couldn't get my hands on one, and just like Matthysse I was too much of a chicken to do it any other way.
I don't like the idea. I don't see any need for it. Sometimes a boxer waits all fight to get his rival in trouble and set him up for a KO. Then his rival takes a time out to get out of trouble? I don't like that at all.
That's the dumbest idea ever. Why do you not want to to see decisive stoppages?

Next thing u know there will be ppl saying lets have a time out allowed in the middle of a round too. A guy gets knocked down and his corner can choose to use the time out now or save it for later. Lol nah bruh.....
