    Anyone else ever wonder about this?

    If a fight's being held outdoors, like the Margarito/Williams fight, and it starts raining, what do they do? Do they keep right on boxing?Do they stop till the rain stops?

    Anyone know?

          In case of rain, the Nevada Athletic Commission would require the fighters to wear rain jackets and for the ref to hold an umbrella over them….

                Thatd be funny as hell to see.
