boxing is not just about stand toe to toe and see who can knock who out first! This is a art and i enjoyed the woods tarver fight a great bisplay of boxing skills by magic man!

pffffff what Tarver does is not talent, he is such a joke is TERRIBLE for boxing.

No way they should fight anything less than 15rds. 1 of the main problems in boxing is ****** ass fans saying boxing is dead & those who disrespect fighters accomplishments.

After staying up to watch one of the ****test fights of the year last night [woods V tarver] , I now think boxing has had its day and will die out in the near future. there is only a few ways of saving itself and heres how.

How to save boxing:
1. DISBAND the WBO [ the WBO is an absolute ****ing joke of an organistaion and should have never been set up]
2. BAN clinching it appears every fighter who is in trouble clinches to the opponent even if its for the rest of the fight.
3. Make a champion have only 1 opponent he can choose in a certain time period.
4. Make all title fights 10 rounds instead of 12. Twelve rounds is bad if its a crap fight theres nothing worse.
5. Change the weight of the gloves make them heavier or lighter I dont care because its a reason for making fighters tired after the last few rounds
6. There should be 5 judges not 3 because of the amount of terrible decisions.

Any one agree or disagree

You don't think five judges will still make bad decisions? If that's the case, why not 15 judges? No offense, but most of your other ideas are even worse.

Glad I didn't watch the Woods Tarver fight, seen some clips and am really disapointed Woods couldn't raise his game, very Hatton esk imo.

1. Would like to see less belts and organisations.
2. Not ban, but punish clinching more.
3. Less choice for fighters is a good thing.
4. 10 rounds is not enough, turn off if your bored. 15 too many, last few rounds is where injuries happen. 11 or 13.
5. Leave the glothes, if anything lighter.
6. Def 5 judges, and foreign ones imposed per Football and others.

This would simplify the un necessary complexity of boxing atm, with so many variables, comparisons, and rows of whoms best. Would only improve the sport and the numbers watching and being involved with it.

no anything above super mid is a joke tbh

Well i agreee that the sport would improve alot more if the promoters didnt have such a part in choosing fights. I cant think of any other sports where this sort of style match up happens?
I thinking clinching isnt exactly allowed?? But i dotn blame them you must have seen fighters do this recover and put the guy down?
I think 12 Rnds is a suitable amount. I think other parts/ rule changes could stop boring fights Williams A Force the biggest waste of and hour or whatever it was..... i ******ly thought it would be exciting, maybe i was a sucker for the hype!?
