I understand your opinion but how is it like saying scoring should be made public? Instant replays have done wonders for other sports, eg. hockey, football. I just think boxing can also benefit from IRs. Referees and judges are nothing but interpreters. With IRs, there will b no more questions asked. It's right there on video.
I just made the comment about public scoring of fights because I had this discussion before and I feel both don't belong in boxing.
When compared to a ref being fair to a fighter and making the right call, I and any other intelligent fan would give less than a **** about the flow of the fight. I would rather see a fighter that gets wrongfully dq'd for low blows get a fair shake, and boxers that claim to have slipped be shown to get knocked down. Besides, the ref could view the replay during the break between rounds.
I couldn't agree with you more, I think you nailed it. Well said...
