    Japan Commission To Use Instant Replay in WBC Fights

    The WBC is very happy with this development regarding the instant replay rule, which was adopted during the 45th Annual WBC World Convention in Manila, Philippines, in November 2007. [details]

    That's cool! Now all we need is Steve Madden with his little pen thingy going BAM! GOT HIT BY A TRUCK!.. oh wait, Teddy Atlas does that sometimes already lol
    That's good that they will finally start using instant reply though, to avoid any f'd up decisions when it comes to cuts and ish.

      at first I was thinking, wtf could they possibly need instant reply for in boxing, but after reading the article it actually makes a lot of sense.

        i hope other boxing bodies follow suit. instant-replay-rule will help blind referees make their decision. there are a number of active blind referees in the sport.

          Very good idea for questionable calls.

          Hopefully other countries will follow suit.
