Any confirmation about Turkilency's plan of reducing the size of the ring?

I'm sure you know what I'm hinting at.

What's your opinion on this?

Is it a good idea to reduce the size of the ring to avoid too much running in boxing?

We can't complain about the weather all the time and not do anything about it.

I think they should stick to the standard 20x20. No more 22’. Maybe go 18x18 at the smallest.

I remember watching MBilli fight Desmond Nicholson in Canada , and every time Nicholson took a step back and he wasn’t “running”, he was basically already on the ropes in what I believe was a 16x16 ring. I know we don’t want “runners” but that’s definitely too small, and I wouldn’t want personally.

Go 18’ x 18’, Your Excellency.

And maybe even experiment with 16’ x 16’ like they used to have back in the 1920’s through 1940’s. Let’s see how viable that is.

No Tom and Jerrys would survive that.

how about no clinching/holding as well. Or at the very least penalize them fast for excessive clinching/holding.

I'm all for it. If they're good "boxers" then they can be mobile and not get hit in any size ring.

Turki should do it. He's the one getting slammed by critics when his fights are boring to watch. Why not? I don't see anyone who would stop him from implementing it.

I haven't given much thought about this until Billy Joe Saunders made a ruckus in the media when he was demanding a large ring in the Canelo fight. Then I checked out his fight against David Lemieux on Youtube and man it was hyuuge! The undercards on lighter weights in that boxing event looked like dwarfs! And BJS's fight with Lemieux was what encouraged him to call out the Mexican superstar. He was so proud of his work in that fight.

It indeed makes a huge difference on boxers whose game plan is to run in a fight.

Yeah, it makes no sense watching a guy running in circles the majority of a mere 3 minute per round fight. Investor's money going straight down the drain. Money that should have been spent on deserving fighters. Who would want to see such garbage again?

Can't believe how small the ring was last night for the Vito fight. I'm all for it. If you want the payday, fight in the smaller ring or forever be a duck.
