    With Amir Khan protesting.....

    Can instant replay somehow or someway be implemented into the sport. With so many questionable calls this year, maybe some sort would help. Like between rounds check to see if a knockdown was legit if it happened? I dont know....just a thought....could it ever work in some way shape or form?

    No way, too much of a distraction. This sport requires too much on momentum...

      I don't think that's going to happen, at least not in a near future. Boxing is a sport that depends on quick decisions and nobody (judges, boxers, referee, etc...) have a lot of time to think so they must make a decisions in a few seconds. Even between rounds there's only one minute to check the repetitions and everything so it would still be very hard to see if it was a legit knock down or not.

      Also you have to consider that for example one boxer knocks down the other and believes he has a 10-8 round, however the repetition says that it wasn't legit so they reverse the decision and it could be a 10-9 round for the other boxer, so that will cause a lot of confusion and more protests about some decisions.

        Perhaps after the fight has completed should it have gone all 12.
