If you could change, remove or add a rule in boxing what would it be.

I'd add a rule: Promoter and promotional companies can not sign fighters to exclusive contracts.

And for the enrichment of the sports future I would force all of the different governing bodies to merge into one or face near extiction and irrelevance in the publics eyes........... Rockin'

Yes I think knockdowns should act like point deductions. So if you're winning a round and get knocked down, the round should be scored 9-9. Now if the knockdown is so brutal that it pretty much negates the work the fighter put in, the round should be scored 10-8.

Its called a 10 point must system for a reason. People think a KD is completely separate from the rest of the round, its not.

[Russian Crushin]

Not so much a rule, but I would encourage judges to score 10-10 rounds. I think that would stop a lot of, what people view as, robberies when there are many close rounds, but one fighter is clearly dominant in all of the others.

ANybody remember Duran-Leonard 1? one of the judges had like ten 10-10 rounds

Because I think many fighters get away with excessive holding I would make it a rule that you can't hold more then 3 times a round between rounds 1-10 and in the final two rounds you can hold 5 times per round.

If you could change, remove or add a rule what would it be?


Here's a good example.

Why the bonus round of course !!! If a fight is even after 10 or 12 rounds then....the bonus round kicks in !!!

What's the name of this thread?

[Build That Wall]

No more bad judges, or no more judges who are willing to except bribes from promoters or managers to the point where the fight gets scored in favor of the fighter that the managers and promoters wanted to win. Oh and that the WBC needs to allow their titles to get unified with other titles.

[torosboxing75]

Get rid of exclusive contracts between promoters. Set up a fighters union and let all these promoters try to out bid each other for the best fights. Everyone would fight everyone with promoter feud out of the way.

This might also guarantee that the best fight the best.

Your not the only person that feels this way and to be honest I never really thought of it but it would be great for the sport.

[Sam Donald]

scores should be knwn after each round

[torosboxing75]

scores should be knwn after each round

I don't think this would be a good idea because then the people that are winning will not want to engage in the final rounds.
