    Instant replay does sound good.

      Out of the Ring:
      5 or 7 Judges instead of 3

      The Champ must defend his crown within 5 months to the no.1 contender


      In the Ring:
      • 15 second clock rule
      A fighter cannot "run" around (the one running away) for more than 15 seconds and have to be penalized by taking away a "point"

      • Clincher loses a "point"

        The extra outside the ring judges sounds good but don't know if that will help with bad decision.

          Rules like that over complicate things and would distract boxers that don't hold a lot into worrying also how would you punish it as removing a point is harsh

            Well at least 5 judges is better than 3 I think....so perhaps get judges (or even get judges or boxers to be judges likewise). If the commission can pay 7 judges even better.

            So 7 would be ideal. WIth "bad decisions", at the very least there's more consensus among judges instead of just 1 judge to override 2 others. In this case, if there's a 3 vs 3 and 1 judge to be the ice breaker, then perhaps it is "clearer".

            Perhaps even revise what is SPLIT DECISION. Maybe eliminate it and put back the 15 rounds of boxing until someone goes down instead. Therefore eliminating or minimizing "guess work".

            That's my humble opinion.

              I like the idea of making boxers judges.

                  Instant replay to overturn ridiculous calls.
