Would y'all like to see refs handout more point deductions?

Funny how when Maidana fouls he's labeled a "dirty fighter". When Bhops fouls he's considered "crafty".

All fighters are a little dirty at times but blatant excessive dirtiness should be warned and then deducted a point.

They DO take 1 minute breaks in between rounds. Are you new? How is that nerfing the sport? This isn't UFC, there are rules.

Meant to say between or middle of the round. I have boxed as an amateur so no I am not new.

It's a rough sport and once the trend kicks in it will be quite annoying almost like the NBA where the foul calling gets so damn annoying at times. Low blows and punching back of the head makes perfect sense, but clinching not so much. I should have been specific by mentioning clinching.

UFC or MMA does have rules. Their punching form can be horrible especially if they come from a Wrestling or a Jiu Jitsu background, so a first time viewer who is a boxing fan might think they can't fight and are just street fighters in a cage.

Yes, please Nerf up the sport. Would "y'all" also like timeouts in the middle of the round?

It's actually the opposite. Imagine, less clinching, less elbows, less forearms ...... and more action!

[Cinci Champ]

i think refs do seem scarred at times to deduct so fighters are taking advantage more and more

[face untouched]

listen man if yall gone have motha****ers running around trying to knee people in the damn head and try all that wwe **** then yes enough with the damn rabbit punching to wtf was that ****? WTF was lawrence cole even doing smfh

[MaskedMurderer]

Only when its really necessary to take control back of the fight IMO.

Less elbows and forearms yes, but clinching is a strategic part of boxing. Not saying this because Khan recently started doing it, but I have been a Ward fan for a while.

Also as an example if Maidana couldn't neutralize Devon's game then Bradley and Porter did. Where as illegal strikes can just end a fight.

It wouldn't play out well for alot of the "top" fighter's who excessively hug

That not hugging. That is "ring intelligence", "being slick", "crafty". But only that only applies to certain fighters. When other guys do the same thing, its excessive and needs to be stopped.

Not sure most fans understand the differences between fouls and rough play.
Also how difficult it is to ref a highly competitive bout. Lets face it most fans have never seen a live show.
Clever fighters know how to manipulate certain ref's also get the ref out of position. A good ref will give a fighter the benefit of doubt at first but once a pattern develops they know how to deal with it.
Remember the view on tv is the best to view the event the ref is up close and can see into a fighters eyes but he's also blinded most of the time from the furthest arm away. If he's stepping around the aggressor he will put himself in blind spots throughout the night. It's not an easy job and to become good at it you need ALOT of experience. Ray.

Lets face it. Your entire statement is one big joke. If the best view, is from tv, having never seen a live show, would make no difference.
