From Bob Yalen, WBC Supervisor at the September 27 cruiserweight world title fight in Moscow:

Instant replay was successfully used in Russia at the September 27th WBC Cruiserweight title fight between defending champion Krzysztof Wlodarczyk of Poland and Grigory Drozd of Russia. The concept of instant replay was agreed with Igor Mazurov of the Russian Professional Boxing Federation prior to the event, and he enthusiastically supported it. It was then discussed with the promoters, World of Boxing LLC, who verified its use along with the host broadcaster.

Some good news in boxing for a change. I felt thoroughly pleased after reading this article. If this takes off, it'll feel like a light switch being turned on for the sport - no more shitty calls on cuts.

Using instant replay is a good idea but tell these idiots they can examine the footage while the next round is going on, they stopped the action for well over a minute delaying the start of the next round when they were reviewing which is not necessary.
