change of rules. boxers should be allowed 1 time our per fight

[Raonic]

No. Everyone is going to use it before their guy is going to get KOed.

Boxing is not a game.......

I don't like the idea. I don't see any need for it. Sometimes a boxer waits all fight to get his rival in trouble and set him up for a KO. Then his rival takes a time out to get out of trouble? I don't like that at all.

did the gun jam when you tried to kill yourself after matthysse postol?

i thought you'd be dead for sure.

****ing gun control in the UK meant I couldn't get my hands on one, and just like Matthysse I was too much of a chicken to do it any other way.

SMH, idiots on here saying 'rules are rules'.
You people do realize that these rules are just arbitrary, right? They are changed depending on which commission oversees the fight.
I wish open scoring was mandatory on all fights AND corners could get to challenge a point deduction with instant replay in between rounds (e.g. close calls re: gloves touching canvas, head butts, rabbit punches, low blows, etc...).
Anyway, new rules are on the way regardless--as with all things, change is inevitable.

Awful idea. Letting fighters or cornermen call a 'timeout' would disrupt the flow and tempo of the fight and might cause fighters to take more punishment. If a fighter is taking a beating and you give him extra time to recover then it is possible that the fighter will be able to withstand more punishment than if the fight played out naturally. It's a safety issue for me and I say "no"

What is this, monopoly?, Each fighter should be given a "get out of trouble free" card.

[Boxtime]

Allowing fighters a one minute timeout during the round is a pathetic idea. However, allowing each fighter to take an extra one minute break, in between a round is not such a bad idea.

Fighters should also have the option to make their opponents wear weight vests for one round to slow them down. This would've helped Pac against Mayweather.

**** NO! Boxing has already been softened enough, this is an absolutely terrible idea.
