  • Is it time for boxing to change some rules?

    The nfl changed rules to add scoring and less injuries , basketball changed rules for more
    Scoring and less defense .

    Should boxing add timeouts ? Imagine your fighternis badly hurt and you can just call a timeout

    or

    use the 1 min break and then call timeout when the next round is gonna start

    Basketball.strategically uses timeouts to kill runs or momentum .

    Football uses timeouts to re-think a play or to ice the kicker or stop the clock.

    Boxing could add a 3 timeouts per corner per 12 round fight. Boxing has no scoreboard and no timeouts and boxing network channel along with no superbowl .

    Is it time to change things about boxing. Maybe 5 judges instead of three . Or maybe a scoreboard for home viewers .

    What rule or thing you **** to change about boxing when it comes to fights , rules or viewer experience?

    The timeout idea is rubbish obviously, it would kill all the drama, so it definitely wouldn't be beneficial for the sport. 13th round could be a good idea, imagine there's a draw, and whoever wins that round would be a winner. That would be very exciting to see.

      Something has to be done with the judges, it's usually more of a surprise then anything when the right decision gets read out in the big fights. If 5 judges helps then so be it.

        Ive always loved the idea of a13th round.

        I think boxing would be more exciting with for example 147 pound fighters having to fight in 16x16 rings .

            I believe after any draw another round should be fought.

                I voted for

                * weigh-in is 15 minutes before fight with 50% of earnings taken away from those who don't make weight and given to charity

                  No timeout rule. Just eliminate some weight classes and eliminate some titles.
                  This will help more than anything.

                    5 judges I have always said but 2 of the 5 have to watch the fight on a closed circuit t.v., no sound, no 1 in the room to sway their judgement. Also judges should be subject to polygraph testing when fight purses are over a certain amount of $.
