Thread: Instant replay about to start in Nevada? - Debut could be Marquez/Mayweather

It's about time.


Instant replay OK'd for boxing, MMA - Sports - ReviewJournal.com

LMAO they talked to Joe Cortez about it.

I think it's a good idea for review of questionable fouls, I totally support it.

One question I have is, whose discretion it falls under? Can only the ref call for it? Can cornermen call for it? The Fighters? The judges?

If Cortez gets to use the replay to his advantage we'll be getting a whole lot of DQ victories...

I think that such reviews were nothing but necessary for the credibility and integrity of boxing, poor decisions must have the possibility to be overturned, now that they got the good idea, they have to turn the system to work solidly and to not give an extra kick in the groin to Boxing; There must be a group of persons that will watch the foul and judge and just like in american football, put some very important rules to state when and when not a decision can be overturned.

Loooooooooooong overdue.Larry hazard pushed for this in Jersey but I cannot remember seeing it ever used.Commissions and Promoters will have to be on the same page and surely they can work out the kinks.

Wonder if corners would be able to opt when they use it.As in the NFL ??

New Jersey has it, but it was left up to the promoters to provide the equipment necessary to enforce it for a fight. None did, at least not yet.

Here are the basics for it's use in New Jersey, not sure if Nevada will follow the same guidelines.


The innovative New Jersey State Athletic Control Board has announced that effective immediately, instant replay can be utilized during combative sporting contests to review a referee's call or lack of a call. Instant replay will be utilized at the discretion of the lead promoter. Theagency will not force a promoter to utilize instant replay, but will not deny the promoter the opportunity to do so. The agency does not have the technology readily available, so it will be up to the promoter to provide the necessary equipment. The use of such technology would allow the Commissioner to review issues such as:

1. Knockdowns versus slips
2. Accidental versus intentional fouls
3. If a cut was the result of legal strike
4. If a fighter beat the count
5. Low blows
6. Whether or not a strike landed before the bell rang.

The Commissioner, if approached during a round by the contestant's chief second, would review the issue at the end of the round. The bout would be temporarily stopped during the rest period and the Commissioner would have a maximum of three minutes to render a decision or choose to reserve his judgment because further review is needed. Upon the Commissioner's ruling, the bout would then be restarted and would continue.
