what do you want to get rid from boxing first?

taking hint from abraham-dirrell fight, what do you want to get rid from boxing first?

painted advertisements on the canvass

incompetent referees like lawrence cole

incompetent ring physicians

ugly ring card girls

other undesirables

Shitty refs and the Alphabet orgs are the 1st things that has to go.

Fighters that see a guy slip on an add and instead of fighting like a man, waits till the guy is on the damn ground and punches him in the dome like a girl. Take you ass whoopin like a man, if the situation was reversed and direll did that shit i'd be passin the kleenex around for all the damn crying. You're in a legal contest where you can beat the shit out of the other guy but that's not good enough. You have to hit him when he's on the ground defenseless then have the freakin nerve to try and pass it off him....real bitch made.

slipping will be minimized if there's no painted ads in there in the first place. what's more important, the ads or boxer's health?

1 championship belt per division , lets bin the rest.

Some judges; 3 wrong calls that are points away from the norm and they should be outed for good.

Just what I was going to say.

I'm looking forward to the day Audley is finally removed from boxing.

Agreed

• A unified world champion in every division being a requirement
• stricter rules on endless holding
• automatic 4point deduction for anyone seen spitting out there mouth peice
• fighters that have writing on their backs of a casino or local company
• an official set of premier refs that ref all the major fights
• automatic point deductions for falling over/play acting or just being andre dirrell

Those ads have been a problem for a long time now.. I don't know why they insist on using them...

Even those silly little pyramid adverts they use have been a problem... Remember David Haye got dropped by Mormick because he slipped on one, lost his barrings and got nailed.

It's bad enough that these guys are fighting for there live's.. They don't need to do it on an obstacle course!

I've actually surprised myself at how genuinely passionate I am about this :mad:

I voted other as for : stupid multiple belts collection.

15 minute ringwalks from nobodies who have watched too many rocky movies
Fancy shorts with tassles and splits and shit. Again (see above). A guys shorts should reflect his talent and not vice-versa.
12 round fights
Incompetent judges who score fights sooo different from the others. I mean,come on, are you not embarrassed at all. Would you not give it up and have some dignity?
Big mouths with little talent (see top 2). A little of humility now and again would be good

The painted advertising definitely needs to go. Advertise where you will but there is no need to make the ring an ice rink.

Incompetent refs and judges all need to go. As does Amir Khan.

Logo's have been my biggest beef for many years now. I mean how many of these incident's do you need. I remember seeign Fernando Vargas doing the same thing to Fitz Vanderpool. Vanderpool slipped and Vargas throw a shot that knocked him down and many many others were doing exactly like Dirrell did and fighter's rifle 'em in the head.

For F**K sake get rid of all logos!!!

1. Get rid of the various sanctioning bodies to make way for one international body.

Excuses.

It's virtually impossible to get a fair contest in boxing.

Hometown robbery, dodgy refs, dodgy judges, too old, too young, wrong weight class, trainers fault, bad training camps, loaded gloves, steroid cheat, wrong socks... it never ends :beat:

Alphabet titles.....Crap Refs.....WBC scoring after every 3 rounds......Don King....crap PPV....crap under cards......crap Judging......wow...!!!


Job Biscuit (That is my Xmas List)!!!!


eh eh!!

I dunno about just 1 sanctioning body, but how about 2 that work together.

I kind of like unification bouts, personally. What I DON'T like is the "WBA Super world champs" and the "WBA regular interim world champ", etc etc

IMO there should only be one champ per division. Who's the Heavyweight champ? Depends on which body you ask. There should only be one answer to that question. Just my opinion of course.

wow so many undesireables in the sport we love. isn't it getting rid of those ads/logos the easiest first thing to do?

Sponsors that give big money to the sport are not an easy thing to get rid of.

they can be relegated to the ring apron rather than having them inside the ring. let's have a wider ring apron to make them happy. they're still very visible out there. boxer's health should be the top priority.

Going realistic (Because sanctioning bodies are not going anywhere at least not for a while)

Incompetent Ref's is big...IMO Ref's should have to face review after every fight by some sort of commission...Check tape for fairness, partiality etc.....

EG- Marlon Wright is one.....The fool from Saturday is another.....

Painted ads on the canvas are a problem as well they need to have another way top incorporate the logos on the canvas for sure but this has been a problem for years now and the idiots still ignore it....

They should stick the logos on the referees uniform. Those guys are clowns, might as well make it look proper. I hate advertising in general. It is a disgusting concept.

This is a no-brainer!!! Incompetent refs, of course! No one likes the ads, especially when all they do is serve as slippery traps for unsuspecting fighters. (Hell... I'd spit on one of those things if I ever slipped on one. Come to think of it, wouldn't that be a cool thing to see?). Got sidetracked there...

But incompetent refs do more damage to boxing than any of us can ever know. It turns off veteran boxing fans... but probably turns AWAY the "starting out" boxing fan. Incompetent refs should be permanently banned from the sport, I say.

the abraham-dirrell fight has it all. slippery ads, incompetent ref, incompetent ring physician. all ingredients of a disastrous boxing fight.

i'm all for it but it's very difficult to implement, close to impossible with all these abc boxing organizations proliferating around.

I voted for weeding out incompetent refs, but I had this same thought. Surely in this day and age of technological wonders, someone could figure out a way put those ads on the canvas in a way that doesn't become slippery when wet?!

Hell, it could be reduced immensely if they would just refrain from putting any ads in the fighters corners. It seems that's where shit happens so often, because of all the water they use on the fighters. Duh!

Incompetent everyone...refs,judges,commision officials...who have zero oversight and are held to little accountability for shit calls which have a lasting and immediate effect on a fighters career....

Boxings stuck in the stone ages mind set and willingness to 'settle'......for f!!! sake why do we NOT have wide implementation of instant replay ??

Logos and ring apron bumper pads which have caused numerous injuries and delayed the momentum of matches....the NFL uses some type of projected laser images for the field...the goal lines,yard lines,why not boxing?

The WBA to start with,then the IBF followed by the WBO and last but almost as bad as the others the WBC.;D

I think that I go with the Hatton's rules, that sounds quite brilliant to me.

Pay Per View for every major fight! Do they not realise boxing would be more mainstream if more people could watch it! Pus if that happened, we might actually see better cards, instead all boxers want to hold out to headline their own events and make more money.

Corruption. Clearly the ringside judges can't be that incompetant without backhanders being put in their pockets.

Agreed. Boxing has fucked itself up with PPV. Only a small group of fans ever go through with this system.

Clinching.....:mad:

Incompetent Referees like Cole and that idiot Cortez.

I wish Kenny Bayless referee's every single World title fight, he is the best there is.

Agreed.

Having 3 or 4 World Champions in each division is just stupid.
