They are just trying to find a way to determine if theres a concussion or worse a brain bleed occurring before its too late. They are not trying to pussyify the sport.
The get up by ten or be counted out has to remain. Then this shit would have to go on for safety after the count its shouldnt stretch a count out, they have to be separate.
Still recon they could teach refs to shine a light in the iris to see if the brain has been impaired, would take all of 2 seconds each eye.They could even ask them what year it is and what month it is while doing it and have one wrist and clean one glove on their shirt while holding the fighter to them.
Anything out of whack in the eyes the doc is called in. Probably work out to be 25 seconds until the fight continued if their iris's still worked. In reality its probably between 16 to 20 sec now in most cases by the time the question "Are you ok to continue, do you want to go on?' is asked and any grit brushed from the gloves on his shirt and he steps out the way and says fight.
Recon you could teach any ref to do all checks and questions in 10 to 15 seconds easily.
