New rule idea to cut down on dodgy stoppages.....

[Kev]

Some states and some sanctioning bodies already have a standing 8 count....

Ever notice when Lederman or Bernstien are announcing the rules of the fight there is always the no standing 8 count in effect or standing 8 count is in effect part...

Usually right before only the ref or doctor can stop the fight

Ha yeah you are, he always says 'There's no standing 8 count only the referee can stop the fight...........

Has he EVER said 'there is a standing 8 count rule in effect?'

I don't recall ever seeing it.
