Rule changes in boxing.

No to replays wont work.

Could give a guy hurt valuble seconds to recover also referees could use this to favour the home town fighter.

I agee with one champion but again wont work the orgs would never agree.

I should have been more clear, the replays would be used only post fight on rulings such as cuts and low blows for point deductions.

The thing about boxing is two men enter they slug it out then at the end there is a definative result one way or the other. If fans go home not knowing if a result will be over turned would just not work.

Imagine paying for a ppv then having to wait to see if the result stands and again i think one mans slip is another mans kd.

There should be no reason for a result to take more than 10 minutes of review, more likely 5 minutes, by the time the fight is over the incident in question will be queued and immediately reviewed.

A rule was already set where they had one minute in between rounds to review the tape, kind of like they do in football, a minute might not always be enough but if they move fast enough, they might be able to solve some issues. I was judging the Leonard/Hagler fight and I gave round 4 to Leonard but after watching a replay, I had to change my score and call the round even because SRL's bolo punch was not right on the money, it was a low blow and it was that bolo punch that made the difference in me giving the round to SRL but after seeing it was low, how could I give that round to Ray? I am not saying the judges should have access to instant replay but I think the corner should be able to get a quick review call the foul in question and if it is a foul, let the judges see it and then they can turn in their score cards That is fair. Give each corner 3 review chances? Two maybe per fight? I don't know.

I say one minute of instant replay is some cases is better than none at all.



In the case of the Thompson fight last week, it did not take 20 seconds to view that it was a head butt that caused the cut. Simple as that jack.
