Re: The Saddoboxing Sanctioning body
I can live with a year.Also Galaxy about draws.....how about an immediate rematch,taking into consideration injuries,cuts etc.100 days with no other fights permitted??We have to do something different,shake it up.Both retain rankings as prior to the fight,if they opt for another fight...they drop from the top ten?I know some draws can be results of tightly fought affairs but they are also inconclusive and well...draws

What if the fight is crap & no one wants to see it again? There maybe other bigger fights at the weight that maybe just as important.
Not all draws are between top ranked fighters lets say for example a rated fighter draws with a unrated fighter & the decision was controversial (the rated fighter should have won) do you think its fair for the rated fighter to be removed after 100 days because he didn't rematch the unrated fighter because there might have been a bigger fight for him?
I don't think tech draws should be counted in regards to earning a ranking. If rated fighters fight to a tech draw their ranks should remain the same. If a unrated fights a ranked & it ends in a technical draw the ranked fight should remain the same & the unrated should be placed in the pool.
My opinion is that if a fight ends in a draw over the distance then the lower rated or unrated fighter should take the spot below the higher.

One other thing.. I think we have to follow the official decisions even if we don't agree with them. But this may lead to some unworthy fighters becoming ranked. e.g. your boy Humberto Soto officially lost the 1st Lorenzo fight, that would have landed Lorenzo 4th by our ratings system. But we would have to stand by our system no matter how bogus the decision is!

A draw should have no effect on the rankings!! Since they are fighting for the rank you have to win to take it.I don't know?

I think as Galazy mentioned a scale to dropping ranks 1 for a close loss, 2 for a clear loss, 3 for a blowout loss. I don't know if I agree with the switching positions thing though I'm gonna have to run through some scenarios on Excel :P
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
