Three changes to help boxing

[Kev]

I guess you'd like to get rid of supermarkets and frozen foods and go back to the days when men were men, built their own houses and went out and hunted and killed their dinner.


I would love to see same day weigh in's brought back. That way Manny could become middlweight champ too.

With modern health and safety legislation however you have exactly fuck all hope of the first two being reversed. It's far more likely that they will introduce more health checks, for example when someone takes a big punch, a nurse will come on, sit him down and ask if he's ok to continue. If he says yes he'll first have to fill in an accident at work form which the referee must also sign. Then his gloves will be put back on and the round will continue.

Any of the changes mentioned don't mean shit unless the best are fighting the best bottom line. Till they fix that it doesn't matter how many rounds there are, when they weigh etc.... Aside from that getting rid of stupid catchweights and having these guys fight for a purse would change boxing a lot too. None of these changes will ever happen cause as long as they are pulling in tons of cash with the way boxing is now they have no reason to change anything.

I like the idea of 15 rounders for title fights.
Ban catch weights.
Somehow or some way have one governing body instead of having about 10 and HBO deciding who fights whom.
I almost want to say go back to the original 8. Oh wait, I just did.
Something has to be done about horrendous judging.

1. Have a league and set rules...you don't necessarily need to have a set roster for how many fighters can be in the league like UFC does, but just make the rules more universal.

2. 1 title per division...every fight is a bit more meaningful and the title fights hopefully go back to being THE big events

3. Purse bonuses for knockouts and perhaps (in order to be fair) also for rounds won just so the boxing purists out there don't get ripped off. That should either A) Entice fighters to gun for the KO or B) At least help them step on the gas when they can benefit by clearly winning rounds.

....just my 2 cents

[MMASUX]

1) Get rid of the WBC
2) Get rid of the WBA
3) Get rid of the WBO

I'm sick of all the belts

You know if the technology gets any better, we might get to see the on-site brain injury scanner.

Reflection of that Lights Out final scene, where Paule M. and John D. were at the table for the start of a boxers union. Promoters could get tagged for providing health insurance.
