What is wrong with boxing?
86528
When people think of boxing, they still think of Mike Tyson and he's done with boxing. There are some equally talented and charismatic boxers, but none at the heavyweight level, who are really the only people most people pay attention to.\n\nThere are four main boxing organizations (WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF) and each of them gives out their own titles and has their own champions. Four heavyweight champs right now? The title belts have to be unified by one person so that the general public has someone to associate with the phrase 'heavyweight champion.' There are a couple of good heavyweight bouts coming up, but nothing that will unify the title and prove dominance in the sport.\n\nPay-per-views are another problem. But a lot of the shows that aren't on pay-per-view are on HBO or Showtime, still. Telefutura shows Solo Boxeo every week, so they've gained a solid piece of the Hispanic Market. But ESPN's Friday Night Fights only airs for about half of the year. People who tune into that after a while forget boxing exists and aren't in tune at all as to when big events are coming up.\n\nIf they could get some of the bigger fights on network television like NBC or Fox, I think that would get a lot of people back into the sport. That, and unified heavyweight champ with the excitement of a Mike Tyson.

From boxing. It happens when a boxer is groggy and ready to be knock out and the bell rings to end the round and give him a chance to recuperate.

running, boxing, wrestling, discus, javelin, shotput, long jump, and pentathalon/decatholon combinations of such. \n\nyes, they were played naked and women were not allowed.\n\nthey were also much more viscious. People were beaten to a pulp, had thumbs bit off, etc in the boxing games.

no, boxing is a good sport to watch or do, even it seems it is a little wild. \n\nthe most beautiful thing about boxing is after the match, two opponents congratulate each other, after they had punched each other for all the match. in which sport do you see this?\n\nın soccer or basketball or any other court sports, most of the time, the loser leaves the pitch but in most of the fighting sports, they act better to each other after the match.

Muaythai is a tough sport.  The knockdowns and KOs seem to be less than in boxing but the careers are shorter.  The guys who do it tend to be kids from the countryside, who dedicate most of their teens to this sport.  The ritual and feeling of a muaythai match is fun to see and I really think regular boxing tends to be more dangerous.  Me, I'll watch, too damn old to get hit!

Whenever a boxer is hit hard enough in a certain place, the fist compresses arteries in the neck and causes a minor stroke. This may sound bad, but it really isn't.

sounds like a retarded idea to me. Look at Ali! Boxing causes brain damage thus defeating the purpose of being educated.

This is getting hysterical, Sports Fan 123 asks questions like "How is boxing scored?", "Can Someone Explain To Me How Proffesional Boxing Works?", or "Is there a 'Regular Season' in boxing?". But he knows enough now to tell you this fight is "Awesome!" Later today he'll be giving a conference on Molecular Instability. Because it's "Awesome!" (ps Fan 123 there's only one "f" in Professional, maybe you should become a "fan" of Webster's Dictionary).

you would most likely have non boxing people in positions to make important decisions for the sport and this is most likely a bad thing. Although fresh perspectives are often nice, there may be a bit of a decrease in the voice of those who are actually in the know so to speak. Also there is the threat that we might regress to the mean in terms of the good state commissions. While many states are likely to have better commission work through a federal commission there are states that probably will have the quality of their work watered down as a result of what would most likely be an increasing bueracracy. Also theres a likelyhood that things will fall through the cracks. The prospect of dealing with a nationwide commission is going to make small time fight cards very difficult to run properly by all the codes because of the sheer volume of fight cards that will need to be dealt with.
