With that said the referee is closest to the action and can see the punches better because he is in the ring. >> >>I think that they need to eliminate the 10 point must system >>and go back to avoiding the round to the fighter. >> > >I like the 10pt must because it gives value to big rounds >where folks get knocked down or break rules. >
Flash knockdowns shouldn’t mean that a fighter wins a round big. Just because a fighter is knocked down doesn’t guarantee a fighter wins the round.
Instead of deducting points for fouls the referee can issue so many warnings. After that just DQ the fighter.

The fighters know what they’re signing up for when they get into boxing. 15 round fights would give you a clear winner most of the time. All fights do not have to be 15 rounds. A majority of the fights can stay 10 to 12 rounds. Only for megafights could they do 15 round fights.
