Boxing needs to change!

By Johnny Barreto: Ask any true boxing fan and they will all tell you, boxing needs a revamp of all its rules. Most fans ask themselves, why do we have a WBC, WBA, WBC, IBF, IBO, and WBO? Why have 5 champions in the same weight division? Why have a boxing commission that seems powerless. Well, we all know the answers….corruption and greed. Well, we the boxing fans are sick and tired of all this BS and we demand a F”bleep” change.

Obviously, the current boxing system doesn’t work, and if boxers and promoters can now overrule these so call boxing commissions and organizations and get away with it, then what’s the point of having these agencies? Boxing needs to fix issues such has random blood testing, Catch weight, ring size, gloves, etc, otherwise, if things keep going this way who knows what’s next; maybe will see Brain scans, No sex 24hr prior to a championship fight and DNA to make sure you are not a freaking alien. I am not saying these things are bad for boxing but they need to be the same rules everywhere. That’s why I think change needs to come and give boxing and all of its fans a whole new system that works.

I’ve been a boxing fan for 37 years and I must say I have never heard so much BS in boxing like in the last few years. If every major sport in the world can have a pretty decent system why cannot boxing have it too? How can you attract new fans to join the game of the sweet science when you have this entire BS around it? How many brains is it going to take to fix a simple problem? Here are 3 brainless ideas…1. One champion per weight division. 2. Universal rules on all states and countries. 3. One head to toe medical test that includes (the nut area) and you must have 2 for championship fights and of course the now world famous random blood testing….But maybe that does not make a lot of cent$……..peace!!!
