Round 12: Resistance to change<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mauricio Sulaim\u00e1n – Son of Jos\u00e9 Sulaim\u00e1n – President of the WBC<\/p>\n

The World Boxing Council in collaboration with national boxing federations and local boxing commissions \u00a0has revolutionized the sport, implementing measures to make it safer for fighters, as well as to improve the dynamics of the sport in general, making precise modifications to certain rules to achieve justice, and modernizing boxing to bring it to the levels of other sports, using technology that is now a reality and serves to maximize justice in the fights.<\/p>\n

Resistance to change is what\u00a0so often \u00a0dominates. Traditionalists immediately reject the possibility of even studying and analyzing the proposed modifications. There are some who, taking advantage of their position, abuse the power that it gives them, and even take actions to block the possibility of any variation\/innovation\/progress.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Sulaim\u00e1n led the World Boxing Council with a tireless passion to improve the sport\u00a0that he so loved. \u00a0Don Jos\u00e9 was visionary; he always saw what other could \u00a0barely imagine and he fought with determination to break those paradigms that kept boxing in the dark for decades. The decisions made by the WBC have saved many lives, dignified the boxer and guaranteed a\u00a0healthy and decent \u00a0life after a career in the ring.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The most important changes, without a doubt, are those that, through medical studies, determined courses of action to make this sport more humane, with specific recommendations based on science.
\nGoing down from 15 to 12 rounds was a recommendation which came from the studies and research \u00a0which \u00a0the WBC sponsored at UCLA. The severity of the condition in which a fighter could be found in those last three rounds was determined, \u00a0the physical and mental condition and the effects that blows to the head \u00a0was thoroughly analyzed where fatigue and dehydration led them to fight with the high risk of brain injury and, sometimes, death.<\/p>\n

The change on the day of the official weigh-in, to be one day before the fight, was another of the great change achievements. The dehydration that the fighter suffers to\u00a0reach \u00a0the official weight is, in many occasions, dramatic. That day when he rehydrates, where he manages to sleep calmly, without the anguish of having to suffer the weight struggle, so the general recovery of the body and brain, has been perhaps the most important change in boxing history.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Additionally, the WBC has been using instant replay in boxing for over 10 years; Despite this, we have experienced constant resistance in some countries. The announcement of the official scores at the end of the fourth and eighth rounds was also implemented, with the same opposition, and that has been the dynamic in the current world, where mummified resistance to change was manifested, and the abuse of power, based on \u00a0egotistical and insecurity characters , hold back the good evolution of boxing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

administrative\u00a0protocols have been developed.\u00a0Limiting the number of people participating in the even has been an important factor in order to minimize the risks.\u00a0\u00a0The WBC has adjusted the “Remote Judging System”, which has been used in the past two years, to evaluate and train ring officials. This program has been used as an option to reduce the persons that are present at the event and has brought a\u00a0series of great features \u00a0for events during current conditions.<\/p>\n

The Remote Judging system does not pretend to ” challenge \u201c boxing structure, it is not a threat to boxing judges and their performance at ringside; It is simply an alternative that can be used at these difficult moments, however, it is bringing a series of very positive alternatives for boxing. To have 6, 8 or as many professional certified officials judge remotely is bringing a wide new wonder to the administration of our sport. It is a fact that the more judges officiate an event, the less possibility of a wrong decision, period. It is also a possible fun feature for fans during broadcast , sports fans love statistics and information during the events.<\/p>\n

Zanfer promotions with Azteca \u00a0Television in Mexico promoted three shows , those were aired \u00a0ESPN in the United States, and ESPN Knockout throughout Central and South America.
\nAs part of the reduction of personnel protocol, the judges officiated remotely, with three from the television studio and three more from home in the United States. All six judges\u2019 cards were the \u00a0official scores and the experiment has been an absolute success.<\/p>\n
