The National Boxing association's thinking crew, meeting over the
week-end In Philadelphia, have come up with a suggested 33-polut program
designed to make the sport of boxing "universally safe" for the par
ticipants. The recent wave of ring deaths and Injuries climaxed last week
by the death of a 11-vcar-old boy in a Brooklyn school match has set
boxing authorities, those of responsibility, to wondering whrre the
manly art Is going.
Of prime importance and one which should be rigidly adopted
in all states and cities. Is the NBA's suggestion that any boxer who
suffers six straight setbacks should be Investigated and examined. Too
many men and boys who aren't physically fit are allowed to. get Into
the ring.
Another suggestion and a worthy one takes up the case of a boxer
who has received a serious concussion. He should not be allowed
to fight again until he has passed a searching examination by a board
of physicians. In the event of repeated knockdowns and bad boatings,
a boxer should be "retired" told to seek a livelihood elsewhere.
Six Weeks Between Clean Kayoes
The NBA planners go on to say that an Interval of six weeks
should be required before a boxer who has been knocked unconscious
would be allowed to fight again, and then onlv on the okav of a ring
physician. Jimmy Doyle fought and was killed by the fists of Sugur
Ray Robinson only a week after he had been hospitalised for con
cussion received in another match.
Another suggestion, which may hove some merit but which probably
will not become anything other than talk. Is that when a boxer is
decked cleanly he be required to take the count of eight, either on the
canvas or on his feet. In other words, after a knockdown, activity
would not be allowed to commence for a minimum of eight seconds
Theory Is that such a rule would prevent a boxer from being assaulted
before he has a few moments to shake the cobwebs off his brain.
A Little Time For Head-Shaking
That latter proposal would, in effect, cause the time-honored "pro
tect yourself at all times" admonition to be Junked. A fighter knocked
down could gel to his feet at the count of one or two and still hove
several seconds to re-orlent himself.
However, it would certainly slow up the sport and probably would
draw the overwhelming disapproval of fans and fighters alike If a
boxer has an advantage it s to his profit to follow It up. If his opponent
needs a moment to calm the butterflies In his head he can do It on
the canvas. The eight-count suggestion will not get far
