Boxing in general made ZERO improvements to the sport. I shouldn’t say that. NY did make some improvements to govern boxer’s health inside the ring in hopes to avoid another catastrophic injury to a participant. But the way that boxing is currently scored while continually ignoring the use of Instant Replay to correct or assist decisions in the ring is why this sport will always be considered corrupt. Couple that with the horrendous decisions we continually see each year in huge fights boggles the mind.

I’d sure like to see at least SOME effort to improve this sport in the way it’s judged and governed. Where winners are honestly determined and rewarded for putting their lives on the line. That’s the type of improvement that only interests me.
Excellent. No need for other words. :TU:

Boxing Writer wrote: 08 Jan 2019, 06:35 Disagree on Fury simply because he was incredibly good before - even better than he is now. It's not improvement, it's just getting in shape. I'd say Dillian Whyte deserves a mention here. Scored two brutal KTFOs and beat former WBO champ in Parker.
Look at Fury on December 31, 2017 and then again December 31, 2018. If that isn't improvement, I don't what is.
That's a comeback not an improvement.

As others have said Josh Warrington wins this. Last year he had a close'ish fight with an old Kiko then this year he dominated Selby and clearly beat Frampton.
