what is this boxrec program called "BSI" im hearing of ? I hear some US state commissions use it to approve or disapprove of bouts. I hear it takes a fighters records, age, etc into account and spit out a number if it will be approved or not..
Anyone hear of this ??

Boxer Severity Index
https://www.abcboxing.com/minimum-medic ... ity-index/
It tallies-up a number of basic and fairly oversimplified risk factors to estimate a fighter's vulnerability towards suffering head injury in future fights.
1) ACTIVITY (fights in the last 2 years)
1 (or less) +1
2) RECENT RECORD
Lost 5 or more in a row +2
Lost 3 of last 4 +1
Won 3 of last 4 -1
3) KO or TKO
More than 4 in last 2 years +3
3 or less in last 2 years +2
Last fight by KO +1
4) Age
Greater than 44 +2
Greater than 35 +1
5) RING AGE
Greater than 500 rounds +1
Amateur experience
Each fight = 1 pro round
Greater than 5 years +1
TOTAL SCORE:
+3 – +4 = High Risk Category “C”
+5 – +6 = High Risk Category “B”
+7 – +9 = High Risk Category “A”
Categories A, B, and C indicate the fighter needs further clinical evaluation by the commission and their medical advisory board before licensure. This scale is not meant to replace good judgment, but to be utilized as one objective tool to determine suitability to compete.
In the event that the BSI does indicate that the fighter needs further clinical evaluation...
