Any confirmation about Turkilency's plan of reducing the size of the ring?

I'm sure you know what I'm hinting at.

What's your opinion on this?

Is it a good idea to reduce the size of the ring to avoid too much running in boxing?

We can't complain about the weather all the time and not do anything about it.

I think they should stick to the standard 20x20. No more 22’. Maybe go 18x18 at the smallest.

I remember watching MBilli fight Desmond Nicholson in Canada , and every time Nicholson took a step back and he wasn’t “running”, he was basically already on the ropes in what I believe was a 16x16 ring. I know we don’t want “runners” but that’s definitely too small, and I wouldn’t want personally.

Go 18’ x 18’, Your Excellency.

And maybe even experiment with 16’ x 16’ like they used to have back in the 1920’s through 1940’s. Let’s see how viable that is.

No Tom and Jerrys would survive that.

how about no clinching/holding as well. Or at the very least penalize them fast for excessive clinching/holding.

I'm all for it. If they're good "boxers" then they can be mobile and not get hit in any size ring.

the runners will adapt and become huggers

Turki wants 18x18 to be the norm

but boxing is all about money

I’m expecting they’ll make 22x22 and 20x20 exceptions when it benefits a massive cash cow a-side

[SouthpawRight]

Can’t find info on ring size for the Artur Bivol fights

I guess trilogy will be 18x18

Turki should do it. He's the one getting slammed by critics when his fights are boring to watch. Why not? I don't see anyone who would stop him from implementing it.
