The WBC has used Instant Replay for the last five years with great results,
we are very happy to be working together with the highly prestigious TV
network, HBO, for this historic event.”
“The WBC has always been at the forefront of advancing boxing either
through medical safety standards and technology as well as the overall
betterment of the sport. This is just another example of the WBC helping
boxing take another step forward,” stated DiBella Entertainment’s V.P.
Ron Rizzo.
“We are supportive of this initiative and happy to lend technical
assistance so the
officials can make their determinations,” said Rick Bernstein, executive
producer, HBO Sports. “Instant replay can be a valuable asset since
everybody’s goal is to have the correct call.”
“I will never forget when everyone criticized Don Jose Sulaiman,
President of the WBC, when he changed the distance of world championship
fights from 15 rounds to 12 rounds. Now, every major sanctioning body
follows that same rule for championship bouts. Hopefully for the good of
boxing, everyone will follow him and use instant replay to avoid any
more controversies in our beloved sport”
