The AIBA Executive Committee meeting today adopted the basic
principles of the future World Series of Boxing Technical and
Competition Rules. The rules have been designed with a view to
ensuring spectacular boxing shows while giving top priority to the
safety of the WSB boxers.
The WSB will be open to AIBA registered boxers between the ages
of 18 and 35. There will be five weight categories: Bantam (54kg),
Light (61kg), Middle (73kg), Light heavy (85kg) and Heavy (+91kg)
and the weigh-in for the competition will take place 24-30 hours
before the start of the first bout.
There will be 5 rounds of 3 minutes in the team competition and
7 rounds of 3 minutes in the Individual Championships. Match
decisions will be based on points, Technical Knock-Outs, Knock-Outs
and disqualifications - there will be no draws.
A new computerised scoring display with electronic input is being
studied in order to provide an open scoring system that will be
based on the so-called 10-point "Must System" (10-9, 10-8, 10-7, to
indicate the winner of each round and rank the second-placed boxer
based on the level of their performance). Scores will be publicly
displayed at the end of each round and at the conclusion of the
bout. The scores will be given by three judges seated ringside.
