ANTHONY JOSHUA has suggested boxing could change its rules to introduce “live” scorecards.
The 32-year-old has been outpointed by Oleksandr Usyk in his last two fights.
Anthony Joshua has suggested introducing “live” scorecards in boxing
AJ said live scorecards could show how fights are playing out as they go on, meaning boxers know how many of the remaining rounds they need to win, or if they need to score a knockdown.
Knowing for a fact he was down on the cards could have encouraged Joshua to search harder for a knockout when he fought Usyk.
The judges scorecards currently remain a mystery until the fight winner is announced.
But AJ suggested knowing how the scores stood round-by-round would create a “very competitive environment” within the ring.
He wrote on Instagram: “In so many sports you know who’s winning as the game is progressing.
“In a sense it creates a very competitive environment.”
Joshua asked for people’s thoughts on introducing “visible” scorecards so the fight scenario is clear as the rounds progress.
He continued: “Should boxing introduce live (visible) scorecards so you know, what you need to know, in order to win.

“As there is so much boxing around the world, it can be introduced at any level in order to test it out. Thoughts?”
British boxing fans had been hoping for a mega heavyweight showdown between AJ and WBC champ Tyson Fury on December 3rd.
But the Gypsy King has now declared the fight dead in the water after claiming Joshua missed his Monday deadline to sign a contract.
Fury now looks set to face Manuel Charr instead, while AJ’s next opponent remains a mystery.
SunSport exclusively revealed yesterday that Joe Joyce would like to “bash” up fellow former Team GB Olympian Joshua, after he brutally knocked out Joseph Parker last Saturday.

The basics of boxing are:
- Punching techniques
- Guarding techniques
- Footwork
- Stance
- Moving your body
- Defense
- Combination
- Rotation
- Spare parts
Punching Techniques
There are seven types: Left Hook (right hook), Right Hook (uppercut), Cross (cross), Straight, Overhand, Underhand. Each punch is unique. Some punches need more power than others. An uppercut, for instance, requires tremendous strength. A straight punch, on the other hand requires less power and is quicker than other punches.
There are many combinations of punches. These are combinations of punches which work together to achieve a goal. A combination may contain several parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer protects himself by using his body. He uses his arms, legs, elbows, knees, knees, and feet to do this.
Legs
Boxers should use the legs to protect themselves against kicks. When he receives a kick, he raises his leg and moves away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked in the side, he bends down if the attacker attacks from the front. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.
Elbows
Because they cause great pain, elbow strikes are extremely effective. An elbow strike can be delivered directly or indirectly. Directly means you hit your opponent directly with your forearm. While indirectly, it means you hit him with another section of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands as a shield against incoming punches. They raise their fists high above their heads and point them in the direction of an attack. The attacker’s fist is then in their face.
Knees
Boxers who are subject to a punch to their stomachs, abdomens, or chests should bend at the knees to absorb the impact. For defense purposes, knee strikes are common.
Feet
If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. This way, he can gain distance between himself and his opponent. A boxer must also maintain his balance when responding to an opponent’s counter-attack.
Stances
A boxer must have a stance in order to be effective at boxing. His stance will determine how he defends. It determines where he will face his opponent and how he will position his body. There are many positions that boxers can adopt. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
A boxer must change his position, speed and rhythm in order to win the fight. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.
Rotation
A boxer will rotate his arm when he is throwing a punch. You can rotate at different speeds depending upon the punch.
Combinations
The timing of each individual punch affects the effectiveness or failure of a combination. A combination that works well starts with strong punches and ends with weak ones is a winning combination.
Spare parts
Sparring is a training session that improves boxing skills. During sparring sessions, a boxer trains his mind as well as his body. Sparring is a way to learn how to fight without getting hurt.
You need to have patience and dedication in order to learn how boxing works. Boxing is a sport that requires dedication and perseverance.
