Boxing Bill Filed Sets Four Round Debut Rule
A bill to place boxing under a single state commission was filed with Representative Lewis R. Sullivan signing the document. The measure limits first year bouts to four three minute rounds, with a later possibility to rise to six rounds. Decisions must be made ringside by a commissioner’s representative and sent to press services in duplicate to curb telephone-press results. Ring platforms require safety standards and three ropes and strict gambling and fixed contest bans.
