This reminds me of when the Nobel Prize-winning physicist John Schrieffer (of the BCS theory) was jailed under similar circumstances.

Holy moley has that guy changed. I remember watching him fight. He was OK, but he was way more hype than substance. People with money piss me off.
Related to Boxing Finally Embraces Unified Rules After Years of Neglect
1. What are the unified rules in boxing?
The unified rules in boxing refer to a set of standardized regulations and guidelines that govern the sport. These rules were developed in 2005 by the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC) in order to create a consistent and fair framework for all professional boxing matches.
2. Why did it take so long for boxing to embrace unified rules?
Boxing is a highly regulated sport with a long history, and different states and countries have had their own individual rules and regulations. This led to confusion and controversy, making it difficult for boxers to compete across different regions. It took years of negotiations and discussions for all parties involved to come to an agreement on the unified rules.
3. What changes have been made to the unified rules?
The unified rules include a number of changes, including stricter regulations on fouls and the use of performance-enhancing drugs, as well as a standardized scoring system and weight classes. For example, the new rules prohibit boxers from using their heads, shoulders, elbows, or forearms to strike their opponent.
4. How will the unified rules benefit the sport of boxing?
The unified rules are expected to bring more consistency and fairness to the sport of boxing, making it easier for boxers to compete across different regions and for fans to understand the rules and scoring. It may also help to reduce controversies and disputes in matches, leading to a better overall experience for everyone involved.
5. Will all boxing matches now follow the unified rules?
While the unified rules have been officially adopted by the ABC, it is up to individual states and countries to enforce them. So, not all boxing matches may follow the unified rules, but it is expected that most professional boxing organizations will adopt them in order to bring more consistency to the sport.
