World Series of Boxing Rules Finalized
All World Series of Boxing (WSB) teams today received copies of the final competition rules. Developed by experts, these rules will assist franchises in their preparations for the start of the season and help to prepare the boxers for their first competitive bouts of the Regular Season, which starts on November 19th.
The rules include a ranking procedure for the teams as well as the individual boxers.
Teams will be attributed three points for a 5-0 or 4-1 score at each match and the losing team will score no points. For a 3-2 result the winning team will get three points and the losing team will get one point. In the event of a draw, both teams will be awarded two points.
The team ranking used to determine the semi-finalists will be decided by the highest number of points won during the regular season. In the event that teams have an equal number of points, the ranking will be decided by the greater number of matches won. If the teams are still tied then the greater number of bouts won and, ultimately, the superior number of bouts won among the teams in question will be taken into account.
The best runner-up across all conferences will be determined according to the superior number of ranking points, or in the event of a tie on points the greater number of matches. If the teams are still tied, then the greater number of bouts won will be taken into account.
During the regular season an individual ranking will be established for boxers in each weight category. This all-important ranking will be used to determine the top individual boxers who will go through to the Individual Championships and a chance to qualify directly for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The ranking will be decided by the highest number of wins during the regular season. If boxers are tied on wins, then the formal for determining the ranking is as follows (in order of priority):
1) Number of bouts competed in (the boxer with a greater percentage of victories is ranked higher)
2) If the boxers are from the same conference, the head to head results are taken into account
3) The greater number of bouts won in away matches during the Regular Season
4) The greater number of points per judge obtained in victories. Fifty points per judge are awarded for knock-outs
5) The lesser number of warnings during the Regular Season
The Individual Finals will be held during the last weekend of May in Macau over two consecutive evenings. The first evening will feature the first three weight categories and the second will feature the remaining two.

Floyd Mayweather, victimized or getting just what he deserves? - Pittsburgh Fight Sports | Examiner.com
Floyd Mayweather, victimized or getting just what he deserves? - Pittsburgh Fight Sports Examiner.com
After being arrested on charges of grand larceny early this morning, Floyd Mayweather's public image could scarcely be any worse right about now. Only last week he was making headlines for racial insults hurled at long time rival Manny Pacquiao, and things seem to have gone downhill for the former pound for pound king since.
Obviously as far as his recent video appearances go, he is getting exactly what he deserves with the criticism he has attracted. Regardless of whether he or his father Floyd Sr thought he was saying anything offensive or not, he still did, and didn't have the sense not to broadcast his little speech on the internet to thousands of watching fans.
Ignorance of what offends people is hardly any defense in this case, and his subsequent apology really didn't make things any better either. Few saw it as a genuine display of remorse, and as a result several groups have since publicly condemned Mayweather for his actions.
That aside, the portrayal of Mayweather as the jealous boyfriend type by his former girlfriend and mother of three of his four children seems a little strange, as does the timing.
One minute Floyd is on his year long vacation, jetting all over the world, wasting money left right and center, and generally not looking too concerned with anything going on in his adoptive home of Las Vegas.
He then returns home, makes his offensive and idiotic home movies while hanging out with his friends in his mansion, and again maintains that he is in the middle of a year long vacation.
Then he finds out his on again off again girlfriend of some fifteen years is now seeing another man, goes to her house and attacks her in the middle of the night before stealing her phone?
The alleged theft of which incidentally, is a lot less impressive than the charge of 'grand' larceny makes it sound.
The woman in question did accuse Mayweather of something similar in the past, but before the trial dropped the charges, so her credibility isn't beyond question to say the least.
Couple this with the fact that Mayweather was already in the middle of a public image crisis over his racist comments and the timing seems strange to say the least.
Not that Mayweather has a huge amount of common sense it seems, but you would have thought he might have been laying low until the controversy surrounding his video appearances died down right now. That is instead of airing any grievances he has with a woman who has already accused him of battery in the past.
