WHAT WOULD IT TAKE to breathe life into the sport of professional boxing? In Metathesiophobia (fear of change), the revised edition of The Death of Professional Boxing, long-time professional referee Roger Yanez, analyzes the reasons why boxing lacks the fan base other sports enjoy, and why boxers are some of the lowest-paid professional athletes. Although Yanez-who refereed more than 3,000 professional bouts in his career spanning almost five decades-makes sharp criticism of the factors that have sent boxing to a defunct state, the minor administrative changes he's been proposing for decades seek to bring boxing to the high audience and revenue levels as other professional sports. Yanez believes that the most important measure to resurrect boxing resides in the way professional fights are scored. His book presents a proven method that, if implemented, will bring respect to the boxing fans, credibility to the sport, and ultimately make boxing the biggest winner.
