The Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Authority made several changes for 2011 and the rumor mill is churning once again about more changes in the pipeline. Which change do you want to see? Not on the list? Leave a comment!

So, I would rather have one set of rules for an amateur to follow, whether he fights in KY or IN. That way he can train to fight and not have to remember what state he will be fighting in.
Currently, Indiana does not allow elbows for amateurs but does mandate bloodwork. Both follow the ABC recommendations

I am all for bloodwork and elbows. Bloodwork is just the logical step in progressing and if professionals are required to maintain bloodwork so should ammys. If elbows are allowed for professionals, why not amateurs? MMA is what it is, a combat/contact sport.

If there is NO separation of professional and amateurs "other" than money, you will have a lot more injuries.Elbows are designed to "cut." Cuts can END careers!!! At the local level, (especially amateurs) elbows are a huge risk to the fighter & the promotion. I would like to see elbows done away with all together, (Strikeforce rules) but Zuffa will never take them away and Zuffa rules the MMA world! Everyone wants the UFC to come to their state/town/city! less
