According to a new rule passed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission Wednesday, referees in Nevada now have the opportunity to get a second look at a fight's end to determine its legality.
The final wording as passed: "A referee at the conclusion of a contest or exhibition stopped immediately due to an injury to an unarmed combatant pursuant to NAC 467.718 and after making a decision, may view a replay if available in order to determine whether the injury in question was caused a legal blow or a foul."
The rule addresses several controversial stoppages in recent history where a fighter lost a contest because the referee couldn't see an injury that forced a bout's stoppage.
A referee may now use instant replay to determine whether the action that caused the injury was legal or a foul and make a decision on the fight's result. Only a referee can decide whether to order a replay.
This is good news for events at the Mandalay... but the thing is, this is a rule approved by the NSC, will this be in effect for events held elsewhere?

Yeah I saw this story the other day but wasn't sure if it was post worthy since it's only for injuries. I don't think it will be used anywhere else outside of Nevada yet.

Well it's not just for injuries, it's like the picture in the article, that was given as a TKO when it was an eyepoke, if theres a doubt, the ref can go to the replay.
