The New York State Athletic Commission now officially has an instant replay policy on its books. The commission implemented the policy earlier this month, bringing its rules in line with recommendations set by the Association of Boxing Commisssions in July, reports Newsday.com . Now, a referee is formally allowed to request and view a fight’s ending sequence, hopefully rendering the correct decision in situations in which the outcome is in question. The review can take place in the time between the fight’s stoppage and the announcement of the official result. An alternate referee can be consulted by the primary referee, but the official call rests with the latter. The fight can not be restarted after an instant replace review.
