Some boxing questions:

1) Standing eight count, did they get rid of it? If so, why?

2) What are all these "International" and "Intercontinental" titles in boxing? What is their purpose, what are they for?

1 - similar to what happens in an MMA fight and both guys get stood up prematurely, it can disrupt the flow of a fight with a direct detriment coming since the judges likely have to score it as a knockdown.

2 - see above. It is a cash grab.
