If by some miracle they come up with some eye covering that protects the eye, doesn't pose any risk of breaking or being driven back into the socket, and is going to stay in place reasonably well (mouthpieces come out sometimes but it's not a major issue), then of course everyone would be on board.
In the meantime, they could fix the gloves like people have been saying for what seems like a decade now. Referees can take a point every time no matter what, like the article says. The "losing a point means losing the fight" argument doesn't hold up now that they're not so stingy about 10-8 rounds. Maybe that needs to go father. Maybe a 10-8 is the new 10-9 and a 10-9 is reserved for extremely close rounds. Serious beatdowns can be 10-7.
