OP I think (c) refers to the action the ref can take when the fighter is up early i.e. the ref doesn't have to let his opponent go at him immediately just because he's up.
It isn't saying the fighter has to be up by or on 8 as evinced by the later reference in (e):
If the Referee determines that the contestant is on his feet and fit to continue the fight before he reaches the ten count, he shall indicate to the timekeeper to ring the bell and the round will thereupon terminate.
Awkwardly written rules all round.

It states the fighter has to be on his feet by the count of 8. Not 9, not 10. I know that's ******ed, I agree it's ******ed [it's a 10 count ffs] but I'm not spouting BS but quoting the rules as written.

It says the ref can examine the situation if up by 8,,,,
then it says if the fighter not up by 10.. yada yada
so.... is it saying the ref CANT examine a situation if a fighter gets up by 9? lol
and.. if the ref can't examine a situation, what does he do? Wave the fight to continue without examining the fighter, or just wave the fight off? Also, if its all about ten, why did they even mention 8 in the rules?
whoever wrote that needs a labotomy

Clause (c) is where the referee is guided to deciding whether a contestant has beaten the count or not. Nothing else.

c) If, when reaching the count of eight (8), the fighter is up, the Referee, if he deems it necessary, may examine said contestant taking all the time needed to evaluate whether the contestant is fit to continue. If the Referee determines that the fighter is fit to continue, the Referee shall promptly order the contest to continueLast edited by Weebler I; 07-22-2013, 09:38 AM.

Because it seems to say he can only do that if up by 8...
