I've seen some fights where the corner throws in the towel but....

....the ref picks up the towel and throws it back out and lets the fight continue.

When did they stop the "throw in the towel" rule? Or is this only in certain states that don't allow this?

I think the rule as always been at the disgression of the REF

You wouldn't happen to be referring to Mickey Vann during Katsidis-Earl, would you? Thank goodness he did throw that towel back out. We would've missed a stonking few more rounds!
