Should A Lowblow Be Grounds For An Immediate DQ?

I think it should depend on the fight. I mean, if a fighter is notorious for such offenses then yes, he should be dq'd or, if it is blantant and apparant that it was done on purpose. But, I think like someone said then all fighters would claim accidental even if it were on purpose. I do think Cotto deserved to have more than just one point deducted for the second low blow because watching, there was nothing accidenatl about it. IMO.

No it shouldnt cos it can happen accidentally.

NO...... The odd Foul is part of boxing.. If there is an obvious attempt to injure.. i.e. Tyson Biting Holyfeild or Trying to break That Big irish Fuckers arm(cant think of his name) then OK... But a Little rough-housing, intentional or not.. Is a Good stratagey.. Against certain fighters For sure Welter it's part of boxing. Even though low blows and certain fouls shouldn't be done there are times when maybe it comes in handy. Because in the Cotto/Judah fight if Cotto was really hurt the first low blow was a good strategic move to get his senses back and recover even if some people felt it was wrong.

no, i don't see why there's so much fuss about the judah cotto fight, the first "low blow" was a bodyshot and this could clearly be seen from the replay, Even the commentators were puzzled and asking why zab would act like such a pussy whilst on the offensive. Cotto deserved the point deduction for the second low blow.

No. But I do think after one warning the next violation should automatically result in points being deducted.

i thought therre should have been more points deducted in Cotto.Judah.

If that were the case Nard would have been disqualified about thirty something times, and he would have been expelled from boxing when he fought Keith Holmes. Nobody attacked the groin like he did/does. I don't know but I might have counted 100 deliberate low blows. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

Ever since Max Schmeling won the vacant heavyweight crown on a DQ against Jack Sharkey low blows have not been grounds for disqualification. not really bobby pacquiao got DQ recently for low blows...

Due to all the comments on the Cotto/Judah contest about this issue. I'm wondering if you all think that boxing's current handling of this degree of fouling is sufficient? Is a single point on the cards compensation enough for causing a fighter on the offensive emasculating pain and stopping his ever so important momentum dead in its tracks? You have other avenues with holding and taking a knee to avoid punishment, why hit below the belt? The argument has been made that this type of foul cost Floyd a late stoppage of Zab (which would've been a nice accumulative show of power).. and of course the argument has been made that this cost Judah an early disposing of Cotto. Being that this foul can alter the outcome of a fight, should more be done to counteract its effects? if that were the case then they would have to consider the same for headbutts. the intentional headbutt from judah on cotto also altered the fight. in between rounds cotto complained of not being able to see from one eye.

Fuck no, not a stoppage, a point deduction for the second one is ok. If one fighter holds the other down, who throws an upercut, you have an instant lowblow.

That is a good argument. Maybe a fighter who gets balled should be aided significantly when he's hit several times. The first and maybe second time could be determined as accidents and the ref could be lenient or firm.. after that, the fight can be stopped at his discretion.

its part of boxing, how can you differentiate between a purposeful low blow and an accidental one. If they change the rules to allow disqualification, fighters who want to do it will just make it look more like an accident. Tyson used to forearm people in the face along the ropes, that is much worse.
