why is holding and hitting below the belt illegal?

If you watch boxers that hold and hit then you wouldn’t want to watch boxing. For example, please go watch Wladimir v Pedvetkin.

Welp, that’s what Floyd did Name all these fights Floyd held in, lets discuss it

yeah, a fight full of holding would be SUPER entertaining ******. Welp, that’s what Floyd did

If these tactics were made legal; we would see some of the greatest entertainment in boxing history! Let me hit you below the belt troll

Because they pay taxes on their winnings is the truest answer. This is true :lol1:

Why is it called professional prizefighting ? Because they pay taxes on their winnings is the truest answer.

I know everyone has their own opinion on it, but I think it’s super corny when people say someone on “PEDs” could kill someone in the ring. There’s no world where Big Baby can take all the gear he wants and hit harder than say a Wilder or a Mike Tyson. Yeah peds are cheating and give u an advantage, but how can u say u are more scared or intimidated of a mediocre fighter and his power cause he’s on peds than fighting a more skilled fighter who hits harder regardless? Course when the best and hardest hitters take it then that’s scary. But to tie it all in to low blows, sometimes several real good heaters to the cup are missed in fights. Sometimes several get to happen with no point deductions. Sometimes they are deliberate. We just say that’s clever boxing if they get away with it? There’s no retroactive loss if a guy landed a bunch on tape. Every guy knows what it feels like to get hit in the junk. U can test positive for sum gear months and even a year after u have been off. But low blows happen during the actual fight and have instant effect. There’s so many cuts due to head clashes that effect fights. Chris Byrd on peds or a heater to the cup from Mike Tyson? I just think there’s a lot of delusion there. It’s not like the amount of “unintentional headbutts” a fighter is involved in is recorded. Man that's a pretty good statement.

Dang I remember Lou duva put a pair of trunks on a heavy bag for Andrew!!! Lol Right. They should have had him spar in waist deep water.

Ding! You win the Pony. Dang I remember Lou duva put a pair of trunks on a heavy bag for Andrew!!!

Andrew golota Ding! You win the Pony.

I know you are lyin' but I love to hear you say it :lol1:

Because getting low balled is a painful experience and would properly stop you having kid’s Down the line. Holding is not boxing and if there is no rule to break it turns into 36 minutes of cuddling

the early UFCs, hitting to the nuts were legal, Keith Hackney destroyed Joe Son with nut shots. Joe Son went from being a religious nutjob to a sadistic rapist/murderer... Is there any video footage to back that up? I know it's like watching a train wreck in slow motion, but I think I saw that fight, it was brutal to say the least. Forgive me man, I'm just curious as a fight fan. Enough of this dirty fouling stuff after that.lol.

Because that stuff hurts and is annoying. Even in the waistline and hipbone area. I used to hate getting punched in those spots when I would spar regularly. Exactly. A hard shot to the hip dropped me once, I didn’t even know what happened.

Who in the hell would be a pro boxer if his opponent could hold him and hit him in the balls as much as he wanted to? Andrew golota
