    Low Blows

    I hate seeing a referee keep giving warnings to a boxer for low blows. Taking a point away is the only kind of warning that is likely to make the low blows stop. The rules of boxing don't say you are entitled to one free low blow, much less repeated low blows.

    The ref never seems to take a point on the FIRST one...

      The rules do say that you have to give a fighter at least 1 warning before taking away a point for a foul unless the foul was blatant.

        so a low blow is like a mulligan on the golf course?

        you might as well use it sometime, since you get a freebie... i mean it couldnt hurt (you of course) right??



        thats garbage IMO

          Those are the rules and I think it's OK because the low blow could've been accidental, a fighters' head could be pulled down, it could deflect off the elbows etc.

            bring on the replay then....

            after the round, review it and if it was accidental, warning and if it was on purpose, deduction

              Instant replay should definitely be a part of boxing.
