Should fighters be deducted points for going backwards; Running from a fight?

[Elastic Recoilz]

Running is not the problem, not throwing punches is. Fighters should be allowed to run as long as they pick their moments to plant their feet and throw shots like Bivol did against Beterbiev. Fighting like Rigondeaux - running away and not looking to throw shots should be penalised

beats losing

We already know how low your standards are

This is already a thing. Refs have the authority to deduct a point for non agression, for refusing to fight, or not engaging with the opponent.

Trick is, you need to articulate where precisely is that line- define it exactly. Because simply "moving backwards" doesnt work. Where is the line for point deduction?

No, that's ridiculous.

You should be punished for not throwing punches for long stretches of time.

Some people fight going backwards
