is it illegal to hit in the body in amature boxing?

**Rockin'** · 04-14-2005, 07:18 PM

No, it is not. Any shot on the naval or abve is a scoring blow as long as it is landed on the front of the body. I award points everytime I see a body shot land, however it seems that many amatuers judges over look them..........Rockin'

thanks rockin. my friend/sparing partner told me that i should not hit him in the body because in a amature fight i'll get DQ. he probally has a weak core and didnt want to get hit there.

rockin can u tell me the average hieght for a middle weight fighter. Iam 5'10

**Rockin'** · 04-14-2005, 07:39 PM

Gattz, Id say that your a little on the short side, but still average. Good fighters come in all shape and sizes however. Except of course when you look and fight like Butterbean.............Rockin'

Wats up Rockin. Damn I never knew they scheduled 1 minute rounds.
my first fight(that I lost btw) was scheduled 3 round 2 minutes each. Now i feel like i got cheated....again.

I know back in a day there used to be 2 round 3 minutes each and they fought without headgear.
