Rules of Boxing

The rules of boxing vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and on whether it is an amateur or professional bout. A violation of the following rules is considered a foul, and can result in a point deduction or disqualification:


You cannot hit below the belt, hold, trip, kick, headbutt, wrestle, bite, spit on, or push your opponent.
You cannot hit with your head, shoulder, forearm, or elbow.
You cannot hit with an open glove, the inside of the glove, the wrist, the backhand, or the side of the hand.
You cannot punch your opponent's back, or the back of his head or neck (rabbit punch), or on the kidneys (kidney punch).
You cannot throw a punch while holding on to the ropes to gain leverage.
You can't hold your opponent and hit him at the same time, or duck so low that your head is below your opponent's belt line.
When the referee breaks you from a clinch, you have to take a full step back; you cannot immediately hit your opponent--that's called "hitting on the break" and is illegal.
You cannot spit out your mouthpiece on purpose to get a rest.
If you score a knockdown of your opponent, you must go to the farthest neutral corner while the referee makes the count.
If you "floor" your opponent, you cannot hit him when he's on the canvas.
A floored boxer has up to ten seconds to get back up on his feet before losing the bout by knockout.
A boxer who is knocked down cannot be saved by the bell in any round, depending upon the local jurisdiction's rules.
A boxer who is hit with an accidental low blow has up to five minutes to recover. If s/he cannot continue after five minutes, s/he is considered knocked out.
If the foul results in an injury that causes the fight to end immediately, the boxer who committed the foul is disqualified.
If the foul causes an injury but the bout continues, the referee orders the judges to deduct two points from the boxer who caused the injury.
If an unintentional foul causes the bout to be stopped immediately, the bout is ruled a "no contest" if four rounds have not been fully completed. (If the bout was scheduled for four rounds, then three rounds must have been completed.) If four rounds have been completed, the judges' scorecards are tallied and the fighter who is ahead on points is awarded a technical decision. If the scores are even, it will be called a "technical draw."
If a boxer is knocked out of the ring, he gets a count of 20 to get back in and on his feet. He cannot be assisted.
In some jurisdictions the standing eight-count or the three knockdown rule also may be in effect.
In other jurisdictions, only the referee can stop the bout.



Take note Floyd

Watch Marquez vs Katsidis and see how you are meant to fight on the inside.

The refs should enforce the rules.

Pro Boxing is a spectator sport and just tying up fighter on the inside spoiling tactics and bending the rules don't make fights good to watch.


Marquez is a pure boxer and so is Pacquiao, there tactic are not based on spoiling. And thats why they have great fights.

Whats is the point of refs if they don't even give warning for repeated offences

i agree with this.

Yes the refs should be doing something about, just like the should stop Ward and Bradley headbutting.

Do you like seeing headbutts and and elbows in fight, I don't, I like seeing boxing.

Just finished rewatching the Floyd/Castillo fight and Floyd was actually deducted a point for using his elbow on Castillo's throat, he got a warning first then a point deducted.

hmmm interesting, thanks!

Just finished rewatching the Floyd/Castillo fight and Floyd was actually deducted a point for using his elbow on Castillo's throat, he got a warning first then a point deducted.

The ref was doing a good job there.


If refs give warning and deducts pts fighter know they can't get away with it and clean up their act making for a more exciting fight.

[Chopper417]

Absolutely miserable thread demonstrating an extreme lack of both boxing and general sports knowledge. This is like saying Michael Jordan wasn't a great pure basketball player because he was constantly pulling his opponent's shorts. Dude had more dirty tricks and tactics that got past refs than almost anybody, and Kobe is the same damn way, but we would never question their ability/greatness because of it. Threads like this are a complete joke.

[jrosales13]

At this point in time headbutts, intentional or not, can stop a great fight from ending in a satisfactory manner. The way Floyd uses his elbow is not
a fight threatening move nor does he use it strike his opponent. The refs, who are much closer to the fighters than anyone watching the event from home, don't consider it an illegal tactic and haven't penalize it in all these years.

I have, however, seen Floyd get warned for putting up/pushing off his elbow by I think it was Joe Cortez, if I'm correct.

WTF is your point?

When has Bradley been penalized by having a point taken away?

So again there is nothing illegal nor dirty about what Bradley is doing since you know the ref are not penalizing him right?

[Chopper417]

Actually you're from the UK so you might not even understand the Jordan comparison. Let me put it more in your terms. Vidic and Rooney are two of the dirtiest futbol players on the planet, would you say they aren't great pure futbol players?

[jtiger78]
