No, it's most definitely not. On the top of the belt if it's at the level of the belly button is legal. But, the belt line has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with a low blow call because the belt line changes with every fighter. It could be too high on one guy and too low on the next. Belly button: that's usually where the belt line is pulled up to these days. However, come from underneath to hit the bottom of the belt line and hitting where it did equates to well below the belt line and legal point of being a low blow.
The belt line is not important to determining a low blow. It's where the belly button is. Anything under that is an official low blow. That's the official boxing rule for a low blow. That hit Judah at around the bottom of the belt line as he was bent over which means well below the belly button.
It was a low blow. But really...who gives a toss? Made no difference and wasn't bad enough to warrant anything else or bad enough to warrant Judah staying down for the full count so he deserved it.Last edited by BennyST; 07-24-2011, 03:50 AM.Comment

Benny with all due respect, Learn the rules
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 beltComment

Clearly a legal shot. Hit him bottom right side on the belt, about pelvis area. It's laughable that anyone can honestly call that a low blowComment
-
Judah was getting a taste and found an easy way out. That is the general concensus.
Time to move on and get AKK in there with so more top 10 competition. Kudos to AmirComment

Even if it was a low blow and Khan got a point deducted, Khan would of knocked Judah out in the next round. A disappointing fight, unless you are a Khan fan.Comment

I thought the punch could have been called either way-it appears to graze slightly below the belt and finish on the lower part of the belt...Ironically,the ref didn't see it at all,yet STILL considered it a legit punch-while Amir was wrenching Zab's neck down.
I would have given Judah his time to rest,so we could have seen a legit KO,because Khan was well on his way to giving Zab one.Instead,we get the last 2 bouts of Khan's to end in controversy.I don't know how people complain about Bradley,when Amir is always pulling dirty tricks deliberately recently.Comment

So, explain to me where the belt line is considered as an average? If I have my trunks up to my chest, can they not hit me below it?
No mate. The belt line, as it's often termed, is the line at the belly button. Trust me, I know the rules and it has nothing to do with the actual belt line, though that is the typical place of the trunks and thus is said to be 'below the belt'. It's why when the ref will point to certain areas of the trunks and says "This here is ok" or "These are too high. Pull 'em down" because they are meant to be at the line of the belly button.
The 'belt line' is officially the belly button. So, with all due respect or not as I don't really give a **** with your patronising ****e as you don't have a godamned clue, the belt line is officially at the height of the belly button.
If you still don't believe it, go ask an official judge.
Or let me put it a more simple way: If it was only the belt line, why do the judges always make sure the belt line isn't above the belly button.
The line for a low blow is the belly button. That most often corresponds with the belt line. That is simple and is where the term belt line comes from.
If you look up official professional boxing rules it's the line of the belly button that the belt line has to be at. Anything under is a low blow. Like I said though, who really cares? It was a weak as hell blow, and Judah *****ed out. Whether it was low or not, he should have gotten up.
Christ....
Edit: on a side note, we're are arguing semantics here. Anything below the belt line is a low blow, unless the belt line (ie the trunks) is above the belly button. The belly button is the same on all of us in general and thus is the line where you can't have your trunks higher than and is why you can't hit below the belt line because they have been put at the belly button. Got it?Last edited by BennyST; 07-24-2011, 04:54 AM.Comment

Ok, unless you're Clark Kent and have x-ray vision, how exactly do you determine where his belly button is?
Shut the **** up you moron, you don't know diddly squat, and stop clogging up this thread with repetitive screeds which give absolutely no insight, just rehashed comments of the same opinion in each paragraph.
