Is it against boxing rules to throw 2 hands at once?

im pretty sure it is....

[jaded]

it's not illegal...Samuel Peter had a point deduction for slapping Toney with 2 hands on the sides of his head after the ref called break while leaning back on the ropes...but Pac wasn't doing anything wrong.

Protect yourself at all time, I mean protect your 0 at all time LOL.

[SplitSecond]

* 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.

holy fsck.. can't believe the length a fscking hater would go.. but then again these things are pretty much the norm for a *****.. so go ahead.. hate away..

[Teedoe3]

Nope. Its not illegal in boxing

[Jose Rizal]

If anyone had to be docked a point or DQ'ed, it has gotta be Clottey for offering himself as a heavy bag and not showing up to fight. Ref should've been on his case all night.

[Brother Jay]

It absolutely is not legal.

I touched upon this is response to the thread " Pacquiao says Floyd was dirty".

Pacquiao executes a double bolo punch. Its illegal as its illegal to punch with both hands at the same time.

Allowing fighters to do that opens up dirty tactics that predate the Marquis of Queensbury rules.

Call Mayweather what you want, but what he did was actually legal. Pacquiao cheats with that kung fu bull****.

And isn't it sad to read that the peasants don't even know the rules of the sport that they claim to be fans of? It pathetic.

They don't know the rules but feel confident when pontificating about **** that they have no idea about.

Sounds about right.
