unwritten rules of boxing

[Sweet Pea 50]

Don't try to play romper room, get called on it, try to play kissey face, and not expect to get two pieced when the ref calls the fight back into action.

I mean, there are people paying 70$ for this shit.

[UTEP]

If the PPV cost's 75 dollars, you better not stink up the joint.

try not to weight drain anybody either.

I completely understand that you need body work to tire an opponent & break them down mentally.

But if you are punching the body all fight & neglect the head, dont think JUDGES are going to give you the nod.

You misunderstand my post so leave this thread

I was a judge and scored every clear body shot that I ever saw landed.

I want to stay in the loop here only because you told me to leave, as a matter of fact I shall subscribe to this thread with it's obvious brilliance.

Any fighter that fights that way, only throwing body punches in bouts, would have to be ignorant, suicidal or just that good. Don't count on the 'just that good' part to come any time soon.

Good body work will open things up that were not open without it.

lol, you may vacate the thread now.......... Rockin'

Why do you repeat yourself when i've obviously understood your point yet you don't mine.

Go away you creep.

Really weird guy.

Compu-Box body punch stats should only be verified, in triple certificate form, by Rockin.

Because lord knows, nobody can verify a true body shot like him.

Nobody knows shit, except Jackie and the Galaxy.

Everybody, log off.

Because he is going to talk shit about a forum that he has multiple thousands of posts on, with the added bonus of people he knows that talk shit about the same boxing forum he has multiple thousands of posts on.

I mean, divide by zero? Impossible, you say?

Rockin disproves this theory every time he posts on here.

I find it amusing how people are acting like there has never been a dodgy decision in boxing....

It is amusing that people like you find dodgy boxing decisions amusing. It's the outcry that keeps boxing from going totally shyte. But I guess some people do get off on shyte.

Obvious things in boxing.

- Don't give the referee a chance to call it off , get up on 8 or earlier. Its enough time to gather yourself and the ref can't call it early then.

- When fighting in a different country, the judges are most often biased so you are either going to have to win the fight convincingly or KO the opponent.

- If you have been given a gift in your last fight you need to win the next fight convincingly, judges do feel pressure & bias like any other human.

- Body punches rarely ever get counted by judges so don't expect to win a fight based solely on those.

- Fighters often do steal rounds by late flurries in the last 30 seconds of the round so watch out for that

- If you are not the draw or a a cash cow, don't expect judges to give you the nod in a closely fought contest

Completely agree with this. I think the judging bias is usually unconscious, although no less real because of that.

In regards to the body punches I think the obvious problem is being able to tell on first sight, as it happens, whether the punch landed or hit the elbow and arm. A clean punch to head often snaps the head back or rotates it to side but a clean body punch that doesn't elicit an obvious response from the victim will cast doubt about whether it actually landed clean or not.

I'm not saying its right, i'm saying it happens & it happens regularly.

Feel free to elaborate.....
