Standing 8 Count?

[keystone30pack]

Its a saftey iussue. With the Association Of Boxing Commisions unified rules, which I am proud to be a part of, there is no standing 8 count for this reason. If a man is being hurt enough to have to step in then the fight should just be stopped. What is the point of having him sustain the damage and then stepping in and giving him 8 seconds to recover. What damage was done will still be present in the fighter after the count. It is about keeping it safe and not letting him continue in HOPES that he will get better. Its better to err on the side of saftey then to let it go and have him possibly seriously injured.

8 seconds will not stop a hemmorage or bleeding of the brain. If they are being beaten then stop it and let them come back to fight another day speaking the same way tomorrow as they did the day of the fight.

Rockin'

thanks rockin'

i understand what your are saying

i guess its just every now and then i'll see a premature stoppage especially if the punches are not all that clean

and i just wonder if a standing 8 count could've have given the guy the benefit of the doubt

but when a guy is clearly getting pummeled it's pointless like you said - live to fight another day

how does a standing eight count go into effect? the only one ive ever seen was in wlad/brewster when wlad got a standing 8 count.

what has to happen for a standing 8 count to be called?

This is incorrect.

Wlad ate a big left hook and fell right back into the ropes.

If the ropes are the only thing holding you up, it's a knock down.

That wasn't a standing 8 count.
