if you duck your head down and leave it there you can be stopped. this does happen. it's just not professional to keep your head ducked down like that. you can't even seen your opponent if you keep your head there. turning your head away is what somebody does when they spar before they're ready.

Just cause you post examples if people breaking the rules doesn't make it legal.
I can videos of people clinching excessively, would that make it legal?
I can show videos of fighters landing low blows would that make it legal?
I can show you videos of people running red lights , would that make it legal?
Just cause I ref fails to do his job doesn't mean it isn't an illegal move.

"There are some Queensbury Rules that are not considered that big of a deal, so the commissions(particularly the NSAC) choose not to include them, because they don't consider them relevant.
Ducking below the waistline is one of them. "

I can't tell if a punch landed or not but if it did, it should had been ruled a KD since the ropes helped him stay up. Im talking about @1:30. And Im pretty sure a right landed there too.
PS Sweet Pea is who Floyd wishes he was.

Or do you mean skill wise? Even then that's an ignorant statement because Mayweather was equally as well rounded as Whitaker, and he certainly didn't showboat in very close fights either which might be the only thing I'd knock about Whitaker's game.Last edited by Doctor_Tenma; 07-06-2015, 08:41 PM.
