    Has a Fighter Ever Had a Point Deducted For Bending at the Waist?

    Now I know this is said to be an illegal move, but I have never seen a point taken for this. Any one seen this?

      Don't think so. I do remember a point deduction for kissing, though.

        I wish I could remember the fight, but I saw it happen during an ESPN FNF fight. I was pretty shocked that a ref finally called out someone for it.

          A friend of mine was once disqualified for bobing and weaving, he didn't did anything illegal it was just that the referee ******.

            He did touch the canvas with his knee. I remember a picture of him crouched down with one knee touching the canvas in a fight. He got away with it because he was a big boxing star.

                But why would that be illegal?

                  you cant bend below your opponents waist. so bobing and weacing like tyson is cool but straight up bending at the waist to duck your head below your opponents line of striking* is illegal.

                  *hate this word for boxing but best describes what I am trying to say here.
