Why arent spinning back fists or jumping punches allowed in boxing?

[hectari]

I think they need to change the rules and allow spinning back fists it will change the game and bring more excitement

Spinning back fists are not allowed because the rule is no hitting with the BACK OF THE FIST or no RABBIT PUNCHING or the RIDGE OF THE HAND (like in karate chop) also...but the jumping punches, should be ok, no rules are being broken.

THe only area allowed to hit the opponent is the FRONT OF THE FIST AREA from the top of the knuckles to the middle joints of the fingers.

You also think Jeff Horn is the best boxer in the world PFP when he just isn't. Forget about it because they aren't going to change the rules of boxing just for you. Back hand blows haven't been allowed in boxing for at least a hundred years and that's not going to change. There is no rule in boxing against jumping punches. They are perfectly legal in boxing. You seldom if ever see pro boxers use jumping punches because it is such a poor tactic. No good boxer is going to get hit with a jumping punch because they can see it coming long before it gets there. If a boxer throws a leaping punch he is wide open and in mid air and very easy to knock down which will cost him 2 points. Understand that pro boxers can legally throw all the leaping punches they want to. They just don't want to throw them for the reasons I explained. Even in the MMA those leaping punches almost always miss. Floyd Patterson legally used a leaping left hook and was very good with it and scored KOs with it. He was the exception and most boxers can't use leaping punches to good effect.

Hi hater, why do you hate Jeff Horn because he is white? he beat Manny Pac fair and square if the ref didnt deduct points thats ont he ref, Pac should have fought back dirty if the ref wasnt fair

You talk all this bs yet your boy Pacquiao used illegal tactics is this punch standard boxing dude? no

Probably because it's ****ing ****** and makes no sense.

When someone told me they do that in UFC I thought he was pulling my leg but no they actually use that stuff as a real attempt at punching.

Unbelievable.

Jumping punches are allowed

Turning your back to your opponent is never allowed . One of the reasons why is because a punch to the back of the head is so dangerous

Action-wise, you'd have to change your form to integrate it and if you've watched muay thai, it's not nearly as nice to watch as boxing, IMO.

Also, boxing gloves don't support that area. They'd have to change the gloves and it would mean either bigger gloves, or less support in the knuckle, leading to more injuries.

it's low brow and not sporting. you lose sight of your opponent and are likely to hit him with your elbow or your wrist. if you watch spinning backfist knockouts in MMA they're often of that variety. and aren't common in higher levels of the sport because they're amateurish.


it's also against boxing rules, obviously, as the knuckles are not the primary point of contact, you can't turn your back to your opponent, etc.


as far as i know you can leave your feet, it's just not used bcause it's ****** and amateurish and will get you knocked spark out.


i wouldn't expect a serious boxing fan to even ask these quesitons, frankly. you should know the answer.

Chavez dropped the slick bruva Roger Mayweather with a superman punch. I'm not kidding, google it.
