Because boxing is entertainment and deducting points for tacky **** ruins the flow of the fight.

How come Sweet Pea never lost a point for bending below the waist?

Because no one gives a damn about that as a lot of fighters do it..It only became an issue when Floyd did it

I think a ref would be embarrassed to take a point because it's simply not done, and because it's a silly thing to enforce. You can't land any good punches from down there. You simply use it for defense but it's not without it's dangers. You can get clean ko'd leaning like that.

It's natural to face the ground when bobbing for a novice. Good trainers will tell you to always face the opponent.
If you're limber and talented enough you can bend super low and never really expose your head like Sweet Pea. Nobody envisioned the application however long ago the rule was made. It has little to do with the waist but moreso intended for vision.
Clinching is against the rules as well, but rarely enforced until it becomes holding. The fear is holding and hitting (as well as extended periods of no action) which is why the rule is interpretated like it is.
Yea sure lol.
Never heard of anyone in Boxing history. Curious to hear from those that know more than I do.
