Poll: Is this Punch Legal or Illegal?

[NC Uppercut]

Looked like Canelo was rolling with the punch to me

[daggum]

yes he should have been dq'd and he should have known that canelo was going to move like that and turn his head.

EDIT - I added the ACTUAL point of impact... the picture sorry a$$ Robbie posted is a different punch.

Both guys whack each other on the same spot.

If you are a Canelo fan you call it a foul. This punch did not change anything in the fight.

canelo back-rolled the punch. defensive mastery. only way ggg could hit him is via illegal means. coward

Doesn't matter, Canelo didn't even feel that shit.

Perfectly legal. When some punches you in the face don't turn your head.

A violation of the following rules is considered a foul

You cannot punch your opponent's back, or the back of his head or neck (rabbit punch), or on the kidneys (kidney punch).

Anyone voting legal is showing they don't know the rules of boxing. Simple as.

that punch would be legal too. "Back of head" means relative to the orientation of your shoulders, obviously...

You can't get a guy DQ'd by simply turning your head every time he punches you.

I've noticed all your posts suk ballz

when you hit someone as they are turning their head. it is no longer illegal.

or else someone can just turn the back of their head when you're about to throw and win by DQ. it would be a legit tactic.

The punch landed Awkwardly because Canelo was lying on the ropes and slightly dipped sideways, while exposing part of the back of his back. The punch was legal. Had he turned all the way around then the punch would have been illegal.
