Should Ward's low blows, headbutts, elbows and excessive holding be illegal?

Rough House tactics are apart of boxing.

Pretty sure they are against the rules.

Pretty sure they are against the rules.

They are a vital skill, a lost art in the game.There used to be a you tube channel, where I think? A America old school trainer, would explain and demonstrate rough house tactics 'He would explain how Mike Tyson would sometimes turn a hook, into a elbow etc' Yes they may be against the rules, but sometimes during a fight you have to push the boundaries 'In order to survive'.

Ward was a VERY dirty boxer.

But he was clever with it.

Hi legacy will be that he was terrible to watch, hid in Oakland for 99% of his career and won most of his fights via low blows.

Nope, they have been against the rules since the conception of boxing.


If you like all that stuff go watch MMA.
If the fighters like doing that, take it to MMA.

Floyd Mayweather, Bernard Hopkins, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield all knew when and where to use rough house tactics.

Whether you like it or not, they are a vital skill.

Like it or not they are against the rules of boxing, and should be controlled and punished by the referee.

Marquess of Queensberry rules


Rule 1—To be a fair stand-up boxing match in a 24-foot ring, or as near that size as practicable.

Rule 2—No wrestling or hugging allowed.

Rule 3—The rounds to be of three minutes’ duration, and one minute’s time between rounds.



Why would a boxing fan campaign for hugging and wrestling in boxing?

Why would a man want to see this for that matter?

Rules of Boxing

The rules of boxing vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and on whether it is an amateur or professional bout. A violation of the following rules is considered a foul, and can result in a warning, point deduction, or disqualification by the referee:

You cannot hit below the belt, hold, trip, kick, headbutt, wrestle, bite, spit on, or push your opponent.

You cannot hit with your head, shoulder, forearm, or elbow.

You cannot hit with an open glove, the inside of the glove, the wrist, the backhand, or the side of the hand.

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

You cannot throw a punch while holding on to the ropes to gain leverage.

You can't hold your opponent and hit him at the same time, or duck so low that your head is below your opponent's belt line.

When the referee breaks you from a clinch, you have to take a full step back; you cannot immediately hit your opponent--that's called "hitting on the break" and is illegal.

You cannot spit out your mouthpiece on purpose to get a rest.

If you score a knockdown of your opponent, you must go to the farthest neutral corner while the referee makes the count.

If you "floor" your opponent, you cannot hit him when he's on the canvas.

A floored boxer has up to ten seconds to get back up on his feet before losing the bout by knockout.

A boxer who is knocked down cannot be saved by the bell in any round, depending upon the local jurisdiction's rules.

A boxer who is hit with an accidental low blow has up to five minutes to recover. If s/he cannot continue after five minutes, s/he is considered knocked out.

If the foul results in an injury that causes the fight to end immediately, the boxer who committed the foul is disqualified.

If the foul causes an injury but the bout continues, the referee orders the judges to deduct two points from the boxer who caused the injury.

If an unintentional foul causes the bout to be stopped immediately, the bout is ruled a "no contest" if four rounds have not been fully completed. (If the bout was scheduled for four rounds, then three rounds must have been completed.) If four rounds have been completed, the judges' scorecards are tallied and the fighter who is ahead on points is awarded a technical decision. If the scores are even, it will be called a "technical draw."

If a boxer is knocked out of the ring, he gets a count of 20 to get back in and on his feet. He cannot be assisted.
In some jurisdictions the standing eight-count or the three knockdown rule also may be in effect.

In other jurisdictions, only the referee can stop the bout.



If you don't support the rules of boxing, you are not a boxing fan.

Yes technically they are against the rules, but in sport sometimes you have to push the boundaries 'Sometimes knowing some rough house tactics can save you from certain situations'. They are very much so a vital survival skill' The american trainer who had a youtube channel would explain all of the techniques and then? Give examples of where fighters have used such tactics'.
