I can't believe they penalize fighters in the UK for fighting with their hands down, thats the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
The greatest boxer of all time Sugar Ray Robinson fought with his hands down, way down as a matter of fact. If you keep your distance from your opponent you can keep your hands lower, when they are in close you lift them up. Not only does this release strain on your shoulders but you actually get more power from your punches when you start from your hands at a lower position.
When you walk in to a gym a trainer is gonna teach you to fight with your hands glued to your face, but for many people that develop their own style, you learn that keeping your hands way up isn't necessarily the best way to fight.
