WBC Cut eye rule

Watching Erik Morales first title defence Morales got cut by the other guy with a headbutt. Because Morales was cut by this accidental headbutt, the other guy lost a point because thats what the WBC ordered- the guy with a cut gets a point advantage even though it was accidental. ******ed. My question is when did this rule start and when did it finish.

 

Happened in de la Hoya-Whitaker early and the cut wouldn't play a role in the grand scheme of things. Poor idea.

 

So shouldn't Pacquiao have lost a point to Marquez in their second fight? Accidental headbutt opened up Marquez' eyebrow.

 

So what does that mean, if you win 10-9 get cut you win 11-9?

 

Im pretty sure this rule doesen't apply any more for the WBC. Just curious- it can't have stayed long its a awful rule.

 

Winner of a round gets 10 points no more.

 

Yea they probably figured it didn't help them earn any money if people were worried about that stupid rule messing up their fight for one of those belts.

 

Has it ever changed a major fight like caused a guy to lose or draw

 

From the WBC's own guidelines at http://www.wbcboxing.com/downloads/RULESFORCHAMPIONSHIPFIGHTS-SYNTHESIZED 094.pdf

Hope that helps man, bull **** ruling.

 

Im not sure it could easily do. I mean a reckless guy who is prone to cuts could use this to his advantage really. Very daft

 

Thanks, shame it doesen't say when it ended but its total bs

 

That was from 2009 I think man.

October/30/09.

Never seen a date displayed like that.

 

10-8 A 10 point must system means your opponent loses a point if you get one :yep

 

Ever heard of the 10 point must system?

 

its still on.
if the local commission doesn´t agree with that its just not applied for those fights
like the open scoring rule
Pongsaklek vs Suriyan like two month ago is the last fight i remember such a point deduction has occurred
the fight would have been scored a majority draw without the point deduction btw
