There are so many different rules in boxing, in different countries/states and with different organisations. These rules can hugely influence a fight, and even affect the outcome. This content is protected - Fighter can be saved by the bell in any/last round (everywhere). - Referee is scoring the fight (damn Brits). - 3 knockdown rule (everywhere). - 20 point must system (some WBU fights). - Partial round scored by accident from round 4 on (California). - 20 second count when punched out of the ring, instead of 10 (everywhere). This content is protected (but please don't make it all about this) - Home fighter is allowed to headbutt, hold/hit and elbow his opponent (Oakland). - It's illegal for the visiting fighter to hit his opponent in the face (Nürenberg). Do you guys have other examples and fights that got influenced by them?
WBC (i think) deduct a point from a fighter for an accidental foul if the other person is cut If a fighter takes a knee it's actually a foul (New York have this rule on their book, though it's rarely enforced)
So they take a point away and then they fight on, once the other guy cant continue he would win by tko?
They continue as they would usually if they can, if they can't a point is still deducted and it'd be a technical decision. I think Beyer v Bika was a high profile case of this rule being used.
When a home fighter is getting punished the promoter is allowed to ring the bell and save his fighter no matter how long is left in the round (Danny Williams v Konstantin Airich)
- Home fighter is allowed to headbutt, hold/hit and elbow his opponent (Oakland). Has more to do with refereeing than location:deal
