Is a low blow a good thing for a boxer to do when they're losing?

Look at Tito/Vargas. Vargas was handing Tito his ass, when Tito loaded up on El Terrible's nutsack. It changed momentum in that fight.

If you're a trainer and your fighter's losing, would you instruct him to gun one low?

 

In a sportsmanship sense obviously not. From changing the fight, it can have an affect, other times your going to get yourself disqualified or get a point taken for no reason.

 

Good? No.

Effective? Depends. It can backfire.

If its something like Tszyu's pitty pat shoe shine on the belt against Hatton it seemed a good tactic in that it got Vann to stop the fight for a bit.

But you run the risk that your opponent will respond with a free windup bell ringer monster shot directly to the nuts as Hatton did.

 

I think sometimes it has its merits. And if you feel it can help you in a bad situation why not?

 

Yup, defo backfired for Tszyu.

 

on a practical note, i'd probably tip my boxer into it..enough with the hypocrisy. let's get real here folks..:hey

 

Anyone that has gotten cracked in the nut's know's..
I say Hell No!, It's defo an OG tactic can't deny that.

But still a Cop move.
If you do it Hopkins like tho, That's a thing of beauty.

 

What?

 

Tyson reckons a bite to the ear is far more effective.

 

Titsworth prefers a kiss to the neck. imp

 

Does anybody count repeated hip shots throughout the fight as low blows?

Low blows being thrown by the guy who's winning always pisses me off.

 

:huh

 

isnt it el feroz or some **** ...

 

The first thing that popped into my head when i saw the thread was the cheato/vargas fight.. Just when u thought the tides were changing, Tito would comeback with the most obvious low blow ( totally intentional ) and would turn the tables again.. **** that.

Tito knows all about it.

 

You and " FINITO " are too predictable.
