I got a question. Watched Dirrell Froch fight and saw some of the same stuff I saw in Mayweather's fights. What is the a boxer supposed to do when his opponent keeps ducking his head? Seems like there is nowhere to punch him....
At an extreme, it's illegal (from Boxrec's "Rules of Boxing" on fouls): "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. "
I had never heard that before. Mike Tyson used to do that quite a bit and I can't remember him ever geting warned for it.
That was a dirty fight. 1) ducking head below ***** level (Dirrell) 2) man handling and holding down while hitting (Froch) 3) picking him up and throwing him on his back (Froch) 4) swearing whilst jabbing (Dirrell) 5) punching after the bell (Both) 6) punching in the back of the head (Froch) 7) punching rib whilst asked to break (Dirrell) 8) Jab and grab ruiz technique (Dirrell)
