    Four times in the very first round. That's an awful lot of supposed illegality and cheating.

    Is there anything in your posted rules that's it fine and dandy if your opponent is taller?

    What are you talking about? Locche, Marciano, Rigo and Mayweather constantly dipped, it wasn`t just here and there it was a vital part of their defense.

    Holy hell, I thought my thread about Tex Cobb v Tyson Fury was bad but at least it was funny. Mark this is one of the oddest and most reductive threads.

    You're not seeing what everyone else is seeing but anyway.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a referee in a pro fight even give a warning for ducking too low. I didn’t even realize it was illegal in pro boxing.

    They should, it`s an unfair tactic and ref`s are briefed on the rules.

    If you can get away with it, then you do it.
