boxing rules

Since their publication in 1867, the rules of the Marquis of Queensberry have been the primary source of regulation for boxing matches. Rounds are generally 3 minutes long (although 2 minute rounds were also used in the UK). Each boxer enters the ring from the corner allotted to him, and after each round he goes here in order to rest, get the coach's advice and the necessary medical assistance. The referee controls the fight: being in the ring, he monitors the behavior of the fighters, counts knockdowns and penalizes for breaking the rules. Up to three judges can be near the ring in order to assign points to participants. A participant in a fight can become a winner by knocking out his opponent. If a Boxer is knocked to the ground by a kick and touches the floor with any part of his body other than his leg, the Referee will start counting. If within 10 seconds he rises - the fight continues, if not - then he is considered knocked out, and his opponent becomes the winner. Technical knockout is also possible: it is recognized by the referee, doctor or corner of the boxer in case he is injured or cannot defend himself. Sometimes the rule of three knockdowns applies (in title fights under the auspices of the WBA), when this number is equivalent to a technical knockout. If the fight is over, and none of the participants won an early victory, then the outcome is decided by the judges. The winner is the athlete with the most points, but sometimes there are also draws. Boxers are prohibited from hitting below the waist, holding each other, pushing, biting, spitting and wrestling. Also, you cannot hit with your foot, head, knee or any other part of the hand except a clenched fist (elbow, shoulder, forearm, wrist, open palm). It is forbidden to hit in the back, in the back of the neck, in the back of the head and in the kidneys. You can not hold on to the rope or an opponent during the strike, as well as dive below the belt. If the clinch is broken by the referee, both fighters must take a full step back before striking. When one of the boxers is knocked down, the other must move to a neutral corner and wait for the judge's decision. Boxers should not run a lot and be near the ropes many times. One point is deducted for this. The Referee may penalize violation of the rules with a warning, deduction of points or even disqualification. A deliberate action against the rules, injuring the opponent and stopping the fight, usually results in the last and most severe measure. A Boxer who is accidentally hit below the belt may recuperate within 5 minutes. If after the allotted time he is not ready to continue the fight, he is recognized as knocked out. A special point of the rules is an accidental collision of heads, resulting in an injury that makes it impossible or dangerous to continue the fight. If the event happened in the first four rounds, then the fight is considered to be a draw or not taken place (what kind of outcome will be discussed before the fight). If the event occurs after the fourth round, then the fight is stopped and the judges count the votes for the full rounds. An intentional head-on is considered a violation and will be penalized
