J_Stewart Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I’ll be honest and say I’m a casual boxing fan but I didn’t know that was the exact rule. He seemed quite with it by the time the ref counted to 7. Ref’s job is to ensure the safety of the fighters first and foremost, so hypothetically even had Cox been on his feet at 7 saying he was fine, if the ref deems him incapable (legs might be jelly, eyes may not be focused, etc) he’s well within his rights to stop it regardless of the fighters protests.I didn’t think it was that big a shot and that he just mistimed the count, but it may well have been that he missed it because he was scrambled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong, but, to me, you have to be standing up, facing the ref when he counts 10. He'll then assess you as being fit to continue or not, be that by asking you to walk forward to him, getting your gloves up or both.Even then it's still at his discretion, to stop the fight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Haye is so open it’s ridiculous. Missing with wide swinging hooks and leaving massive gaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Malignaggi is right, his legs have gone. Injury or old age, it means his punches aren't being delivered properly, he's swinging. Edited May 5, 2018 by ICTChris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
