FROCH V GROVES - Full Fight

[greynotsoold]

it varies by organization. for years- and i don't know if this is still true- all the boxing publications came out against the rule. boxing purists have always opposed the rule- if the guy is too stunned to take a knee, stop the fight. The argument is that is like sentencing a guy to 1000 lashes, then, when, after 623, you realize it is about to kill him, you stop it, let him recover, then lay on the other 377.

No standing 8 counts under IBF or WBA. Or WBO and WBC for that matter. But weirdly refs sometimes do it anyway.

So its not within the law but loads of refs do it anyway?

Yeah it is in some rules, but not the 4 main governing bodies. Why refs do it sometimes I don't know.
But you must have heard before nearly every fight - 'ten point must system, no standing 8 counts etc'

Of course but seems im not alone as to the ins and out of this rule. even the promoter and Groves trainer seem clueless
