Is use of the Forearm Illegal or not?

[holmcall]

It's only illegal if the referee says it's illegal.

It's only illegal if the referee says it's illegal.

If it is written, it is so.

Kel, id rep you if i could. Great pics! The funny thing is, you should watch the Baldomir fight... It think it was round 5 or 6... I swear to got, he dips below the waist more times in that one round than he did in the entire Marquez fight.

If only, you were aloud to punch below the waist

Bad example as far as rounds go but flippin hell, he could of laced his own boots up upon decent!

I swear if someone just nailed him in the kidney every time he ducked like that he'd stop ducking like that.

Someone needs a KILLER INSTINCT to beat Floyd....don't worry about getting a point taken from you, just foul the mother fucker because he's breaking the rules as well and I figure as long as you don't hit him purposely behind the head the ref will be more leniant on you. A couple stiff punches to the kidneys would slow Floyd down a bit.

keeping your lead hand outstretched is illegal also lol and Wlad does it plenty, maybe someone should clip his knee, should take away his height lol

[El Kabong]

...you're right good luck getting past that


As I said before all GREAT fighters bend the rules

[sumkalambay]

Wlad is abnormally strong and is gigantic in stature and he leans on his opponents many times. it's illegal.

he needs that strength and height though. otherwise his style would be completely useless.

how can he lean on you when he's like 5 ft away jabbing the hell out of you?

Why abnormal? Both the Klits are naturally big strong guys, they are both always in very good condition from what I seen too. Like em or not you have to respect them next to these fat bastards we got nowadays (apart from Haye and a select few)

[El Kabong]

Haye isn't fat but he's definently a bastard

[Kel]

Haye isn't fat but he's definently a bastard

Yeah he has a gob on him and all, granted. You suck Klit cock, but to be honest, they both show class, are always in shape and never bad mouth people unless it's caused for.

Haye is starting to get on my fucking nerves a bit actually.

I think it would be great to see someone try and beat Floyd by trying to really rough him up. Cotto might actually be a good choice for that. Floyd acts like a dick by breaking the rules and the ref ignores it, then just go on and do something yourself. Might still end up losing a point, but it would be interesting to see how Floyd responds. More opponents should bring Floyds faults to the attention of the referee both prior to and during the fight as well.

Those pictures Kel showed were good because you see just how often Floyd bends to his knees in a bizarre attempt to neutralise his opponent. What's next? Two opponents avoiding any punches by both waddling around bent down to their knees? That's not boxing.

[sumkalambay]

the refs don't "ignore" it. that's the dumbest shit i've ever heard. a lot of those pictures Kel showed were borderline cases anyway. like i said, it's up to the refs to catch it.

plus, boxing would be terribly frustrating to watch if every single illegal move was called by the ref.

the fight was a clinic, period. it's clear some of you will never give PBF any credit because you simply don't like the man. i'm not fond of his personality, but i love watching him in the ring.

They do ignore it. Like they ignore things from a lot of fighters. Elbows in faces, excessive holding, low blows, continually ducking intentionally low. I don't think referees enforce these things enough at all. And I am not talking specifically about Mayweather here. There needs to be consistency applied and rules applied so that at the end of the day the fans get a good fight. That is what matters at the end of the day. Rules need to be enforced to do that.

It might even make fights more interesting. Hatton being docked a couple of points against Urango would have been quite fun. As would Cotto in some of his fights where he has landed unusually low. Mayweather could have been taken a point for the elbows in the face in a number of fights. Hopkins could have been docked a point for constantly trying to cuddle Calzaghe.

Nothing wrong with docking a point if something is against the rules and used too much to try and force an advantage. It would make fights more above board and fan friendly. It would be a good thing.

Look, you can use the forearm all night, but if the ref says it's ok, it's ok. And if the ref says it's is ok, it must be ok. And if it's ok, it must be legal. Even if it's written somewhere that it's illegal. Clear?

Seriously, if you expect anyone to fall in line with your way of thinking, then your delusional.
