Is a punch to the knee considered a "low blow"?

Uuuuummmmm ok.

Wether a punch is intentional or unintentional does not matter. You can not hit below the belt line. So to answer your question. Yes it is a low blow. If the ref. deems the punch to be a hard enough punch he can award time to the boxer to recover. Wether intentional or not.

Hope this answers your weird ass question.
