Is use of the Forearm Illegal or not?

[JonnyFolds]

when its used as blatant as floyd its indeed as illegal as pacquiaos constant use of his head.

hatton actually took the piss out of floyd in one of the 24/7 episodes for constantly throwing his forearm into combinations almost as if it was routine for him.

Used it all night against hatton and cortez amazingly didnt happen to spot it once

hahaha some one is bitter about the two thrashings Hatton took, and Mayweather doesn't throw the forearm, he uses it to push his opponent off of him then follow up with a left hook or lead right, think too much is being made of this, he's done it his whole career so don't get why people are bitching now, and this is coming from a guy who was accused of being a "hater" just a couple days ago by JT lol

Well, yes, mayweather would throw a "str8 right or a left hook" I mean he doesn't really throw anything else, does he? And I have long since complained about his elbows in fights. He was penalized in the first Castillo fight for it and never since. He got away from it for a while, but he was right back at it bad with DLH. I was shocked Cortez was letting Floyd get away with that much in Hatton's fight.

So why should we not be pissed if he's done it his whole career? Is there anything this guy has done right? Mayweather is so respectable as a person, family man, fighter, competitor, crowd pleaser, and cash cow. I love him like the morning dew in the desert. He breathes new life into boxing. I think he is a really good role model, too.

I think Kessler called him out for his next fight at SMW. Floyd will take the fight. He never dodges anyone.

Seriously.. I think the dirtiest fight I've seen recently is Chris Henry and Yousef Mack.

Henry is one dirty SOB! But tough tough tough.

ALL of the greatest fighters cheated, most of them were smart enough to do it an not get penalized for it. And really you can't say they cheated it's more they bent the rules exceptionally well.

At least he doesn't use the forearm like Tyson (where it's into your throat) or like Marciano (where he tries to knock you out with it, see the Archie Moore fight, Rocky hit him with EVERYTHING)

Yeah Mike if he missed the punch he landed the forearm for sure

[Kel]

Is this legal? Almost below the fucking knee lol. What sort of punch do you employ to land in this situation? a 'downer cut'?

[Althugz]

True but he isn't there for long, Kel so it's hard to penalise him when he is up and down so fast.

I didn't even notice that one so I imagine it would be even harder for the ref judging by his position.

[sumkalambay]

fighters are rarely called for ducking below the waistline.

Not there a lot you say? These are all from the Marquez fight, check em out.

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

Check this out... 1st punch of the vid YouTube - Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Carlos Baldomir Pt.4

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

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.
