Roach Wants Cotto Disqualified If...

[Rabbit ♠]

What's wrong for a trainer to ask a fighter to fight fair and square.

Because it's a change in rules.

Because it's a change in rules.

I didn't know intentional low blows are allowed in boxing.

I didn't know intentional low blows are allowed in boxing.

It leaves it up to the ref what constitutes intentional or not. If Cotto lands a low blow that is not intentional, but the ref thinks it is, rather than subtract a point, Roach wants him to call off the fight.
Just ridiculous to think that the sanctioned rules are going to be changed for your fighter.

It's not allowed but the fighter gets DQ'd if the injury is severe enough to terminate the bout immediately according to WBO rules

The WBO adopts the ABC rules and they are as follows (WBO web site):



B. Intentional Fouls
1. If an intentional foul causes an injury, and the injury is severe enough to terminate the bout immediately, the boxer causing the injury shall lose by disqualification.



2. If an intentional foul causes an injury and the bout is allowed to continue, the Referee will notify the authorities and deduct 2 points from the boxer who committed the foul. Point deductions for intentional fouls are mandatory.



3. If an intentional foul causes an injury, and the injury results in the bout being stopped in a later round, the injured boxer will win by TECHNICAL DECISION if he is ahead on the score cards when the bout is stopped or the bout will result in a TECHNICAL DRAW if the injured boxer is behind or even on the score cards when the bout is stopped.



4. If a boxer injures himself while attempting to intentionally foul his opponent, the Referee will not take any action in his favor, and this injury will be the same as one produced by a fair blow.



5. If the referee feels that a boxer has conducted himself in an unsportsman-like manner he may stop the bout and disqualify the boxer.


6. A fighter who is hit with an accidental low blow must continue after a reasonable amount of time but no more than five (5) minutes or he will lose the fight.

Freddy is being a lil b*tch!
Let's cap the welterweight at 145 instead of 147 for this fight.
Now implying that Cotto is a dirty fighter and attempting to discourage him from working the body.
Let your fighter fight, stop tryin to make it easy for your guy.
I bet as soon as the first body shot lands Freddy is gonna be cryin bloody ****in murder!

[SOTO]

roach is full of **** cotto should not accept this rule and the boxing commission should not allow him to ask for this.

[ThePunchingBag]

I remember that about a year back, Cotto's nickname around here was Miguel Angel LOWBLOTTO. Ya'll musta forgot Jones Jr. style
