Universal Citation: 15 NM Admin Code 15.6.21.29

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

A. In the event that the referee determines that a foul has been committed, he shall notify the judges immediately.

B. The judges shall deduct one point from the offending contestant's scores.

C. On any illegal blow to the body the referee may order a deduction of points and will give the necessary time for recovery to the injured fighter (with a maximum of five minutes) after consulting with the ringside physician. If the referee rules this foul was accidental and after five minutes the injured fighter can't continue, the rules governing accidental fouls shall apply. A contestant who is hit with an accidental low blow must continue after the five-minute rest or he will lose the bout.

D. There may be a deduction of points by the referee at any time for illegal blows or conduct by the fighter or their corner men.

E. In the case of a clear and intentional foul that causes an injury and the contest can still continue, the contestant who was doing the fouling will have two points deducted.

(1) The referee must stop the action and inform all judges and the commission or commission representative of this deduction.

(2) Point deductions for intentional fouls will be at the referee discretion.

(3) The referee has the authority to stop a bout or contest at any stage on account of an intentional foul being committed by either contestant. In such an event, in a bare-knuckle contest the referee may award the decision to the boxer who was intentionally fouled.
