Universal Citation: SC Code Regs 20-8.13

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 3, March 22, 2024

1. The referee may, in his/her discretion, stop a bout to protect a badly beaten boxer. The referee may stop a contest if he/she considers it too one-sided. In cases where a boxer sustains a cut eye or any other injury which the referee feels may incapacitate the boxer, the referee may, at any time, call the physician into the ring for examination of the boxer. In such cases the referee shall be guided by the physician's advice.

2. If a boxer loses his/her mouth piece, the referee shall stop the fight and replace it. There shall be no penalty for the first such loss. If the referee determines that subsequent losses of the mouth piece are intentional, he/she may penalize the boxer one (1) point for each such occurrence.

3. If an accidental head-butt disables a boxer in the first or second round, the referee shall declare the bout "no contest". If such head-butt occurs after the second round, the referee will award the decision to the boxer with the most points at the end of the preceding round.
