LAWS FOR AMATEUR BOXING DEFINED
London.
Some important decision affect- ing amateur boxing have been taken by the International Amat- eur Boxing Federation, which has been meeting in Berlin...
Alterations were made in the system of point-scoring.
In future, points will be award- ed for:
1. A blow which lands cleanly.
2. A blow which lands cleanly and
scores a knock-down.
3. When the opponent is cautioned. 4. Better at in-fighting.
5. Each clean and successful bit of
defence.
6. Tactics, leading, clean boxing and
accurate timing.
All Federation referees are re- quired to adopt this system..
It was stipulated that gloves must weigh eight ounces; the leather not to exceed four ounces and the stuffing not to be less than four ounces.
Decisions can be given on the following five grounds:
1. By a knock-out when a boxer has touched the floor for ten seconds with any part of his person other than his feat; or when he hangs against the ropes unable to con- tinue.. Abandonment of the fight entails a K.0. win for the oppon- ent.
2. A win on points to be decided by the majority of votes of the point judges.
3. No-decisions only to be permitted in international friendly-contests. 4. A win through disqualification of
one of the boxers.
5. Stoppage of a fight by..the referee owing to the dangerous condition of the ring or the disorderly, be- haviour of the crowd which, pre- vents a sporting" decision being reached.
Prizes in international contests Imay not exceed the value of £5.
