Section 15.6.9.16 - REFEREE'S NOTICE TO JUDGES CONCERNING FOULS

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 boxer (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 boxer can't continue, the rules governing accidental fouls shall apply. A contestant who is hit with an accidental low blow must continue after the 5-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 and/or conduct by the boxer and/or his 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 (2) 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 mandatory.
