Section 13:46-8A.5 - Effect of intentional fouls

(a) If a boxer is injured as the result of an intentional foul and the referee determines that the match should be immediately stopped, the boxer causing the injury shall be disqualified and the injured boxer is declared the winner.

(b) If an injury caused by an intentional foul is not so severe as to cause the referee to immediately terminate the contest, the referee shall order a minimum of one point deducted from the score of the boxer committing the intentional foul. A point deduction of at least one point is mandatory for an intentional foul.

(c) If, after an intentional foul, a contest is allowed to initially continue but is thereafter stopped due to an injury caused by such intentional foul, the match shall be declared:

1. A technical decision in favor of an injured boxer if such boxer is ahead on the scorecards at that time of the stoppage; or

2. A technical draw if the injured boxer is behind or tied on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage.

(d) A boxer who injures himself or herself while committing an intentional foul shall be treated as if his or her injury were the result of a clean blow.
