ARMY BA VIEW ON CUTS CUT BOXERS DO NOT CREATE THE IMPRESSION THAT THE SPORT IS WELL MANAGED AND CONTROLLED. REFEREES WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO INVITE THE RINGSIDE DOCTOR TO ASSESS ANY CUT. ALMOST ALL BOUTS WITH A CUT BOXER WILL BE TERMINATED

STOPPING A BOUT Coaches can retire their boxer – Loss Referee or Doctor can stop a bout –The result will depend on whether the cause of the cut was as a legal blow to the target area. –An unintentional foul –An intentional foul

Retirement A coach may retire his boxer if he is cut or injured to save him for another bout even though it will be recorded as a loss.

Legal Blow A cut and subsequent termination of a bout caused by a legal blow to the target area will result in a loss to the boxer who is cut.

Unintentional Foul A cut and subsequent termination of a bout caused by an unintentional foul will decided by the judges regardless of little of the bout has taken place.

Intentional Foul A cut caused by an intentional foul that does not result in the termination of a bout will incur a “super” Warning and will result in the loss of 2 points from each judge. If the bout is terminated the offending boxer is DQ’d

Tournament Boxing No Military boxer will be declared FIT TO BOX if cut. No boxer should take any contact until he is declared FIT TO BOX by his Med Cen.
