How to Spot a Low Blow in Boxing Like Judge Mills Lane

"In the Holmes vs. Cooney fight I witnessed pure agony. Holmes got hit really low and hard," recalls Nevada district judge and pro boxing referee, Judge Mills Lane.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Move your feet like a boxer to stay in good viewing position.

2. Watch for the low hooks or upper cuts.

3. Ask yourself if the guy looks like he's in agony or just dazed.

4. Give the low-blow recipient the 5-minute recuperation period.

5. Enforce the "fight or lose" rule after the recoup period is up.

Tips & Warnings

• "The cups they wear these days are so protective it really needs a hit from below. Most low blows aren't really debilitating," notes Lane. You'll want to take his word on that.
