Rules of Boxing In professional boxing bouts take place over 12 three minute rounds with one minute rest between round. The only method of attack is punching with a clenched fist and you may not strike below the belt in the kidneys or the back of your opponents head or neck. You cannot use the ropes for leverage. You cannot hit an opponent when they are down . A boxer hit with a low blow can take five minutes to recover. If an unintentional foul (such as clash of heads) end the fight before four rounds are completed this is a “no contest” from the fifth onwards the decision goes to the judge’s cards and is either a technical decision for either fighter or a technical draw.
