N.M. Admin. Code § 15.6.19.28 - 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 fighter (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 fighter can't continue, the rules
governing accidental fouls shall apply. A contestant who is hit with an
accidental low blow must continue after the five-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 or conduct by
the fighter or their 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 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 at the referee discretion.
(3) The referee has the authority to stop a
bout or contest at any stage on account of an intentional foul being committed
by either contestant. In such an event, in a bare-knuckle contest the referee
may award the decision to the boxer who was intentionally fouled.
