Utah Admin. Code R457-1-606 - Boxing - Knockouts
(1) A knocked down
contestant shall take a minimum mandatory count of eight.
(2) In the event of a knockdown, the
timekeeper shall immediately start the count loud enough for the referee, who,
after waving the opponent to the farthest neutral corner, shall pick up the
count from the timekeeper and proceed from there. The referee shall stop the
count if the opponent fails to remain in the corner, which will resume when the
opponent has returned to the corner.
(3) The timekeeper shall signal the count to
the referee.
(4) If the contestant
taking the count is still down when the referee calls the count of ten, the
referee shall wave both arms to show that the contestant has been knocked out.
The referee shall summon the physician and shall then raise the opponent's hand
as the winner. The referee's count is the official count.
(5) If at the end of a round, a contestant is
down and the referee is in the process of counting, the timekeeper may not
sound the gong. The timekeeper may only sound the gong when the referee gives
the command to box indicating the continuation of the bout.
(6) In the final round, the timekeeper's gong
shall end the fight.
(7) The
referee shall award a technical knockout decision to the opponent if a
contestant is unable or refuses to continue when the gong sounds to begin the
next round. The referee shall award the decision in the round started by the
gong.
(8) The referee and
timekeeper shall resume their count at the point it was suspended if a
contestant arises before the count of ten is reached and falls down again
immediately without being struck.
(9) If both contestants go down at the same
time, counting will be continued as long as one of them is still down or until
the referee or the ringside physician determines that one or both of the
contestants needs immediate medical attention. If both contestants remain down
until the count of ten, the bout will be stopped and the decision will be
scored as a double knockout.
