Is Schaefer right?

Post by iamasadlittleboy »

There is nothing in the rules related to pushing - even excessive pushing isn't a foul
Always thought it was foul myself...

First rule here http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Rules_of_Boxing

You cannot hit below the belt, hold, trip, kick, headbutt, wrestle, bite, spit on, or push your opponent.

By making the comment he is effectively admitting that Khan was pushing.

I am sure that taking a shit in the middle of the ring during a round isn't in the rule book as a foul, but if Khan tried it I am sure he would be disqualified.
