We are continuing to track this accident. If a player does not defend well in a boxing match or uses too much force, it can easily lead to injuries. Therefore, there will be doctors present during the game. In addition, the referees in the field are responsible for protecting the safety of the players and can be on hand at any time. Stop the competition, but most amateur competitions will sign a cut-off letter. The lawyer emphasized that if the competition results in serious injury or death, you will still be punished.

The speed of the punch is so fast that it is impossible to guard against it. If the punch hits the face, it is easy to be injured if you are not careful. If you do not use the force to defend it well, I am afraid it will hit the vital point.

Freelance boxing coach Hsin: "For example, some joints need to be protected during movements. Sometimes they will hit the joints, not our muscles themselves, but the joints, which can easily cause a lot of damage, so you must wear something at this time. Protective gear."

I am afraid that in boxing matches, players will be seriously injured and sent to the hospital. In addition to protective gear, they must undergo physical examinations before the match. There will also be doctors on the field. If the referee sees that something is not right, the game will be terminated at any time.
Guo Zhilai, Chairman of the Professional Boxing Association of the Republic of China: "The referee above is protecting the players, while the referee below is counting the points. I have been attacked. After several punches, I have no way to fight back. The referee has You have the right to stop the game because if you keep playing, I will still get hurt."

The normal force of a boxing punch is about 80 kilograms. After training, it can weigh up to 100 kilograms. Therefore, the area below the navel and the back of the head are critical parts that cannot be hit. In addition, boxing gloves are also different. Professional gloves are about 8 ounces, because the strength is concentrated, while amateurs are about 12 ounces, and the strength is relatively dispersed. However, except for professional regular competitions, most competitions will sign a cut-off letter before the competition. If there is an injury, the other party is not responsible, but there is really a law Benefits?

It is almost common for players to be injured, so they will sign a cut-off form. Lawyers said that if someone on the field is seriously injured or dies, it may be a crime of processing self-injury and may still be punished.

Criminal Lawyer Explained

Lawyer Li Yusheng: "The contract signed before the competition is basically legally binding, but it does not represent the contestant and does not bear any legal responsibility. If the perpetrator has the intention to kill or cause serious injury, , to attack others and cause death or serious injury, you may still be held responsible under criminal law."
