For amateur boxers, this is usually within about 4 pounds in either direction, and 5 pounds for professionals. Failing to make weight can in some cases result in a loss, stripping of a title if you have one, or a rescheduling of the fight. It is also considered extremely unprofessional in both the amateur and pro-fighting scenes. There will be a medical examination by a doctor. For high stakes amateur events, such as the Olympics, these medical examinations can be repeated throughout the competition. All medical examinations will include a basic physical exam, as well as things that pose a unique danger to sport like blood borne diseases (as cuts are common in boxing) and heart issues (due to its anaerobic nature, boxing with a heart condition is extremely dangerous). There will be drug testing. In addition to the standard medical examinations, fighters will also be drug tested. These drug tests are primarily looking for PEDs (performance enhancing drugs) and other banned substances. For higher stakes contests, these drug tests may be continuous and random. There will be a ringside doctor that has the authority to stop the bout at any time. Their job is to make sure the fighters are safe and examine any cuts, injuries, or strange behavior (like loss of balance) to determine whether it is safe for both fighters to continue the match. It goes on your record. Perhaps most importantly, the results of a sanctioned bout go on your record. This is in contrast to “smoker” fights which are unsanctioned bouts usually conducted between gyms to give fighters experience without risking their record.","What are the key points of a sanctioned boxing match?",{"_uid":676,"answer":677,"question":678,"component":670},"f3012394-c07a-42a5-bbb8-3f4b4746b3b0","Here is what will typically happen before a sanctioned boxing match: Physical Exam. A basic physical is required by every sanctioning body, usually on the day of the fight but sometimes the day before depending on your commission. Almost all boxing commissions use the USA boxing physical form, but it's always good to check with your commission. Drug Testing. Every sanctioned bout will require drug testing, usually in the form of a urine test that is included in the physical exam. The drug test screens for PEDs (performance-enhancing drugs, like steroids and stimulants) but depending on the commission, additional substances may be on the banned substances list. Weigh In. Amateur boxers weigh in on the same day as the fight. This means that they cannot afford to dehydrate as much as professional boxers who weigh in the day following a fight. It is important to control your weight throughout the final week leading up to the fight so that you don’t have to exhaust yourself cutting weight the day of the match. Warm Up. Any coach worth their salt will warm up their fighter before the fight. A typical pre-fight warm-up usually consists of pad work and stretching, which helps keep the fighter loose so that they don’t go into a fight “cold”.","What happens before a sanctioned boxing match?",{"_uid":680,"answer":681,"question":682,"component":670},"3f34474d-16b9-4d80-91a4-bfcbddb4bdca","A sanctioned boxing match is, for the most part, the same as any sparring match. The rules of boxing still apply, and your fighting style will likely not change much. However, there are some differences to remember that may make or break your success in the ring. Glove size. This is bar none the biggest difference. For sparring, bag work, and smoker fights, you will use 16 ounce gloves to mitigate unnecessary damage to your hands and to lower the risk of concussion or broken ribs. However, in a sanctioned match, the glove size is 10 ounces. Less than half a pound of difference doesn’t sound like much until you remember that the majority of the weight removed is padding. This means that not only will your hands be significantly faster, but they will hit harder and punches will be harder to block due to the smaller surface area of the glove. The Referee. In smoker fights, the referee is usually more willing to allow fighters to continue in tough situations (such as being forced on the defensive for a long period of time) because the gloves are bigger and there is less danger for fighters. They are mostly concerned with preventing fighters from cheating. In a sanctioned bout, the referee’s main job is to keep boxers safe. If you are not fighting back, you will be stopped and you will lose the match. If you take a big shot and react badly, you will be stopped and you will lose the match. The referee is there to keep the athletes safe, and referees take their jobs very seriously. The Doctor. Even though there is a doctor at smoker fights, they don’t usually get involved in the fight--that is the job of the coach and the referee. In a sanctioned boxing match, the doctor watches the whole fight very closely and can stop the fight at any time to examine fighters. They can also declare the fight over at any time.","How Is a Sanctioned Boxing Match Different From sparring or practice matches?",{"name":534,"created_at":535,"published_at":536,"updated_at":537,"id":538,"uuid":539,"content":684,"slug":534,"full_slug":553,"sort_by_date":48,"position":554,"tag_list":696,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":556,"first_published_at":557,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":697,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":541,"name":542,"category":685,"component":39,"meta_info":693,"block_image":694,"cover_image":695,"internal_notes":7},{"name":468,"created_at":469,"published_at":470,"updated_at":471,"id":472,"uuid":473,"content":686,"slug":468,"full_slug":570,"sort_by_date":48,"position":86,"tag_list":691,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":572,"first_published_at":573,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":692,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":475,"name":476,"topics":687,"component":118,"meta_info":688,"meta_title":7,"block_image":689,"cover_image":690,"internal_notes":7,"meta_description":7},[484,512,539],{"_uid":560,"title":561,"plugin":43,"description":562},{"id":564,"alt":565,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":565,"filename":566,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":568,"alt":565,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":565,"filename":569,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"_uid":544,"title":545,"plugin":43,"description":546},{"id":548,"alt":542,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":542,"filename":549,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":551,"alt":542,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":542,"filename":552,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"name":699,"created_at":700,"published_at":701,"updated_at":702,"id":703,"uuid":704,"content":705,"slug":714,"full_slug":715,"sort_by_date":48,"position":528,"tag_list":716,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":717,"meta_data":48,"group_id":718,"first_published_at":719,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":720,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},"Iain Mackenzie","2021-09-10T15:42:24.159Z","2022-02-08T23:25:24.310Z","2022-02-08T23:25:24.333Z",71000029,"efb09565-d096-488b-8f7f-7e80e6045b1d",{"bio":706,"_uid":707,"name":699,"photo":708,"component":712,"social_link_tiktok":7,"social_link_twitter":7,"social_link_website":7,"social_link_youtube":7,"social_link_facebook":7,"social_link_linkedin":713,"social_link_instagram":7,"social_link_pinterest":7},"Iain Mackenzie is a licensed amateur boxer.
