THE ROPED SQUARE

Let us help you to become a sideline judge at the next boxing bouts held aboard ship, so that you may be able to appreciate a "fair decision. 1 A man gets marks in attack with direct, clean hits on ms. opponent’s face or body - on the front and sides, and above the belt. In defence he. scores for good guard, slipping, ducking, counter-hitting or getting away cleanly. In the case of equal points, the judge gives the benefit of the doubt to the man who took the initiative - the aggressor - or, failing that, to the man who displayed the most scientific style. In my opinion the marks of a good boxer are: Fitness, use of-the straight left, good cover in defence and determination, or "go to win."
