Amateur boxing is practiced at the collegiate level,

at the Olympic games and Commonwealth games,

and in many other venues sponsored by amateur boxing associations.

Amateur boxing bouts are short in duration and fighters wear head protection,

so this type of competition prizes point scoring (based on number of clean punches landed)

rather than physical power.

Bouts comprise of four rounds of two minutes in the Olympic and Commonwealth Games,

and four rounds of two minutes in a national ABA (Amateur Boxing Association) bout,

each with a one-minute interval between rounds.

Head gear is mandatory in amateur boxing

Competitors wear protective headgear and gloves with a white strip across the knuckle.

A punch is considered a scoring punch only when the boxers connect

with the white portion of the gloves. Each punch that lands on the head or torso is

awarded a point.

A referee monitors the fight to ensure that competitors use only legal blows

(a belt worn over the torso represents the lower limit of punches -

any boxer repeatedly landing "low blows" is disqualified). Referees also ensure that

the boxers don't use holding tactics to prevent the opponent from swinging

 (if this occurs, the referee separates the opponents and orders them to continue boxing.

Repeated holding can result in a boxer being penalized, or ultimately, disqualified).

 Referees will stop the bout if a boxer is seriously injured, if one boxer is significantly

dominating the other or if the score is severely imbalanced.^[1]

 Bouts which end this way may be noted as "RSC" (referee stopped contest)

with notations for an outclassed opponent (RSCO), outscored opponent (RSCOS),

injury (RCSI) or head injury (RSCH).
