ight rules. A boxer may not hit below the belt, in the back of the head, or strike an opponent who is down, even to one knee. Such actions are called fouls. Other fouls include kicking, tripping, wrestling, excessive holding, hitting an opponent's eye with the thumb of the glove, hitting with the forearm or the inside of the glove, butting with the head, or using the elbows. A boxer who commits a foul is warned by the referee and may lose points. Too many fouls may result in disqualification.
After a fighter is knocked down, his opponent must immediately go to the farthest neutral corner—one of the two corners not occupied by either boxer between rounds. The referee then begins the count. If the fallen boxer rises, the count is ended. In amateur and some professional bouts, however, a fallen boxer must take a mandatory eight-count. Under this rule, fighting may not resume after a knockdown until the referee has counted to eight, even if the fallen boxer rises immediately. If a boxer in an amateur fight is knocked down three times in one round, his opponent wins the match on a TKO. This rule also applies to many professional bouts.

Rounds for matches usually start fom 4 rounders and ascend to 6, 8, 10 rounds depending on expirience. 12 rounders are for a championship bout.There are three judges who score each bout and the system is a ten point must system....meaning the winner of the round recieves 10 points, while the loser recieves 9...of course that can change if one fighter is knocked down, loses a point as a sesult of a foul etc. In that case it can become a 10-8 round.heanyweight is 197lbs. and up I believe....hope this helps
