Section 718 - Knockouts

     § 718.  Knockouts.
        (a)  Count by referee.--When a boxer is knocked out, the
     referee shall count to ten unless, in the judgment of the
     referee, the boxer is in immediate physical danger, in which
     case the referee may stop the count earlier. If the boxer has
     not risen from the ring floor before the referee stops the
     count, the result shall be recorded as a knockout.
        (b)  Physician.--When a boxer has been knocked out, no one
     shall touch him, except to remove his mouth protector, until
     after the attending physician has entered the ring and issued
     such instructions as he deems necessary.
