The whip system as opposed to the yellow card or point systems

[superpunch]

In PRIDE, when guys were inactive or broke rules, they'd get yellow cards. Then they'd start losing money from their paychecks.

In the UFC, when guys are inactive or break rules, they get a warning. Then they start getting points deducted.

This is hardly an effective system. We still see guys stalling, lay and praying, and trying to break rules to gain an advantage all the time. What did they used to do in the Olympics?

• Judges enforced the rules by beating offenders with a switch or whip.

The precise rules of boxing in antiquity cannot be known for certain, and are thus inferred from historical references and images. It is believed that any type of blow with the hand was permitted, though using the hands to gouge at the eyeballs was not. Holding or wrestling one's opponent was also prohibited. If the fight lasted too long due to the tenacity of the competitors, the athletes could choose to exchange blows undefended to speed up the process. Judges probably enforced the rules by beating the offenders with a switch or a whip.
