				  When a bout is interrupted due to an injury caused by an unintentional foul,

				  unintentionally fouled and if the fighter's chance of winning has not been
				  seriously jeopardized as a result of a foul, the referee may order the bout
				  continued after a reasonable interval, not to exceed 5 minutes.
(b) If the referee and/or the ringside
				  physician determines that the bout may not continue because of an injury
				  suffered as the result of an unintentional foul or because of an injury
				  inflicted by an unintentional foul which later becomes aggravated by fair
				  blows, the bout shall be declared a draw, if according to the score cards, the
				  bout was determined to be a draw at the time the foul occurred. If, according
				  to the score cards, the fighter committing the foul was winning prior to the
				  foul, the bout shall be declared a technical draw. If, according to the score
				  cards, the fighter being fouled was winning prior to the foul, then that
				  fighter shall be declared the winner.
(c) When an unintentional foul causes the
				  bout to be interrupted for the purpose of allowing the injured fighter time to
				  recover, the referee shall penalize the fighter guilty of the foul one or more
				  points.
