« Last post by Wellsy on Today at 10:13:24 pm »Points scoring in boxing works like this;
Three judges, each scores each round. Whoever wins the round gets 10, whoever loses gets 9. If a fighter is knocked down prompting a point, they lose a point (so could be 10-8 for example). They can score 10-8 without a knockdown if one fighter absolutely dominates, they can also score a 10-10 if there was nothing in it. If both fighters knock each other down the deduction cancels out
In reality judges are a bit of a law unto themselves and can be very controversial and at times just wrong. As Nibs said earlier in the thread, it is hoped for big fights that the judges will be up to it as they aren't always!
