Boxing Scoring FAQ and Discussion

I don't think defense is often overlooked.

And the way that effective aggression is described makes it look like a subcategory of clean punching when in fact it's really it's own category.

 

Marciano would disagree.

 

And what if the fighter adapts during the fight or enters the fight with a different game plan than normal. IMHO for a judge to base their decision on past fights is a mistake.

 

Nice :happy

 

Very well done except for the knockdowns part. There is no rule that states you HAVE to award a fighter a 10-8 round for scoring a knockdown. In fact it is quite possible to LOSE a round while scoring a knockdown. (See holyfield-Moorer). If fighter A outlands fighter B 30-5 in the round and suffers a a flash knockdown it would be RIDICULOUS to score the round 10-8 for fighter B.

interesting and i agree with this.

it's nice to see this informative thread stickied!

 

You are the only one then. I scored it 10-10. Moorer landed 38 punches to Holys 9. Holy also held 8 times, and did not land a single punch after the knockdown

It was closer to a 10-9 round for Moorer than a 10-8 for Holy.

Good stuff, Juice! :good

Just going to throw this out as an example of how one could/should score a round...

In the final round of the Peter Quillen-Hassan N'dam N'jkam tilt, HNN was in clear control throughout the first 2 minutes and thirty seconds of the round, and outlanded Kid Chocolate by a fair margin. But in pressing the issue, he left himself open for a counter that dropped him with less than 30 seconds remaining, and was subsequently dropped against just before the final bell.

How would you score the round?Would you place greater emphasis on the two kd's and call it 10-7, or call it a 10-8 round because Hassan did much better worth throughout ninety percent of the round...? :think

(I went with the latter option, but I wanted to hear you take and rationale for the score)

 

what if boxer A is landing cleaning but there is no damage done?
what if boxer B is punching like a gassed fighter and throwing inaccurate punches but there is little damage done?

Who wins the round?
