If my math is right, a guy can win the 1st round 5-0, the 2nd 5-4 and the 3rd 5- 4 and lose rounds 4 thru 12 by 5-4 and still win the fight?

No, in your scenario the guy with the 5-0 round would lose 53-51.

10-8 should be strictly for knockdowns. In my experience people arguing otherwise are allowing their MMA experience/enthusiasm to bleed through. Maybe even an element of esports as well

Boxing isn't all-out combat, there is a ritualistic quality to it and forcing an opponent to take a knee is in many ways symbolic

I would also like to add that people trying to overhaul or further complicate boxing's scoring criteria are a) making scoring fights even harder and b) missing the point that boxing has always been and will always be legalised prizefighting, not a true sport

As much as we lament professional boxing's current state, not that the 'sport' has ever been perfect, I would prefer it to stay as-is than turn into the sterility of amateur boxing

I think it was more common back in The day

Im sure Gatti should have had a few standing 8 counts against Floyd.

I don’t score 10-8 without a KD. If a guy is getting beat up but on his feet, then 10-8 is just an insult. If the beating was that bad the fight should be stopped.
