Adamek/Cuningham: Round Four.

The most widely used scoring system since the mid-twentieth century is the "10-point must system", so named because a judge "must" award ten points to at least one fighter each round (before deductions for fouls). Most rounds are scored 10-9, with 10 points for the fighter who won the round, and 9 points for the fighter the judge believes lost the round. If a round is judged to be even, it is scored 10-10. For each knockdown in a round, the judge deducts an additional point from the fighter knocked down, resulting in a 10-8 score if there is one knockdown or a 10-7 score if there are two knockdowns. If the referee instructs the judges to deduct a point for a foul, this deduction is applied after the preliminary computation. So, if a fighter wins a round, but is penalized for a foul, the score changes from 10-9 to 9-9. If that same fighter scored a knockdown in the round, the score would change from 10-8 in his favor to 9-8.

 

10-9 for me..I think it was a perfect example of a round where a fighter scores a knock down but only wins it 10-9.

Cunningham was winning the round convincingly...almost to the point of 10-8..Adamek dropped him but it wasnt just a flash KD, plus he followed up with a few good shots..turned it around for me.

 

10-9 Adamek

 

Cunningham won the round without the KD = 10-9
But loses a point because of the kd = 9-9 even round

Which makes it 10-10, or what am I missing?

 

10-8 Adamek

 

Commentators where horrible IMO. I had it 10-9 USS then the KD which you deduct 1 point. So that rd should have been a draw. I don't care what Adamek did in the last 30 seconds of the fight. Steve dominated most of that rd and had Adamek stuned for a solid 2 minutes.
4th rd=Draw
