Are Judges allowed to score rounds even 10-10?

When there are 2 KDs. It is a 10-point-must system.

 

You are.
If a fighter wins the round, he would normally be awarded a 10-9 round. If he's deducted a point, however, for something illegal like punching behind the head, a low blow, etc., he'd end up with a 9-9 round.
There has to be a deduction for this to be possible.

 

The only time there is a 9-9 round is when there is a point deduction for fouls.

 

ah yeah, i just goggled it just now... tnx for the confirmation

 

There doesn't have to be two KDs!
Stop spreading misinformation - you're confusing the poor fellow.

 

Didn't one of the judges score 10 rounds even atsch

dang... i should read more hints on scoring
coz i scored 9-9 on a round (just 1 instance) for a draw

/me googletime

 

A lot of people seem to get that whole 9-9 thing confused. Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman have been watching boxing for decades and they still couldn't get it right.

Harold Lederman had to explain it to them during Williams-Martinez 1 that a 9-9 round is only when there's a point deduction for fouls.

 

There doesn't have to but it is just an example. Yours is good, too.

 

thanks for clearing that up :good

 

Seriously?:think I learned it in that very fight (well, the highlights on youtube). They don't know ****!:twisted:

Awarding Points
For each round, judges determine the score using the ten-point must system. This means that (usually) the winner of the round gets ten points, and the loser gets nine points. There are exceptions to this rule. For example, when a fighter is knocked down, that fighter loses a point. So if the fighter that was knocked down loses the round the score would be 10 to 8 for that round. If the fighter that was knocked down wins the round (which is rare) the score would be 9 to 9. If a fighter is knocked down twice, the score would normally be 10 to 7 for the round. If three knockdowns occur you should have a 10 to 6 round, etc. Also, it is possible for a judge to score a round as a tie, which is exceedingly rare. In this case the score for the round would be 10-10.

 

Sorry!atsch Thanks HBO!

Kellerman at 1:00.:-(

 

I don't see a problem with scoring rounds even - it's much better than guessing, or as they do on Sauerland cards just giving it to the home fighter.

Also there should be more 10-8's scored for dominant rounds without a knockdown, and more 10-9's scored when there is a knockdown - to me it's lazy scoring just to say it's an automatic 10-8 regardless of the rest of the action within the round.
