Does a knockdown automatically mean a 10-8 round?

No, a boxer can be knocked down but do enough to bring the round back to a 10-9 (or to a 10-10, or even win the round in theory)

 

if you win a round and get knocked down its a 9-9 round

 

Used to be, but now it goes in the book as 10-10.

 

No mate. Its the "10 point must system" barring a points deduction 1 or both of the fighters must recieve 10 points.

If a boxer wins a round but gets knocked down then he usually loses the round 10-9.

2 points taken off for the knockdown, 1 put back on for winning the round.

 

no, it isn't automatically a 10-8. you can do enough to even it up.

 

ah i get ya thanks:good

 

correct

 

Cunningham was knocked down in a round he was winning clearly against adamek it was given 10-9 wrongly and it had a big effect on the outcome. sometimes the judges don't even know the rules, another one is the first pacquiao/marquez fight, marquez KD 3 times should've been a 10-6 but a judge gave it a 10-7 again had an impact on the outcome.

don't be to down for not knowing because even the judges don't.

 

Sorry for the ****ed up English in my post, I was trying to watch Peep Show and type at the same time. I'm glad you got the gist of it!!:good

 

A judge doesnt even have to take an extra point for a KD if they dont want to, its purley their descrition

I don't know if things have changed as TBooze has alluded to but knockdowns(at least used to) count towards deductions, and be scored the same.

So if you won a round and were knocked down it was a 9-9 round.
The 10 point must system was in place, but fights are scored with that system in mind first and deductions take place afterwards(theoretically making any score under 10-10 possible).

I must admit I did see Harold Ledderman score a round not including knockdowns as deductions, meaning a round where both men were knocked down(one twice) was scored 10-8(he had it even before that) recently. While previously I've seen him apply the system I talked about above.

IMO knockdowns should count as deductions.

 

Barring deductions for fouls etc. the winner of a round will always get 10 points even if he's been knocked down in that round. If there are no deductions for fouls 1 or both of the fighters will get 10 points no matter how many knockdowns there have been.

From the last paragraph....

"The bottom line is that one fighter must always receive 10 points unless the referee orders a point deduction."
