Just curious to find out how fellow ESBers would score a round like this: Fighter A dominates approximately the first two and a half minutes of the round, landing clean, effective punches, controlling distance and not taking anything clean or effective in return. He's well on his way to a clear 10-9 round. Approximately 2:30 into the round Fighter A walks into a punch and gets dropped. Fighter B hasn't landed anything significant in the round up until this point and was clearly on his way to losing the round decisively, but he manages to time Fighter A perfectly as he's coming in and puts him on his ass with a single shot. Fighter A gets up immediately from the KD and waits for the ref to finish his eight count. Once the ref checks to make sure Fighter A is okay to continue and signals both fighters to box there are only about 10 seconds left in the round in which Fighter A immediately grabs and holds Fighter B, stalling until the round is over.
KD's are a big factor in a fight (professionally). I would give the round to the guy who scored a KD, but 10-9 only since the other guy did good work for majority of the round.
If the round was completly dominated by Fighter A except for the knockdown then I would have it 10-9 for fighter B. The knock down still merits Fighter B winning the round but since fighter A Dominated he should only lose 1 point instead of the typical 10-8.
