Is this fair?

You have it all wrong mate,

If Fighter A is winning the round easily but gets Knocked down by boxer B the round should be 9-9 ,but because we have a ten point must system someone has to get 10 points so it in affect becomes 10-10.

 

Oztriker - I agree with you but judges seem to be set in their ways.For example in America judges very rarely score an even rd. The 1st rd of Calzaghe-Jones would have been scored 10-8 by the judges but take away the knockdown and Calzaghe won 2min 50 sec of that 1st rd.

 

Were on the same page. Another factor can be when a fighter nicks a close rd it is scord 10-9. If a fighter is quite dominant in a rd it is still scored 10-9.This really isn't fair also.I know you can score a very dominant rd with no knockdown 10-8 but in reality the judges don't do this very often.

 

IMO a boxer is awarded 2 points for the knockdown, then thereafter.

So close round one boxer gets the kd gets the round 10-8.

Boxer A is winning round and gets clipped he gets up and loses round 9-10, since he would have won the round that how it should be to me imo.

Not an 8-10 if they would have lost te round only a 9-10 since they scored the kd.

Even in Brock McCline, brocxk rallies back and wins the round but loses it 9-10 since he was dropped

 

Same, you see a guy clearly on a 10-9 round to lose is 8-10, when it should be only 9-10.

But o well.

 

Really like this thread and brings up some very interesting points.
In Australia, you get one point for a knockdown. So in effect the Elomar-Kickett fight is a beautiful example to use:
In Australia - If Kickett gets up judges using the rules would have scored the fight 10-10: A round dominated by Kickett which would have won him the round 10-9 but Elomar gets one point for a knockdown
Overseas/WT fight: - Elomar wins 10-8! Therefore Ahmed gets 3 points for one punch!

 

Im going against the grain here....but i feel a knockdown in the Kickett fight for example if he had gotten up deserves a 10-8 for Elomar.
Thats why its the pros not the amateurs.

 

It depends on the knockdown for me aswell.

Willie was badly hurt, if it had just been a soft flash knockdown I probably would have scored it a draw round.

 

But quite simply it is not the rules in boxing in this country

 

I play by my own rules Mr Austin.

Id be interested to know if your fancy footwear is legal under ANBF rules..Surely it would be a distraction to the judges ringside.
