    It looks like you do a lot of guessing, your scorecards for one being all guess work.

    You're a bit strange, aren't you?

    Stick to teaching the masses about your 9-9 rounds though.

    The thread poster got some things wrong in his assessment of the pts system. But I agree in its premise that the scoring system should be looked at, and more 10-10 rounds should be scored and more 10-8's (even when there has been no knockdown/s) should be awarded if a fighter is extremly dominant in the round.
    On the consistent score a round 10-9 virtually all the time method (baring a knockdown) you could for example get a fight where fighter A nicks 7 rounds 10-9 by out landing Fighter B- say 15-12 a round in punches and then in the other 5 rounds B out lands A- 25-10 per round in punches- thus winning those rounds 10-9. Fighter B would lose the fight 115-113 despite out landing A by over 50 punches. I dont know what method/system of allocating pts to a round should be, but it could certainly I think be improved and made fairer.

    Bob'n'Weave it only needs to follow what i said, a drawn round should be scored a draw, a winning round should be 10-9, a beatdown should be 10-8, a knockdown should be a points deduction only, the person suffering a knockdown not necessarily losing the round 10-8 as seems to be the case now.

    It has to be a pretty good round excluding the knockdown to score it 10-9.

    I have scored knockdown rounds 10-7 before now, either because the boxer that was knocked down was taking a total hammering for the duration of the round and if he had not gone down i would have scored it a beatdown and would have given it as a 10-8 anyway, getting knocked down just made it a 10-7, i have scored rounds that would have been a 10-9 round but the boxer winning the round managed to put his opponent down twice, so i then scored it 10-7.

    I have scored a flash knockdown round as a 9-9 draw, as the boxer that suffered the knockdown was winning the round before and after the knockdown.

    In all honesty i usually score a knockdown round as 10-8 in favour of the boxer delivering the knockdown, but i dont and others should always do this in every case.

    In general terms there should be a difference on a scorecard between a drawn round, a winning round and a beatdown round, for a knockdown a point should be taken off, but the round the knockdown happens in should still be scored on its merits.

    Who says its wrong, it would be an accurate representation of the round in the circumstances.

    Everyone who knows how to score boxing correctly. Feel free to keep doing it your way but it does tend to compromise the rest of the points you are trying to make.

    The clue is in the title "10 point must system".

    If you score any round like this, unless there's been a point deduction for foul, you have clearly misunderstood the rules of scoring a fight. Therefore, you should shut up about others scoring fights wrong.

    If both fighters knock each other down, you can still choose a winner based on who did the better work and/or landed the heavier knockdown. In these situations you could score the round:

    10-8 if you felt one fighter had landed a knockdown that was much heavier and dominated the round, other than being knocked down himself (which may have been a touchdown, etc)
    10-9 if you felt one fighter did slightly better work or their knockdown was of higher quality, but not enough to say they had dominated
    10-10 if you felt it really was even.

    9-9 is just stupid.

    This might help him. Boxrec has an excellent summary too:

    9-9 is exactly the same as 10-10, the difference is the same .

    You should have just taken your mistake in the OP on the chin (its a fairly common mistake) and learned something instead of trying to argue a blatently incorrect point out of misplaced pride and stubborness.
