Anyone else think that this was a 9-9 round? Diaz had pretty much won the round and hurt morales on several occasions before simply getting caught big and going down at the very end. I had diaz winning the round but losing a poitn for the KD for a 9-9 round
I don't think you can score a 9-9 round if there was a knockdown, let alone tying a round is always 10-10. You can do a 10-9 instead of a 10-8 round though for Morales. Two judges actually did score 10-9 for Morales the 1st round.
Didnt one of the judges score it 10-8 diaz in the round he got knocked down? Im sensing some bias corrupt **** boxing in this one.
Nah, Uratani scored 10-8 for Morales, Hecko and Cuevas scored 10-9 for Morales. However, Cuevas scored 10-8 for Diaz in round 2, even though Morales going down was ruled a slip. But in the end, on Cuevas' card, even if you add an extra point for Morales, Diaz still would've won because of the other two judges.
Exactly, you should know the rules of the sport you are watching. :yep The "10-Point-Must-System" means exactly that what the name implies, someone must get 10 points in a round. Points for fouls or whatever are not deducted from the scoring of the round in which the foul happend, they are taken at the end of the fight from the overall score.
I was under the impression that in the case of a knockdown, the fighter who is knocked down is penalized a point, not the fighter who scores the knockdown being awarded an extra point.
There is no such thing as a 9-9 round. You can have a point deduction from the winner of the round, but it's still scored 10-9 and the point deduction taken afterwords. There is no 9-9. Why don't you learn how to score the sport before telling people how it's done.
found this 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. If each fighter scores a knockdown, the knockdowns effectively cancel each other out and the score returns to 10 points for the winner and 9 points for the loser of the round. It is the referee's job to determine whether a knockdown occured. Sometimes what looks like a knockdown will be ruled by the referee to be a slip, or vice-versa. In this case the judge should always reflect the referee's ruling in the scorecard. If the winner of a round wins by a very large margin, the judges may deduct another point from the loser of the round. This is to award the fighter who completely dominates a round in all four scoring areas. So if a fighter wins a round by completely dominating the opponent, the score could be 10 to 8. Judges are not required to deduct an extra point from the loser in this rare (and subjective) situation
