Should round 3 of Pac/Cotto be scored as 9-9? (video)

Again for the 10th time, there is no such thing as a 9-9 round without a point deduction. 2 of the judges scored it 10-9 Pac because with knockout normally 10-8 with Cotto winning round makes it 10-9

10 point must system means there must be 10 points scored for at least one fighter unless there is a point deduction.

 

Dude....where did you get this ****? There's no 9-9, we've been round and round about it. 10 point MUST

 

I don't know what website you got your information from but please go to an official site and post information and you will see that I am right. btw that post is from 2001

 

LOLOLOLOL :rofl:rofl:rofl

Whatever website you copied that from FAILS.

When a fighter is knocked down but dominates the rest of the round, its scored 10-9 against that fighter.

The ONLY way a 9-9 round is scored is when the winner of the round is docked a point for FOULING. Thats it. Case closed.

And on the original question... 10-8 Pacquiao. Cotto did not do enough to warrent a 10-9.

 

It's 10-9 round for me, because Cotto controlled the action bar the knockdown. Pac wins the round because of that, but because he was losing the round clearly you can't make him a two point winner.

It certainly isn't 9-9. There was a thread about this like a year ago or something, covering that it was unfair, but the fact is, besides a stoppage, scoring a knock down is the single best thing you can do in a round.

 

What you are saying is that I'm not giving facts and you are. Since you are the thread starter... I think the burden of proof is on YOU, not me. The website you got that from isn't reputable.

I'll explain it like this though. It's called the "10 point must system" because the winner of the round must receive 10 points. The ONLY exception is point deductions.

Also, I challenge you to find a score card for any fight at all, where the winner of a round was given less than 10 points WITHOUT a foul resulting in a point deduction.

 

10-8

 

To get even out a 10/8 KD round you REALLY need show you are winning. Any doubt will always lead back to 10/8. Judges will always give the benefit of the doubt to the winning boxer.

Basically, he MIGHT have done enough. But not CLEARLY enough to counter the 10/8 KD scoring.

 

OK here's an example of the situation in question.

Round 6 of Calvin Brock vs. Jameel McCline. Early in the round McCline knocked Brock down with a left hook to the side of the head. For the entire rest of the round Brock dominated, he even had McCline hurt toward the end.

The round was scored 10-9 for McCline, as Brock was able to regain the point he lost from the knockdown by dominating the rest of the round.

The fact is, once a fighter is knocked down, he automatically loses the round (I.E. the other fighter gets 10 points.) UNLESS, he knocks the other fighter down...which puts them on equal ground again...meaning either one can get 10 points.

 

And yet according to the poll, 5 of you (as of this posting) still don't know how to score a boxing match.

 

God, the first 3 or 4 rounds of this fight were classics. Until Manny got the second knockdown and took over, that is.
