How are rounds scored in boxing?

Question

i know u give 10 to 9

but how do u decide who wins the round?

it is the guy who took the most damage?

or are u expected to count all the blows landed and thrown?

or do u just go well that guy looked like he got beat up the most so ill give him a 9?

Answer 1

It's all in opinions and what YOU liked in the round. There are guidelines, like if the guy is holding a lot, missing a lot, getting hit a lot, looks tired, his head snaps back when he gets hit.. stuff like that is what yo have to pay attention to. You dont count the punches thrown, it's more who lands the cleanest punches, not the punches that barely scrape by. And you shouldnt give the round to someone simply because he threw more punches, if they didnt land, they dont count... UNLESS the other guy throws twice as much punches, then the other guy loses the round for inactivity

Answer 2

judges score the bout by looking at who is pressing the fight and who is bleeding more and clean punches

Answer 3

A bout in which the predetermined number of rounds passes is decided by the judges. The fighter with the higher score at the end of the fight is ruled the winner. With three judges, unanimous and split decisions are possible, as are draws. A boxer may win the bout before a decision is reached through a knockout. If a fighter is knocked down during the fight, determined by whether the boxer touches the canvas floor of the ring with any part of their body other than the feet, the referee begins counting until the fighter returns to his or her feet and can continue. Should the referee count to ten, then the knocked-down boxer is ruled "knocked out" (whether he or she is unconscious or not) and the other boxer is ruled the winner by knockout (KO). A "technical knockout" (TKO) is possible as well, and is ruled by the referee, fight doctor, or a fighter's corner if a fighter is unable to safely continue to fight, based upon injuries or being judged unable to effectively defend themselves. Many jurisdictions and sanctioning agencies also have a "three-knockdown rule", in which three knockdowns result in a TKO. A TKO is considered a knockout in a fighter's record. A "standing eight" count rule may also be in effect, in which the referee counts no higher than eight to a boxer who regains his or her footing after a knockdown, allowing the referee time to assess if the boxer is able to continue.

Answer 4

Well, first understand the judges scoring the rounds are scoring based on various opinions of what they would consider a successful round for the fighters. To some judges, they may look at who seemly landed the most punches and/or threw the most punches in a show of pressing the action. To a few other judges, they may look at a show of great defense and countering rather than volume of punches thrown. Just remember, different opinions play a role in each judge.

With that being said, the winner of the round is automatically given 10 points, unless there are point deductions in the round for penalties. The losing fighter of the round is given 9 points and in rare cases possibly 8, if he was beaten severly. Each knockdown in the round takes away one point from the losing fighter. For example, if Roy Jones knocks down James Toney once in a round, then Jones win the round 10-8. If Jones knocks Toney down twice in the same round then the score is 10-7 in Jones' favor. In a case of both men getting dropped once in the round, then the score will most likely be score 10-9 in favor of whom ever the judges felt performed better overall in the round.

I hope this helps answer your question.

Answer 5

if you get knocked down and get back up you automatically get an 8. then if you keep getting the **** beat out of you, you can drop to a 7.

you will get a 9 if you are the least productive and effective fighter in that round.
