Boxing scoring uses a system called the "10-point must system." Here's how it works:
* 10-Point Must: At least one fighter must receive 10 points per round, unless there's a point deduction.
* 10-9 Round: The most common score. Awarded to the fighter who clearly won the round.
* 10-8 Round: Given when one fighter dominates the round, often with a knockdown or significant damage.
* Point Deductions: Can occur for fouls like hitting below the belt or excessive holding.
Scoring Criteria:
* Punching Accuracy and Power: Landing clean, hard punches is crucial.
* Ring Generalship: Controlling the pace and distance of the fight.
* Defense: Effectively avoiding punches and counterpunching.
* Aggression: Showing initiative and attacking.
Outcome:
* Unanimous Decision: All three judges score the fight for the same winner.
* Majority Decision: Two judges score for one fighter, one for the other.
* Split Decision: Two judges score for one fighter, one for the other.
* Draw: Judges disagree on the winner.
Remember: Scoring is subjective, and judges may have different interpretations of the fight.
