Official 10-Point Must scoring, knockdown deductions, and CompuBox-style punch volume tracking for championship and club boxing bouts.
| Cruz (Red) | KD/Ded | Round | KD/Ded | Bravo (Blue) | Punches (L/T) | Round Winner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 96 | 1 KD | TOTAL | 0 KD | 93 | 224/580 vs 178/520 | Cruz Win |
The winner of each round must receive 10 points (barring point deductions for fouls). The loser receives 9 points in a standard contested round. If a fighter suffers a knockdown, the round is scored 10-8. Two knockdowns usually result in a 10-7 round.
Ringside judges evaluate rounds by: (1) Clean Punching with the knuckle part of the closed glove; (2) Effective Aggressiveness that forces action; (3) Ring Generalship controlling pace and distance; and (4) Defense causing misses.
Only the referee inside the ring can deduct points for unintentional low blows, headbutts, holding, or unsportsmanlike conduct. A deducted point is subtracted from the fighter's final round score (e.g. 10-9 becomes 9-9 or 10-8).
In official professional boxing, three judges independently score the bout. A Unanimous Decision (UD) occurs when all three judges pick the same winner. A Split Decision (SD) occurs when two judges score for Fighter A and one judge scores for Fighter B. A Majority Decision (MD) occurs when two judges score for Fighter A and one scores the bout a draw.
Yes. While athletic commissions strongly urge judges to award the round to the fighter who edged the action, a 10-10 score is legally permissible when a round is genuinely dead-even with neither fighter establishing dominance or clean landing advantages.
No. Official ringside judges evaluate the live action visually in real time without access to television monitors or computerized punch count statistics. CompuBox numbers serve as authoritative broadcast and journalistic references for punch efficiency.
