Not the criteria obviously, but there are some scores like 49-43 in a 10 round bout. Did they use a five point system?

Also when scoring on a 10 point system what would be the extra stuff for 15 rounds.

Like

12 rounds to 0 is 120-108
11 to 1: 119-109
10-2: 118-110
9-3: 117-111
8-4: 116-112
7-5: 115-113
6-6-: 114-114

What are the common scores for a 15 round bout (ten point system)

15 to 0:
14 to 1:
13-2:
12-3:
11-4
10-5
9-6
8-7

Scores like 49-43 in a 10 round fight is because of the 5 point must system.

15-0 would be 150-135 so 149-136, 148-137, 147-138, 146-139, 145-140, 144-141, 143-142.

Back in the old days some times they were done like

X won this round
X lost this round

kinda like that

Yeah, mostly by rounds. Sometimes rounds + supplimental scoring (New York), and the five point must was common too. When I watch older fights I score using ten point must regardless of the scoring system actually used for the fight. Mostly that's post 1960 because I've found complete fights to be a rarity prior to 1960.

Thanks. ESPN classic probably has the full fights, but they just don't air it all, which kind of pisses me off. Especially when I was watching Louis-Conn.
