Should a knockdown automatically be 10-8?

Just about to say that... very close rounds should just be scored 10-10 instead of guessing or showing favorites. If you don't know or really have to think about it; it's a draw. Totally agree with that. Otherwise you're likely to invoke a bias to pick the winner of the round.

There should never be an arbitrary way to score knockdowns, despite what hard headed Lederman always says. The judges are able to use their discretion to score them. Also, the only way a round can ever be scored 9-9 is if the referee orders a point deduction. That is why it is called the "10 point must system".

Just about to say that... very close rounds should just be scored 10-10 instead of guessing or showing favorites. If you don't know or really have to think about it; it's a draw. yep! fights like manny pacquiao - juan manuel marquez, or joe calzaghe - bernard hopkins would have been wider decisions had judges scored draw rounds for what they were. DRAW ROUNDS.

Some fighters can disguise a hurtful KD very well. Well, that's true. I also started to wonder, are the alphabet organizations following the exactly same general outlines for scoring a round. We are aware of WBC:s nutty head collision point deductions. Are there more differences between them?

well almost everytime a fighter gets knocked down they lose the round. every now and then they may come back and win the round, but they need to win it CLEAR CUT to change the point. whats more bullshit though is the fact that judges never score draw rounds. its ****ing gay, and ****s up so many decisions.

a knock down is 10-8 for the one who knocked him down anything else is unsivalised.

I might be wrong but ... don't you think a lot (most) of the judges make it easy for themselves? 10-8 it is. 99 per cent of the times.

Following or preceding a KD, the fighter who gets dropped has to do damage to avoid a 2 point rd against him. Simply outboxin a guy ain't good enuf to make it 10-9 when you've been dropped imo. I agree that flash KD's should only be 10-9, but that's too open to interpretation. Some fighters can disguise a hurtful KD as a flash very well.

they'd score it 10-9 in that case or 9-9 10 means the fighter won the round convincingly. If Fighter A is winning 90% of the round but gets caught once in the round with a Flash-KD...it deducts a point from him...giving him a 9. Fighter B who was losing 90% can only tie the round up; not win it by a simple flash-KD. That's what I always thought. The only time you can win the round is if fighter B knocks fighter A down...then jumps on him and has some time to keep ****ing him up so bad that it looks like if there were no bell to ring, the fight would be over.

If the fighter that was knocked down was dominating 90% of the round, it should end up a 9-9 round.
