Flashback to Eubank Jr's only "defeat", it was officially a Split Decision win for Saunders but one of the judges saw it very much in Eubank's favour, awarding him 7 rounds, Saunders 4 rounds and scoring one round a draw.
From Chris Eubank Jr's official YouTube channel, watch the fight and drop your scorecard:
So what's the score if a fighter scores a flash knockdown but is otherwise dominated in a round?
He wins 10-9. Isn't really fair but that's pretty standard

like the judges we have now are good? its better to score a round even then give it to the wrong guy. watching a fight live judges always get it wrong so unless its clear just score it even. a fight like kovalev-ward would have been 6 rounds to kovalev 1 to ward and 5 even if all the close rounds were scored even and they would have gotten the right winner instead of pretending that ward won every round that was even a little close.

i suppose it depends on the judges involved. some judges always score a round with a knockdown as 10-8 no matter what. i guess it really depends on what you mean by dominating the rest of the round. are they outboxing the guy and cleanly winning the round but didnt inflict serious damage, i would personally score a round like that 10-10. if they guy who got knocked down came back and put on a real beatdown, i'd go 10-9 in favor of the guy who got knocked down.
based on the unified rules of boxing you couldn't score that type of round as 9-8 or 9-9 unless it involved a point deduction.
there's almost always a 10-point must system in effect. the only time it would be acceptable to not give the winner of a round 10 points is when there's a point deduction for illegal tactics.

Then what happens if Fighter A scores a flash knockdown and Fighter B dominates the rest of the round?
You mean a 9-8 round?..
That would be a 9-9 round. Fighter B would otherwise win the round 10-9 but loses a point for being knocked down. 9-9.

Saunders looks like he has no ambition whatsoever, whereas Eubank is full of it. Billy has talent but Eubank looks to be the one that's still improving.
It was a very close fight and that was a very raw Eubank, he just took too long to start bullying Saunders.
Eubank will utterly dominate him in a rematch, and they both know it.
I'd have to agree with you seeing as Saunders has regressed since that. His conditioning has always been a problem and Eubank is the opposite. I still think Saunders wins a few early rounds but Eubank would come into the fight earlier than last time.

Or indeed if a fighter wins a round 10-9 and is deducted a point for a foul.
No it's not.. in most commissions In the states they would lose their job someone has to win the round no such thing as a draw round..like i said draw rounds = dksab

What commissions look for is a score which accurately reflects the outcome of the round, so that's the reason a draw round exists as a possible scoring option because sometimes it's the most accurate way to score the round. Draw rounds basically provide the option of a more finely-tuned final scorecard which, in posterity, can help to indicate how close a round was, or indeed how close the fight was.
If you limit yourself to just scoring the round for one fighter or the other, and you staunchly resist scoring a draw round based of some principle of "dksab", then all you're doing is reducing the overall accuracy of your own scorecard.
No.. I actually know what I'm watching

I dont know why it decreased, but in the 90s and 80s judges used 10-10 rounds more often than nowadays.
In my personal opinion, I think judges should be encouraged to use more 10-10 rounds.
Especially in some feel out rounds in the beginning of the fight, where both guys are just probing for distance and timing, without really hitting the other guy, I dont want to award one fighter a 10-9 round just because he maybe touch the other guy with one soft jab more.
I think Eubanks knows he lost to bjs.
So maybe realised bus was better than he thought he'd be.
Having said that Eubanks knew he was on bjs level now whilst before only thought he was.
BJS won the fight.
He tired in the second half and Eubank won some rounds but at the end of the day Saunders skill at holding, turning and killing time neutralized most of Eubanks work.
Eubank was outboxed and outsmarted, he knew it as well - ran out the venue with no press conference.
