We now normally use the "ten point must system" where the fight is being scored per round.
The fighter who gets the better of the other wins a round getting 10 points, the loser gets nine points. If there's a knockdown, the fighter who got knocked down loses a point. So the round would be scored 10-8 if there's one KD or 10-7 if there are 2 KDS.
The scores for all the rounds will be summed up at the end of the fight and there you have the final score.
If the fight was stoipped before the fourth round for any reason they rule it NC (no contest). If the fight was stopped after the fourth round then they'll go to the scorecards. -
This is what I have always wondered bear with me
Say Mayweather is beating Oscar's ass at 10-9 in the first round. If Oscar then knocks down Mayweather, does that become 9-9 or will it be seen that Oscar wins the round cos of the knockdown, then making it 10-8 to Oscar.
So basically what Im asking is what is usually the score for a round if someone clearly outboxes their opponent, but gets knocked down.Comment

To add up . . . there are rare occurences like the guy who's punishing or dominating the other fighter...
... gets a point deduction, so that round becomes a 9-9 round.
... gets KDed because of a wicked punch from the opponent just before the end of the round that also becomes a 9-9 round.Comment

Okay thanks for clearing that up. I'm gonna try score fights in the future.Comment

If it's obvious that a fighter was being beaten down to pieces by the opponent then sudenly he scored a KD then it's gonna be a 9-9 round. But if the fighters are exchanging punches the whole round and sudenly one went down to the canvas then it becomes subjective friend. That's why we have three judges.
It's more likely that the guy who scored the KD will win the round and get a 10-8 round.

10 point must systemComment

from http://coxscorner.tripod.com/scoring.htm here are the four keys to scoring a round
a) Effective Aggression
The key to the first category is the word "effective." One may be going forward, trying to get at ones opponent, forcing them back, but not throwing punches, or missing badly. In order to be "effective" one must have success landing consistently while moving forward. It should be noted that the opponent, who is "out-boxing" or keeping the fight at a distance, can be the "effective aggressor" by initiating the punching exchanges.
b) Defense
A badly over-looked aspect of boxing, especially in scoring a fight. Defense is a part of combat. In boxing it is the ability to hit the opponent without being hit in return. Defense may include ducking, dodging, bobbing and weaving, parrying, blocking, slipping, and sidestepping, as well as effectively utilizing the clinch.
c) Ring Generalship
The person who dictates the tempo of the fight and controls the action in the ring is the ring general. The boxer who makes the other man fight his fight. If fighter A keeps the fight in ring center, and nullifies the "aggression" of fighter B he is the better ring general." Or if fighter B effectively cuts off the ring and forces fighter A to the ropes where he can go to work he then is the better ring general.
d) Clean and Hard Punching
This should be obvious, but it's not. Since many fans and sportswriters ignore the two previous categories they often fail to understand what is actually taking place in the ring. A "clean" blow is one that lands flush without being blocked by his opponent. But how many times has one heard an announcer "Oh what a left hook by so and so!" The problem is the punch landed on his opponent's glove and only made a loud noise and didn't score at all. Some blows are "partially blocked"; meaning it did not land with its full force. Such blows are not "clean" punches. Also it is not the amount of punches that are thrown the matters, but the amount of blows that land. Hard punching is important as the amount of damage a blow causes counts in the scoring. In the amateurs a knockdown is only as good as a jab, but in the pro's its worth much more. One hard right that staggers the opponent though is not worth ten hard jabs that snap back the opponent's head. Damaging blows and their value are difficult to assess and that is why boxing is subjective. However it should be noted that landing 3 or 4 punches that hurt an opponent in the last seconds of a round are not enough to make up for losing the first two and a half minutes of the round where he was out-boxed. After all the name of the game is boxing not slugging!Comment
