    Can a one knockdown round be scored 10-7?

    Alright, say there is a 10-8 style assbeating (one that warrants a 10-8 round without a knockdown), and on top of that, there is a knockdown in the round.

    Examples
    De La Hoya vs. Quartey 12th Round - Oscar drops Ike at the beginning of the round. After that he pins him on the ropes and ****s him up beyond belief (I am in awe that Mitch Halpern didn't stop that ****. His head was about to fly off of his shoulders!) for quite an extended period of time.

    Vazquez vs. Marquez III 12th Round - Vazquez batters Marquez around the ring, and then knocks him down at the end.

    I'm pretty sure no official judge scored either of those rounds 10-8, but I am curious, could it be correct to score a round like that 10-7?

    I have never done it but it would be justified if the fighter that got knocked down got dominated for the entire round.

        in one of the Gatti-Ward trilogy. i think one judge gave a 10-7 to Ward that ultimately won him the fight. Anybody pls enlightened me if im mistaken.

          I was thinking about that after watching the fight a couple of times. It might not be fair to the other fighter, leaving them behind too much. but then again, without the knockdown, Vazquez would have got a 10-8 round. and the knockdown at the last second would be fair, IMO, to make it a 10-7 round.

            Too many judges only give extra points on knockdowns, and they do that arbitrarily. There should definitely be 10-7 rounds under those circumstances, just as there should be 10-8 rounds without a knockdown.

              i think it can be done, but it would take away a lot of points from already knocked down fighter.

              it's mostly judged on what the fighter does, and it depends on the judge too

              in the first moorer-holyfiled fight mike was knocked down in the second round, but before he dominated the action the entire round. and if my memory serves me right, one or all three judges actually scored it even, or only a 10-9 round in favour of holyfiled, because michael was doing so well before he hit the deck. it actually caused minor controversy later on in the scoring. but it's how the judge sees it.

                In Miller-Woods last year, Miller was knocked down in the early part of the second or third round (can't remember which one). Then Miller came back and beat the **** out of Woods for the rest of that round. Teddy Atlas scored that round 10-10, which I thought was very interesting.

                  In that case I think it should've been 9-8 or 9-9.

                    It is too harsh to rule it a 10 7 round. Its a twelve round fight and too punish the fighter for having one bad round is almost unfair. It almost gives the fighter the win based on one good round. And losses it for the other fighter. You cant make that big of an impact on the result of the fight based on one round. If he went down 2 times then yes 10-7 is justified.
