9-8 Rounds Are Extremely Rare In Boxing...

[moochi]

It's a 10 point must system. The only way a fighter who got the 10 points can get less is if there is a point deduction.

Also..... just responding to the title of the thread...... that would not necessarily be "extremely rare". A 9-8 round would happen if the fighters knocked each other down once in a round, then assuming one guy "won" the round overall. Each lose a point for the knockdown, then the loser of the round loses another point, thus, 9-8. It happens.

Now.... it really depends on the severity of the knockdown, and it does get subjective. Think back to the Deontay Wilder KD of Tyson Fury in the 12th round of their first fight. That was a brutal knockdown. At that point, Fury would have to do A LOT to come back and actually win that round.

don't pull chit out of your ass.



show me an example of the last time a judge officially scored a 9-8 round in a main event.


I'll wait.

You can wait all night for all I care. I'm correct.

The 10-Point Must System for Boxing

February 8, 2022 Deniz Ates
The modern boxing scoring system, also known as the 10 Point Must System, was first introduced in 1968 by the World Boxing Council (WBC) as a rational way of scoring fights.

To summarize briefly, here is how it works:

1. The scoring is carried out by three ringside judges.
2. The boxers begin a round with 10 points each - judges ‘must’ award them 10-10.
3. The boxer who receives the most clean punches loses a point, and the judges score the round 10-9.
   1. If the boxer is knocked down, they lose an additional point - the judges score it 10-8.
   2. If the boxer is knocked down a second time, they lose an additional point - the judges score it 10-7.
   3. If a boxer dominates the round but also gets knocked down, the judges score it 9-9.
   4. If a boxer completely dominates a round, the judges may score it 10-8, even without a knockdown.
   5. If both fighters score a knockdown in the same round, the deductions cancel each other out, though the judges may still award the more dominant boxer 10-9.
4. If the referee deducts a point, this is calculated after the initial score - even if the boxer wins the round.
5. If the boxers are evenly matched for the round, the judges score it 10-10.

At the end of 12-rounds, assuming the fight goes the distance, the tallies of all three judges are added up to determine three final scores.

For example, if Boxer A won eight rounds and lost four, they get eight scores of 10 and four of 9 making (80 + 36) 116. If Boxer B won four rounds and lost eight, they get four scores of 10 and eight of 9 making (40 + 72) 112.

Yes you are

I had Bohachuk winning 115-112. But I did have that round 10-9 for Bohachuk rather than 10-8, because Ortiz came back in that round big. He made up for the KD, but still lost the round.

"If the boxer is knocked down, they lose an additional point - the judges score it 10-8." PERIOD
