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

[MulaKO]

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.

So officially it should be a 9/8 round

lol @ this smooth brain proving my point

not once was 9-8 round mentioned



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

Yup I read something else as you can tell it’s not the whole rule
So in this case although B got the knock down but Ortiz dominated the round it would be 9/9

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.

That is correct. A knockdown results in a point deduction.

10 point must system", one or both must get 10 points.

on my care the knockdown rounds were 10-9. If they had been 10-8, I had the fight a draw,113-113 but instead my score was 115-113 Ortiz.

there should never be a 9-8 round, truth.

Yes but if Ortiz dominated the Roy D they say it’s a 9/9 round
I was under the impression the round goes 10/9 cause it was a flash knockdown
I know I read something like that a while ago now I’m not sure where ( amateurs maybe , I don’t know)

For those coping Ortiz fanboys, when a fighter is knocked down in the sport of boxing, that is a 10-8 round for the person that scored the KD. Period. It doesn't mean it's a 9-8 round if the guy who got knocked down outlanded the other boxer by 5 punches. LMFAO that is such desperate cope

You would have to do some serious damage to change it otherwise. Historically that is how the sport of boxing is scored. Period.

You are describing a 10-9 round not 9-8. If you dominate a round and get knocked down it might be a 10-9 but that is very rare.

Gavril Benavidez 1 when David was knocked down, one judge still scored that round 10-9 to Garril rather than 10-8.

Correct. If Ortiz gets knocked down but comes back and dominates the round, it is 9-9.

In your other post where you list the scoring rules, Item #3, point #5 says "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."

I'm not sure why it says the judges "may" score it 10-9? An official knockdown is the loss of a point, period. If both fighters each go down once, then it is technically 9-9 at that point...... and whoever loses the round loses another point, making it 9-8. If they decide to magically bump up the 9-8 round to 10-9, it is pointless, but the end result would be exactly the same.

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.

Stop citing blogs.

There is no universal standard as to precisely how the System should be applied, but the ABC provides overarching guidance on the concept in its Official Certification Program for Judges and Referees (Certification Program),⁵ which states:

“the winner of each round will [i.e. “must”] receive 10 points, (minus any points deductions for fouls) with the lesser score awarded to the loser of the round (minus any points deductions for fouls).⁶ There are to be no fraction of points awarded, and in the event of an even round, the score will be 10/10. Even rounds should rarely, if ever happen.”

That is correct. A knockdown results in a point deduction.

No its not. A points deduction means a foul lol.

This is from the pro judging general rules on the abc boxing website.

That gives the exact same end result. They are just "magically" adding a point to each fighter (I alluded to in a different post)...... creating a 10-10 round when it technically should be 9-9. Dumb and pointless, but the end result doesn't change.
