If Fighter A is winning a round in decisive or excessive decisive fashion but then suffers a knockdown, that doesn’t automatically make it a 10-8 for Fighter B. That might still be a 10-9 round

Which sucks. A knockdown should be a hard cause for 10–8, no matter what.

I don't speak English. Hagler won that tenth round 10-9, between moderate and decisive. I have about 500 fights listed on my boxrec profile. I do it like this: I see how good the punch is and how much damage it does. I give each one a score from 1 to 5. And I add and subtract, until I end up with a number somewhere in the middle. I've compared my scores with the official ones, and they're pretty good.

What about if it’s a flash knockdown ???
How would you support that being labeled as a 10/8 round

Because they've (officially) hit the canvas. Simple.

So the guy who dominates the round but gets knocked down ( flash knockdown ) gets a 10/8 the other way around

Yes, as he should.

Suffering a knockdown without scoring one renders all previous work in a round irrelevant, just like suffering a knockout renders all previous work in a fight irrelevant.

And then you ask what is wrong with boxing

Not really. Why? There's light knockdowns such as loss of balance and touching glove and heavy knockdowns - ie Fury in first Wilder fight - I see them completely differently - but for the knocked down fighter to only suffer a 1 point deduction he had better be doing damage the rest of the round.
