Comments Thread For: Judge Tom Schreck: But How Do You Really Score a Round?

[SteveM]

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.

you are noting down every punch with a score of 1-5 ? How the fook do you keep up when the fists are flying? Sometimes both fighters throw more than a 1,000 punches in a 12 round fight - or 2,000 total - that's an average of +160 a round or close to one punch thrown every second

[SteveM]

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.

erm, just no!! Investing in body work pays dividends later - always has done and always will. And concussive blows to the head add up

And then you ask what is wrong with boxing

we're on the same page on this

In scoring terms, genius.

Sheeeeet I don't make the rules but between the time they get made & the time they get remade...

[TheProudLunatic]

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

Even if the other guy outlands him 10 to 1 ?

Thems the regulations.

Thems the regulations.

Logic must prevail

[PittyPat]

A knockdown should be the only non-subjective scoring element. Outlanded your opponent, battered him? Great. But don't slip on that banana peel or your work gets undone.
