How do you score a boxing match?

[MRBOOMER]

How do you actually do it?
And how do you?

[Danny Gunz]

Watch the Paul Williams - Lara fight then do the opposite of what those judges did.

[RL_GMA]

I take into account:

Who landed the most shots
Who was more active
Who controlled the pace
Who's shots were most significant
Ring generalship

In the case where the fight is really close, but not close enough for a draw, I look at the pace and significance of the shots. Good example is Cotto vs Mosley where both landed about the same, but Cotto landing the more noticeable shots and controlling the pace for majority of the fight.

[Sparked_1985]

Who's the boss.

Who lands more punches.

Who has more attacking intent

A round is 3 minutes long - who controlled the majority of those 3 minutes?

[Toney Loc]

Clean punches above everything else.

[Spray_resistant]

Number of punches landed, the effectiveness of those punches, who is landing more of the effective punches during that round through the entire 3 minute course of the round which is important to me, landing 2 hard shots early on for ex. while someone is constantly working and scoring doesn't usually get a fighter a round with me unless someone was badly hurt.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

depends on a few things


clean effective punching
ring generalship


and if Paul Williams is fighting, you score all rounds that he lost 10-10

[tredh]

I score fights based on the rules given for scoring a fight

defense
affective aggression
ring generalship
clean punching

really? should just be who landed the more and better shots

forget the whole generalship, pace, aggression sht

I agree with this.

Ring generalship is a very loose term that people interpret different ways.
