????? Always thought a knockdown was 2 points and one for each one after the fact. The best outcome would be a 9-8 round. Don't think that a fighter that has been dropped can achieve a 9-9 but im no judge
a KD is 1 point no matter if its the first one, only reason it always ends in a 10-8 cause the oppenent who was KD also lost the round (1 point). so it ends in 10-8 for the one who scored the KD and won the round.
It's rare to get a 10-8 round without a KD or point deduction, so even if fighter A won the round he would only pull 1 point back which means he still loses it 10-9.
But if the fighter who scored the knock down loses the round, he doesn't get a 10-8. One point in a 10-8 is the kd and one is winning the round.
Judges use the 10-Point Must System in professional bouts. This system assigns ten points to the winner of each round. The loser receives nine points for a close round, eight points if he was knocked down or dominated, and seven points if he was knocked down twice. If a round is even and neither boxer was knocked down, both boxers receive 10 points. If each boxer was knocked down once, the knockdowns are disregarded and the winner of the round receives 10 points, while the loser receives nine points.
Hmmm....Everytime I see televised scorecard a KD always 10-8 round unless the other fighter scores one of his own even when one fighters glove just touches the canvas
a fighter CAN even the round despite being KD yes 9-9, but in order to win will have to have a very very dominant reminder of the round 2pnts (to my memory I have yet to witness this) or score a KD 2pnts himself to make it 9-8 in his favor.
