I'm tired of ppl saying

[leathernvouges]

"u don't know how to score a fight" ppl must realize boxing is based on perception and opinion if a fighter is on his toes boxing and hitting his opponent while his opponent is coming forward pressing the action but missing some judges would say the person who was pressing the action but missing won and some would say the person who was avoiding the punches using the ring size to his advantage won it all depends on the style u like. Is there a guide that a judge has to follow to score a round idk but if it was so easy every judge would have the same score all the time. The inconsistent scoring is what turns casuals off boxing. Or maybe a fighter should interview the judges to see what style they like before the fight so he can fight accordingly

When do the judges become announced for a fight?

A lot of judges don't like runners, I'll tell you that much.

This is your first night at fight club, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT.

I always liked Max's simplification on judging: Which guy would you rather be for the round?

That makes the most sense to me, it unfortunately causes me to give rounds to Miguel Vasquez so maybe I should try something new

Then they don't know how to score a fight

[bojangles1987]

Accurate scoring is not subjective or opinionated. Whoever is landing the most clean punches wins the round. No ifs, ands, buts, or opinion of any kind involved.

The only opinion comes when two fighters land roughly the same amount of punches.

[Daylyt]

Nope boxing is only scored by who can clinch the most in a round.

[Doctor_Tenma]

Plenty of people don't know how to score, I've learned that more the last few years.

There's nothing I hate more than when people say the phrase "it depends what you like" when it comes to scoring.

[Jc8804]

Yeah judges are bias.

I score fights like this

1.ring general. Who dictates the pace and space of the fight .who gains the the timing and comfort.

2.smart agression. Meaning when you decide throw punches you become aggressive , are you landing your jab an essential weapon in boxing and are you landing power shots and are you landing body shots moving forward sideways or backward.I count head shots as 75% of the score chart for points 25% for body shots.how hard you hit doesnt matter.ring generalship will take effect if a boxer doesnt have power at somepoint. (Paulie)

3. Defense. Do you make your opponent miss with movement or head movement or do you deflect (catch or roll ) punches in which they do not land? Do you neutralize your opponents offense or smart aggression .

4. Do you hurt or damage your opponent ? Who would i have rather have been in recovery during the break physically .


Scoring fights based off activity
Or volume or can come into play, but not very often,Yet its used in scoring way to often. While the others are sometimes neglected.
