10-7, how can you win a round that you got dropped twice in and almost stopped ?

That overrides anything that happened befor that unless both fighters get KDs

Common sense says if you get dropped 2x in the span of 3 minutes, there's no way you're winning the round,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 10-7

The better question would be, was that 2nd knockdown legit? I didn't see the replay but I'm not too sure it was.

It was more of a push than anything.

Firstly what happens before the kd is irrelevant most of the time. So even if Dirrell was winning the round, the kd is more than enough to swing it back to degale. Especially a heavy kd like that.

So it is a 10-7 round to Degale.

I had it 10-7 myself personally but Paul Smith on Twitter (he later deleted the tweets) was saying people were daft and need to google 10 point must system etc if they thought it was 10-7

Paul Smith must still be struggling with the beatdown Chunky gave him.

10-7 is the only score for that round unless you are Dirrell's mother.

You are right if you are referring to this fight. But what if a boxer was CLEARLY dominating a round but was caught with a flush KDs twice 30 sec before rd ends? You still give him a 10-7? I don't think so. One KD is given a point. The round itself, less the KD, is another point.

Well, I didn't see the match your talking about but to answer the thread question, I would imagine that the way to score it would be to first focus on everything that happened in the round EXCEPT for the KD's, score it appropriately there, and then deduct 2 points for the KD's.

So basically, this guy claiming it was a 10-8 round, is saying that those KD's were freak occurances, not set up significantly in any way and that for the rest of the time, the round was fought evenly.

If that's what happened, so be it.. It sometimes can happen and in the case of a single KD, often does... But I find it hard to believe that it was. Most likely this other guy is on crack or doesn't know how to score a fight.

In extremely rare cases maybe.

If it was a flash KD and the guy who got knocked down was battering his opponent for the rest of the round I can see the argument. Definitely not in the Degale Dirrell fight.

You have to remember the KD is a part of the round still. You cant judge who won the round while ignoring the fact that one guy got put on his arse.

The KD's were part of the round. You cant judge the round without taking into account a KD lol.

If the round is even and one fighter gets knocked down, then he has lost the round 10-8. 10-9 for winning the round (based on knocking the other guy over) and another point for the KD makes it 10-8.
