How Do Judges Score Fights in Boxing?
In boxing, judges evaluate fights using a 10-point scoring system. Each round is scored separately, and the winner of each round receives 10 points. The loser receives 9 points, or less if they are penalized.
Judges consider several factors when scoring a round, including:
- Effective punches: Punches that land cleanly and with power.
- Aggression: The fighter who is more active and initiates more punches.
- Defense: The fighter who avoids punches and blocks or parries effectively.
- Ring control: The fighter who moves around the ring effectively and controls the pace of the fight.
- Clinching and holding: Penalized actions that waste time and prevent clean punching.
At the end of the fight, the judge's scores are tallied. The fighter with the highest total score is declared the winner.
