Hier nochmal eine ausführlichere "Anleitung" zum Scoring der Runden:
HAROLD LEDERMAN ON SCORING
Professional boxing matches are almost universally scored on what we refer to as the ten-point must system. In this system, the winner of a round receives ten points, and the loser nine or less. Even rounds are scored ten points for each fighter, but judges try to avoid even rounds, and most of them will make a decision and choose a winner and loser in rounds. All world title fights are scored using this system, and most states use this system.
There are still a few exceptions, such as Illinois, which uses a five-point must system with the same principle, the loser receiving four points or less. Great Britain uses a more complicated half-point system, except in world title fights, when they go along with the sanctioning body whose title is at stake. Anyone proficient in math can figure out that using a numerical system can actually allow a fighter to win less rounds, but still have more points and thereby win the fight.
Knowing this, we are ready to go into detail about scoring a round. Theoretically, each round is scored using four criteria. Each of these criteria is supposed to count for 25 %. The four criteria are clean punching, effective aggressiveness, ring generalship and defense. We define ring generalship as who is controlling the fight, putting his opponent where he wants him, and using good movement in the ring.
Effective aggressiveness means landing punches while you are moving forward. If you are aggressive and not landing punches, it doesn't count. All good judges will tell you that clean punching counts a lot more than everything else in scoring a round in professional boxing.
So now you know what to look for. At the end of each round, you write your score on a slip and give it to the referee, who turns it in to the person keeping a master score sheet. In this system, once you score a round, you can't change your mind.
If Jones wins round one over Smith by a slight margin, you score ten points for Jones and nine rounds for Smith. If Jones scores one knockdown in round two and is winning the round, Jones gets ten points and Smith gets eight points. In round three, if Jones scores two knockdowns, he should win by 10-7. Standing eight counts by the referee is scored the same as a knockdown. If the referee deducts a point for a foul from a fighter who has won the round, that round will have a net total of 9-9, since we must deduct a point from the fighter who committed the foul. Point deductions are strictly the domain of the referee, who does not score himself, but will instruct the judges to deduct points for infractions.
