I stumbled over this scoring
http://www.boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Fight:23211
Is that a typo, or can someone explain what it means?
Thank you for any answer.
What means a scoring like "5-4-1, 5-5 (9-8), 4-5-1"

Scored by rounds.

And what means "(9-8)"?

The first mentioned boxer won the 5-5 round on points for a split decision win.

NY had a rounds system of scoring that was supplemented by a points system in case of a draw.
So, in this case, with rounds even 5 each, the supplemental points were used to decide the winner.
In my opinion this was an excellent system, in theory if not practice. This was used at least through 1976 -- see for example Billy Douglas W 10 Pedro Soto.
