What is Your Criteria For Scoring Rounds?

Post by keithmoonhangover »

Punches Landed
Do you count the amount of shots you see land?
Do you score overhand rights, left hooks, uppercut different to jabs?
If a guy lands five clean jabs, then the other guy lands a cuffing right hand, who do you favor in that exchange?

Defence
If a boxer catches 90% of his opponents jabs, how does that effect your scoring?
If boxer A lands slightly less comparable shots, but has defended very well and was more accurate, how would you score that round?

Are there any other factors that effect your scoring a round?

Primarily damage done.

If all appears equal in terms of effectiveness of the shots, then it's gonna be all about who's landing more, but if you see a fight where one guy lands a flurry of pitty pat shots that don't do much while his opponent responds with 1 or 2 shots that have his opponent wobbling. The 1 or 2 punches meant more.

But yeah damage done. The guy that's hurting the other guy worse, is the guy that's winning the fight.

I don't count the number of punches landed.
As for the kinds of punches, I go by how cleanly the punches landed. Means more if a guy is hurt.
I would normally say the guy who landed 5 jabs won the exchange over the other guy who landed the right hand, assuming the guy wasn't hurt by the right hand.

If a boxer catches the rights hands with his glove, I count it as the same as missing.
For you last question, I go by who landed more clean punches assuming neither fighter was hurt.
Should mention that I don't count it against a guy if he misses. i.e if Fighter A throws a ton of punches, misses most of them, I would probably give him the round over Fighter B who landed 5 out of 5 punches.

Wanted to mention one big thing: You should be keeping track of who you have ahead the entire round. If someone asked you who you have ahead at any point of a round, you should be able to give an immediate response.
