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?

Re: What is Your Criteria For Scoring Rounds?
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.

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.
