Ok guys, does anyone know what kind of scoring system was used for Glen Johnon - Silvio Branco fight?. The final scoring were:
judge: Francesco Rega 226-236 | judge: Dave Stone 221-238 | judge: Des Bloyd 222-237
I'm really curious about it, I don't think I saw it in any other fight.
Another system that I don't know how works, is with fractions, that was used in United Kingdom in the past, for example in Brian London - Zora Folley Fight
49¾-48¾

And they still use this, or similar system in Argentina today, for example in Lucas Martin Matthysse - Carlos Adan Jerez fight:
100-91½ | judge: Nestor Calvet 100-94 | judge: Carlos Platel 99½-92
Could any knowledgable guy here please explain me how should I score fight using this systems? Thank you!

The Johnson - Branco fight was scored on a 20-point-must system. Even rounds are 20-20, winning rounds are 20-19, 20-18 and so on.

In old England they used 1/4 fractions of points so a winning round was 5 -4 3/4, or 5 - 4 1/2 if it was a big winning round. Later they turned to 10 point must system, but with 1/2 point margins so a winning round was 10-9 1/2 or 10 - 9 for a big round. now they use 10-point-must like most of the world.

You can find some wierd scoring systems in older USA fights. The boxers shared 10 points in every round, so a winning round was 6-4 or 7-3 with even rounds scored 5-5. In California they even used 1/2 point margins, so a winning round could be 5 1/2 - 4 1/2

The WBU briefly had a 20-point system and also if there was what anyone else would call a majority draw (e.g. 114-114, 114-114, 115-113), they would award the win to the boxer who got the one vote.

Don't forget before the ten point must system rounds were scored for/against a fighter purely by rounds so you had scores like 6-8 turned in, when in reality the fight would/could have been much wider.

Also - 3 judges is now commonplace but previously the referee would routinely score the fight in addition to 2 ringside judges. Referees scoring fights is still common in the UK at least, for non title fights.

I could see how the half point scoring system would be confusing to the average fight fan. I'm glad they don't do that here, that's an odd one indeed. The 10 point must is the most understandable I've seen, The round system was simple also , but it didn't give extra credit for knockdowns so naturally it had to go.

What the hell was the scoring system in Galindez v. Kosie Smith?
