<p>Koking: Point scoring</p> <hr /> <div>Points are calculated as follows:<br /> <br /> There are typically 3 judges for each fight. <br /> <br /> If a judge deems that fighter A has won or out boxed fighter B in a round, then he will score the round 10 to fighter A and 9 to fighter B.<br /> <br /> If fighter B is knocked down by fighter A and receives a standing count, then the round is scored 10 points to fighter A and 8 points to fighter B.<br /> <br /> If the judge decides that neither fighter won a round then he or she will score it 10 points to each fighter.<br /> <br /> If a fighter is a penalized by the referee, eg for a low blow, then the referee will instruct the judges to deduct a point for that fighter from their score card for that round only.<br /> <br /> The referee also scores each round on his own score card, but this only used if there is no clear winner from the judges.<br /> <br /> At the end of all 12 rounds the points are totaled for all the rounds and each judge gives his or her decision for the whole fight. So Judge 1 might score it 118 to fighter B and 119 to fighter A and give fighter A the decision. Judge 2 will give his total and Judge 3 will give his total.<br /> <br /> A Judge may total his scoring and both fighters receive the same total of points. The decision from that judge will be a draw.<br /> <br /> The fighter with the most judges’ decisions wins. <br /> <br /> A split decision is one judge scores it a win for fighter A and the other two judges score it a win for fighter B. <br /> <br /> If however, one judge scores it a draw, one scores it a win for fighter A and one scores it a win for fighter B, then and only then is the referee's score card used to try and decide a winner. If there is still no outright winner the fight is classed as a draw (which is what most fans hate).<br /> <br /> <br /> * ''See also,'' [http://coxscorner.tripod.com/scoring.htm &quot;How To Score A Fight!&quot;] by Monte D.
