	~~The referee also scores each round on his own score card, but this only used if there is no clear winner from the judges.~~

	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.		== See Also ==

	A Judge ~~may total his scoring and both fighters receive~~ the ~~same total~~ of ~~points. The decision from that judge will be a draw.~~		* [[You Be the Boxing Judge! Judging Professional Boxing for the TV Boxing Fan]]

	~~The fighter with the most judges’ decisions wins.~~		== External Links ==

	~~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.~~		* [http://coxscorner.tripod.com/scoring.htm How To Score A Fight] by Monte D. Cox

	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).
