Enter scores for each round using the 10-point must system (10 for winner, 9 or less for loser)

  2. Select the scoring system (10-Point Must is standard for professional boxing)
  3. For each round, enter the score for Fighter 1 and Fighter 2

Scoring System Explained

Total Score = Σ(Round Scores)

10-Point Must System:

  • Winner of round receives 10 points
  • Loser receives 9 points or less
  • 8 points for a knockdown in the round
  • 7 points for multiple knockdowns in the round

Example Calculation

Championship Bout Example:

A 12-round championship fight between Fighter A and Fighter B, with Fighter A winning 8 rounds and Fighter B winning 4 rounds.

Given:

  • Fighter A wins 8 rounds with 10 points each = 80 points
  • Fighter A loses 4 rounds with 9 points each = 36 points
  • Fighter B wins 4 rounds with 10 points each = 40 points
  • Fighter B loses 8 rounds with 9 points each = 72 points

Calculation:

Fighter A total: 80 + 36 = 116 points
Fighter B total: 40 + 72 = 112 points

Result: Fighter A wins by unanimous decision (116-112)

Common Mistakes & Tips

Many people incorrectly assign points in boxing. Remember that the winner of a round always gets 10 points, while the loser gets 9 or less. A round cannot end with both fighters having 10 points unless it's a draw.

Knockdowns significantly impact scoring. A fighter who scores a knockdown typically wins the round 10-8. If there are multiple knockdowns, the score could be 10-7. Failing to account for knockdowns leads to inaccurate scoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 10-point must system is the standard scoring method in professional boxing. The winner of each round receives 10 points, while the loser receives 9 points or fewer. A close round might be scored 10-9, while a round with a knockdown is typically 10-8.

A draw can occur in several ways: 1) Split draw (two judges score for different fighters, one scores a draw), 2) Majority draw (two judges score a draw, one for a fighter), or 3) Unanimous draw (all three judges score the fight as a draw). In our calculator, if both fighters have the same total points, the result is a draw.

A majority decision occurs when two judges score the bout for the same fighter, and the third judge scores it a draw. A split decision happens when two judges score for one fighter, and the third judge scores for the other fighter. In both cases, the fighter with two judges in their favor wins the bout.
