Thread: Does an knock-down automatically win you the round...???

I really don't know...It seems so in most fights,but I thought if someone gets a beating in a round and still manages to score a knock-down the round could be scored as 9 - 9...Or does the boxer automatically win because of the kd...?!?

Not Auto,but its hard as heck to win a round after that,youd have to torch the guy the rest of the round and it be a flash for the ref's to give it to you

No. It doesn't guarantee a 10-8 round either, although that is usually the case.

I think if a person gets a point deducted or gets knocked down, they have to beat the living shit out of the opponent to get the round to be a 9-9 round. I mean landing like 3 or 4 times as many shots, and hurt the opponent at least one.

I thought they called it the 10 point must system because barring a penalty one fighter must be given 10 points. That was just my understanding of the rules.

Damn...I've forgotten this...but you are right...this would actually mean that a knock-down wins you the rnd even if its the only punch that connected from one boxer while the other one has beaten the crap out of him...

i would say in 99.9% of the time yes it does. Not many people like to give a 10-10 round, they all try and look for something to edge the other guy to the 10-9 win. So for someone to give someone a 9-9 round would take something special.

I'm fairly sure there has been rounds where a person has been floored and gotten an even round... i'm sure some of the fact machinces on here can quote the fighters, but someone would have to batter someone for pretty much an entire round and get dropped right at the end to score it 9-9 or get dropped right at the start and dominate the rest in style. Hardly ever happenes.

most fighters who get put down go into a shell for a little while - or you will often find when a fighter is put down the floeerer gets a small boost and steps it up a gear.
