Some weeks ago i watched again very even fights e.g between Kessler and Froch, Froch and Dirrell and some similar ones. I just wonder why there are seldom scorecard results 9-9 rounds or 10-8 without knock downs.
What does rulebook of boxing say about it?
I thought it was a 10point must system ???
Yes, that's correct: A 9-9 round gets upgraded to a 10-10.
What if a fighter gets a point deducted but goes on to clearly win a round.Quote:

I think it's something like even if a knockdown was scored by one guy (and a point deducted from the other), it world have still be a 10 point round to the guy who boxed more effectively, regardless of any statutory point deductions in any case that makes the scope even and less than 10-10.... Which is the only even round that makes sense in regards to 10-point-must scoring.Quote:

Where I think it gets a bit murky is where point deductions are considered. For example a ref deducting a point has to be registered by the judges however a flash knockdown might get overlooked by the judges.
But still, the 10 point must system is enforced.
