Boxing scoring guide
Scoring blows must land on the head or on the body, above the belt

Each ringside judge has a computer scoring button to press for each boxer, and three of the five must hit their button within one second of each other for the point to register.

When boxers are fighting up close, called infighting, a point is awarded to the boxer with the best of the exchanges.

Non-scoring blows include punches that infringe the rules, punches that use any part of the glove except the knuckles, and those which do not have the weight of the body or shoulder behind them.
