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

[Trainer Monkey]

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

[Larryboy]

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

[Taeth]

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...

That's based on my understanding I may very well be wrong. There was a fight on ESPN2 recently where one guy dominated the whole fight complete shutout, but at the final bell he got knocked down, he was definately winning the round by a mile until that happened, but I gave his opponent the round 10-8 as did the judges.

Well...the 10 point must system doesn't work if both boxer get a point deducted in the same rnd...
