Tips to win an Ametuer fight on points?

I have a tourney coming up, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips/thoughts/suggestions on how to rack up the points in an ametuer fight.

Are there small things that can influence the judges? I know they are human, and sometimes they might be on the fence when it come to hitting that button. And one point can make or break a 3 round fight. Example: Standing not sitting between rounds. Being the constant aggressor, throwing more punches (of course), don't clinch, stick to 2-3 punch combinations, focus on mostly straight punches etc etc etc.

P.S.- I tend to use a high guard a la Arthur Abraham style also.

Be the last one throwing in exchanges. Even if you got out-pointed in it, you'll likely still get awarded the points. Judges are trained to wait for the exchange to end before registering a click, or comp. hit...and tend to award it that way.

End every round strong - Don't be lazy that last 10-15 seconds no matter how tired you are...You will be tired!

Pay off the judges.

what about slick defense? or would they rather see just a nice counter?

If the judges are using the comuter system then the key is to land the cleaner shots.

I know it does not sound sporting but once you get your nose in front after the first round,if they tell you the score in between round then go on the backfoot and try not to make mistakes,hands up high and look to counter.

Good luck.
