You would not be willing to score rounds against your own loved ones (the word you are looking for is biased) You are not sitting in a judge’s chair (yes, I’m saying it again) You have never thrown a punch, hit a mitt, or spent time in a ring You blinked – just kidding (but not really) You have consumed alcohol or drugs (which eliminates most of boxing Twitter).

You are moving around the room (screaming at the TV or shadowboxing). You are talking (shut up and watch the fight) You are writing during the rounds (write your notes between rounds) You are eating, drinking or sleeping at any point You are playing on your phone at all (most people sitting ringside) If anything, the other boxer is exhibiting good defence, which is part of a judge’s scoring criteria.įor those of you who like to play along at home, it is worth remembering that you cannot score a fight accurately if: In the pros, you will hear the crowd go wild when, in reality, the punch did not land in a scoring zone. Sometimes people think punches that land on the arms are scoring blows. This is definitely a pet peeve and it happens in both the pros and amateurs. Even the best camera operator may not capture what is truly happening. Again, this is why there are three (pro) to five (amateur) judges. When fighters are in close or locked up, no one can see what punches land and count better than the judges – even then, only some of the judges can see depending on where the action is in the ring. Sometimes it looks like a punch landed but in reality it came within inches or less. Sometimes the punch just rolls off the opponent’s arm or shoulder. Conversely, sometimes a punch doesn’t land with the intensity that is perceived by those not judging. Sometimes a punch lands much harder than what is seen by those sitting ringside or at home.
After sitting in a judge’s chair for nearly three years, I can confidently say there are a number of things judges can see that others cannot. Scoring a fight is said to be subjective, but the criteria does not leave much room for interpretation.

If it is their first or final professional fight If they have received a “gift” decision or been “robbed” in the past If they made weight or had a drastic weight change overnight Their behaviour out of the ring or police record This may be stating the obvious, but these factors should not to be used to score a fight:
