• unexpectedly during the fight, the side judge felt unwell.

• the rope broke and the boxer, having fallen to the floor from the platform, received damage, the nature of which does not allow the fight to continue;

Section 22 Scoring

The referee must first of all be guided by the criteria and priorities set out in the sections below.

22.3. According to the result of the impact, punches are classified as light, hard and heavy, bringing the opponent to a knockdown state. Provided that hard hits are taken as the unit of measurement, scoring should be based on how many light hits can equate to one hard hit.

22.4. For example: one sudden hard blow is equal to three light blows; etc. Thus, a boxer who relies on the purity of the blow, its strength, accuracy and effectiveness can achieve the same result or advantage over the opponent, inflicting two to three times fewer blows.

22.5. A clean knockdown is the result of the most perfect and accurate blow, above which only a knockout can be a priority in boxing.

22.6. A knockdown is scored by the judges as one point.

22.7. The winner of a round is always awarded 10 points If the winner of a round is penalized by one penalty point, the score in the round should be 10:10, not 9:9.

• a) 10:10 - an even round, or when the boxer who won the round is penalized with one penalty point for breaking the Rules;
• b) 10:9 - the boxer from the red corner has an advantage;
• c) 10:9 - equal round, at the end of the round the boxer from the blue corner was knocked down;
• d) 10:8 - advantage of the boxer from the red corner and knockdown of the boxer from the blue corner;
• e) 10:7 - big advantage of the boxer from the red corner and knockdown of the boxer from the blue corner;
• f) 10:6 - advantage of the boxer from the red corner and three knockdowns for the boxer from the blue corner (the score cannot be more than 10:6)
• g) 9:10 - a slight advantage of the boxer from the red corner, at the end of the round he was knocked down;
• h) 10:10 - a slight advantage of the boxer from the red corner, at the end of the round he was knocked down;
• f) 9:10 - equal round, but the boxer from the blue corner is punished by the referee with one penalty point for violating the "Rules";
• j) 8:10 - equal round, but the boxer from the red corner is punished by the referee with two penalty points for violating the "Rules";

22.9. When holding championship fights, the possibility of a draw must be excluded. Therefore, if the side judges determined the result of the fight as a draw by the number of points, the boxer who won the most rounds is recognized as the winner.

§ 23. Priorities in boxing (No. 1.2.3.4)

PRIORITY #1. Technical and tactical superiority

23.1. Excellence in the ring lies in the ability, using offensive or defensive tactics, to force an opponent to act in an unusual manner. The choice of spectacular tactical moves allows you to impose on the opponent the style of boxing that is least convenient for him. Having imposed his style on the opponent, in which the boxer feels more confident, he forces the opponent to miss and make mistakes, go into a dead defense, enter the clinch, etc.

The key to winning the round is the ability to get the opponent to follow his plan, while demonstrating technical and tactical superiority in all episodes of the battle.

Thus, the key to determining the winner in a round is the answer to the question: "Whose style dominated during the round?"

PRIORITY #2. Effective offensive actions

23.2. Active offensive actions in combat are not always identical to effective actions. Only such activity in a fight is evaluated when, as a result of a prepared attack, the boxer, moving forward, delivers a series of effective “clean” punches, simultaneously blocking the opponent’s counterattacking actions and avoiding counter punches. Superiority in activity and advantage in the number of accurate and strong blows inflicted on the opponent are key factors in determining the winner of the round.

PRIORITY #3. "Purity" of boxing

23.3. If the boxers are approximately equal in technical and tactical skills, as well as in the number and effectiveness of punches, the side judge must very carefully evaluate the "purity" of boxing and give preference to the one of the boxers who committed fewer violations of the "Rules".

PRIORITY #4. Effective defensive actions

23.4. The nature of the boxer's defensive actions is prioritized after his ability to surpass his opponent in technical and tactical skills, the manifestation of effective attacking actions and the ability to "purely" box.

At the same time, the art of self-defense is also extremely important and should be properly assessed by the side judge. The boxer's successful escape or protection from blows is evaluated, as a result of which the opponent's attack is disrupted and conditions are created for inflicting counter blows. This is achieved by certain defensive maneuvers such as blocking, dodging, evading, effective work legs, etc. Effective defensive actions can become a decisive factor in determining the winner in the event that the boxers, in the opinion of the judge, do not have superiority over each other in the quality and quantity of punches.

Thus, by priority, the main factors in determining the winner of the round are:

• a) technical and tactical skill of a boxer;
• b) the number and quality of correctly applied and hitting the target;

In case of doubt of the side referee under paragraphs. a) and b) the “cleanliness” of the box and the effective defensive actions of the boxer become decisive factors. Under the condition of full concentration of the touch judge, using the above criteria and priorities. is able to correctly determine the winner in the round.

Despite the fact that it is considered undesirable to have draw rounds, the touch judge should not, without sufficient reason, give the victory in the round to one or another athlete.

• be in close proximity to the ring in the referee's field of vision.
• by striking the gong to announce the beginning and end of each round.
• 10 seconds before the start of each round, except for the first, give a whistle command to clear the ring from the seconds.
• the signal for the start of the first round shall be given by striking the gong only on the command of the referee.
• at the referee's command "Time", stop the countdown. After the referee's command "Boxing", turn on the stopwatch again and continue counting the time.
• when the referee gives the boxer rest, after inflicting an illegal low blow on him, count the time up to five minutes, after the expiration of which inform the referee about this and, at his command, continue counting the main time of the round.
• do not signal the end of the round if one or both boxers are at that moment in a state of knockdown and the referee is keeping the score. The blow of the gong is given at the moment when the boxer rises from the mat and is ready to continue the fight. The next round starts after minute break, minus the seconds for which the previous round will last.

24.3. When the Referee opens the score for the Boxer and starts counting out loud from “one” to “ten” once per second, the score is kept by the timekeeper so that the Referee can see and hear him.

One second must elapse between the "Stop" command and the start of the "one" count.
