Boxing Score Counter
A boxing score counter keeps each judge’s card under the 10-point must system: 10 to the winner of a round, 9 or fewer to the loser, 10-10 if even. This one keeps three cards at once and reads the verdict from cards won, not total points: a unanimous, split or majority decision, or one of three kinds of draw.

Round 1: pick each judge’s score
10 to the winner of each round, 9 or fewer to the loser, 10-10 if even. The verdict counts judges’ cards, not points.

Pick each judge’s score for the round, then Score round. Red down records a knockdown of Red; the judges still decide what the round is worth. −1 is a point taken away by the referee, and it comes off every card. Ctrl+Z undoes.
This adds up judges’ cards and reads the verdict; it does not judge the fight. It does not decide who won a round, has no round clock or count, and does not apply the rules of any one commission beyond those named on this page: the four-round line for accidental fouls is the ABC Unified Rules’, and a commission’s own rule wins where they differ. It is not an official scorecard, and it is not for amateur bouts with five judges or for MMA.
Adding up one card is easy. A real verdict is read from three, and it is read in cards, not points, which is how a boxer can win a split decision with fewer points in total. This counter keeps all three cards and names the verdict as the judges’ scorecards would produce it.
In professional boxing, a fight that goes the distance is scored by three judges under the 10-point must system. Each totals a separate card, and the verdict depends on how many cards each boxer wins: a unanimous, split or majority decision, or a draw.

How to score a boxing match with three judges
Set the fight up once, then score it round by round.
Set the fight
Choose the scheduled rounds and who scores it: three judges, or the referee alone for a British non-title fight. Name the corners.
Score each judge’s round
Pick 10-9, 10-8, 10-7 or 10-10 for each judge. If they all agree, pick judge 1 and tap Same as judge 1.
Record knockdowns and deductions
Tap Red down or Blue down for a knockdown, and −1 when the referee takes a point. The deduction comes off every card.
Score the round
Tap Score round. The running cards and the verdict as it would stand appear under the board.
End the fight
After the last round the verdict appears. For a stoppage tap KO/TKO; for an accidental foul tap Accidental foul.
Read the cards
The table shows every round on every card, net of deductions, with the totals the verdict was read from.

How three judges’ cards become a verdict
A professional fight that goes the distance is decided by three judges, each keeping a separate card. The result is read from how many cards each boxer wins, not from the points. The free boxing scorecards at the top of a search, checked on 2026-10-01, are built for one card, your own. Pro Calculator’s and Split Decision’s explain unanimous, split and majority decisions in prose; ScoreCounter’s boxing board records the decision you type in; ScoreCount’s keeps the rounds and the clock. None works the verdict out from three cards, and none shows that the boxer with more points in total can lose.
| The three cards | Verdict | Example cards |
|---|---|---|
| All three for the same boxer | Unanimous decision (UD) | 116–112, 115–113, 117–111, all Red |
| Two for one boxer, one for the other | Split decision (SD) | 115–113 Red, 115–113 Red, 115–113 Blue |
| Two for one boxer, one even | Majority decision (MD) | 115–113 Red, 115–113 Red, 114–114 |
| One for one boxer, two even | Majority draw | 115–113 Red, 114–114, 114–114 |
| One each way, one even | Split draw | 115–113 Red, 115–113 Blue, 114–114 |
| All three even | Unanimous draw | 114–114, 114–114, 114–114 |
Those six are every combination three cards can make, which is why the counter can always name one. A boxer needs to win at least two of the three cards to win the fight. A single even card can turn what would have been a split decision into a majority decision, or a split decision the other way into a split draw.
Winning a split decision with fewer points
Because cards are counted and points are not, the margins on the cards a boxer wins do not matter. Take a 12-round fight where judges 1 and 2 give Red seven rounds and Blue five, all 10-9, and judge 3 gives Blue every round:
| Card | Rounds won | Red | Blue | Card goes to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Judge 1 | Red 7, Blue 5 | 115 | 113 | Red |
| Judge 2 | Red 7, Blue 5 | 115 | 113 | Red |
| Judge 3 | Blue 12 | 108 | 120 | Blue |
| All three added | — | 338 | 346 | Not used |
Red wins by split decision, two cards to one, while 8 points behind on the three cards together. Enter those rounds in the counter and it says so. The sum is shown only to make the point that it decides nothing.
What changes a card
- A 10-8 round. One knockdown usually makes the round 10-8 to the other boxer, but each judge scores the whole round. The British Boxing Board of Control counts a knockdown as a one-point advantage, not an automatic 10-8. A round can also be 10-8 with no knockdown, if one boxer dominates it.
- A 10-10 round. Allowed in professional boxing when a judge cannot separate the boxers, and rare. Olympic judges must pick a winner of every round.
- A point deduction. The referee takes the point and every judge subtracts it, so a 10-9 round with a deduction from its winner is scored 9-9. Under the ABC Unified Rules an intentional foul that causes an injury costs a mandatory two points.
- Whole points only. No half points: the British Board’s rules say so in as many words.
Who scores, and when the cards are not read: stoppages and fouls
Not every fight reaches the cards, and not every card is a judge’s. Who scores depends on where the fight is and what is at stake.
| Setting | Who scores | How the winner is found |
|---|---|---|
| Professional, ABC Unified Rules (US) | Three judges | Cards won: 2 of 3 |
| British fights below championship level (BBBofC) | The referee, alone | The referee’s total; equal totals are a draw |
| British and Commonwealth title fights | Three judges | Cards won: 2 of 3 |
| Olympic and amateur | Five judges, three rounds | Cards won: at least 3 of 5 |
Sources: the ABC Unified Rules of Boxing; the British Boxing Board of Control’s How to Score a Contest, which makes the referee the scorer except in British and Commonwealth championship contests; Olympic boxing rules for the five judges. Set Scored by to Referee alone (UK) for a British undercard fight.
When the cards are not read, or are read early
| How it ends | Result | Cards used? |
|---|---|---|
| All scheduled rounds completed | Decision or draw | Yes, all of them |
| Knockout, referee stoppage or corner retirement | KO or TKO win | No |
| Accidental foul stops it before 4 completed rounds | No decision | No |
| Accidental foul stops it after 4 completed rounds | Technical decision, or technical draw | Yes, the partial round scored |
The accidental-foul rows are the ABC Unified Rules: “partial or incomplete rounds will be scored. If no action has occurred, the round should be scored as an even round.” A technical decision is read from the cards exactly like a full one, so it can be unanimous, split or majority, and a level result is a technical draw.
Recording a stopped fight in the counter
- Knockout or stoppage: tap KO/TKO for the winner. The fight ends and the cards so far stay visible but decide nothing.
- Accidental foul, early: tap Accidental foul before four rounds are complete and it records a no decision.
- Accidental foul, later: pick each judge’s score for the part of the round that was boxed, 10-10 if nothing happened, then tap Accidental foul. With nothing picked, the stop is taken to have come between rounds. The counter reads the cards and gives the technical decision or technical draw.

Frequently asked questions
How do you score a boxing fight?
Each judge scores every round on the 10-point must system: 10 points to the boxer who won the round and 9 or fewer to the other. A clear round is 10-9, a round with a knockdown is usually 10-8, and a round a judge cannot separate is 10-10. The judge adds the rounds up, takes off any points the referee deducted, and the higher total wins that judge’s card.
What is a 10-8 round in boxing?
A 10-8 round is one a boxer wins by a wide margin, usually because the opponent was knocked down. Two knockdowns usually make it 10-7. A judge can also score 10-8 without a knockdown when one boxer dominates the whole round. A knockdown does not fix the score on its own; the judge still scores everything that happened in the round.
What is the difference between a unanimous, majority and split decision?
In a unanimous decision all three judges score the fight for the same boxer. In a split decision two judges score it for one boxer and the third for the other. In a majority decision two judges score it for one boxer and the third scores it even. Each is a full win; they differ only in how far the judges agreed.
What is the difference between a split draw and a majority draw?
A majority draw is when two judges score the fight even and the third has a winner. A split draw is when one judge scores it for each boxer and the third scores it even. A unanimous draw is all three cards even. In every case no boxer won two cards, so nobody wins the fight.
Can a judge score a round 10-10?
Yes, in professional boxing a judge can score a round 10-10 when neither boxer did enough to win it, and the British Boxing Board of Control’s rules say so directly. It is uncommon, because judges are expected to separate the boxers. Under the ABC Unified Rules a partial round with no action is also scored 10-10. Olympic judges must pick a winner of every round.
How many judges are in a boxing match?
Professional fights in the US and most title fights have three judges at ringside, none of them the referee. Most British fights below championship level are scored by the referee alone. Olympic and amateur bouts use five judges, and a boxer must win at least three of the five cards.
How are point deductions for fouls applied?
The referee stops the action, tells the judges and takes the point, and every judge subtracts it from that boxer’s score for the round. A round scored 10-9 to the boxer who fouled becomes 9-9. Under the ABC Unified Rules an intentional foul that causes an injury costs a mandatory two points. The counter takes the deduction off all three cards.
What happens if a fighter cannot continue due to an accidental foul?
Under the ABC Unified Rules, if an accidental foul such as a clash of heads stops the fight before four rounds are completed, it is a no decision. After four completed rounds it goes to the scorecards, with the partial round scored, and the boxer ahead wins a technical decision. If the cards are level it is a technical draw. Some commissions set a different line.
Do the judges’ scores get added together?
No. Each judge’s card is totalled on its own, and the verdict depends on how many cards each boxer wins. Adding the three cards together decides nothing, and a boxer can win a split decision while behind on that sum: winning two cards 115-113 and losing the third 108-120 is a win, 8 points down in total.
Is this an official boxing scorecard?
No. It adds up judges’ cards and reads the verdict, for watching fights, checking announced cards, club shows and training judges. It does not decide who won a round, has no round clock or count, and stores everything in this browser only. Official results are decided by the licensed judges and the commission running the fight.
