The scoring system used in professional boxing is called the 10 point must system.
In amateur boxing the total for each round is 20 and for professional bouts the maximum is 10 points per round. If all judges rule for the same boxer the decision is referred to as a unanimous decision. Unlike normal decisions where there are three judges that agree on which fighter won the match the fight is scored by the referee who determines who wins the bout. In each round of a contest a boxer earns points according to the punches he lands on his opponent.
