Paul, > Round 11, for example, seemed like the most decisive round of the match, in Foreman's favor, but the score was the same 10-9 as all the other rounds. Scoring is on a 10 point must system. That is, the winner of every round has to be given 10 points. The loser of the round is usually given 9 points, except if he is knocked down, then he is given 8 points. If the round is a draw, then both fighters get 10 points. So, in practice, there are basically only 3 scores for a round. 10-10, if the round is a draw. 10-9, for the winner of a round, when the opponent isn't knocked down. 10-8, for the winner of a round, when the opponent is knocked down, or else beaten senseless and has to take a standing 8 count. I don't think I ever saw a 10-7 score. Dom Fontana –> Sent from NY via AP <–
