ABC passes rule clarifying the scoring of knockdowns

At the Association of Boxing Commisioners' annual conference in Las Vegas at the beginning of August, the scoring criteria for knockdowns were clarified as follows: It is mandatory to score 10-8 on a round where a fighter is knocked down, unless there is an unquestionable outstanding domination from the boxer that was knocked down. Only then may the round be scored 10-9 for the fighter who knocked down his/her opponent.
