What does "KO" mean in boxing?

This is a boxing term, which is short for knockout. I believe we all know that in boxing, if a boxer knocks down another boxer, and the latter falls down on the ring and cannot get up to continue the fight within the specified time, the boxing certificate will judge that the latter is "knocked down", that is, knocked down or KO.

Scoring method of professional boxing competition

At present, the world's four major professional boxing organizations have unified, effective and coordinated management and supervision of world professional boxing, and each has strict rules and regulations. The four boxing organizations are International Boxing Federation (IBF), World Boxing Council (WBC), World Boxing Association (WBA) and World Boxing Organization (WB0). These four organizations are world competitions named after themselves, level 17.

Professional boxers can participate in the competitions of the four major boxing organizations at the same time. A boxer who wins a heavyweight world championship is called a champion. If he challenges the current champion, the winner will be a new champion.

The number of rounds in a professional boxing match shall be decided by both parties through consultation before the match, but it shall not exceed 12 rounds at most. The competition contract of each professional boxing match must be agreed and approved by the chairman or secretary general of the professional boxing organization, and each boxer must submit a complete physical condition report or proof material to the state boxing Committee before the competition.

In professional boxing championships, world champions should wear belts when they enter the arena. Before the game starts, they have to take off their belts and give them to the referee, who will then give them to the representatives of the world professional boxing organization. Any world champion who defends for four consecutive years will be awarded a beautiful and expensive official belt at a special ceremony, while the world champion who defends for three consecutive years will not be awarded the special World Boxing Federation Medal of Honor.

There is one referee on the stage and three referees under the stage in each professional boxing match (the judges on the stage do not participate in the grading work). The three judges in the audience sat in three different directions and scored by hand. After each round, the three judges under the stage must record the scores they gave to the boxers of both sides and collect them from the representatives of the Boxing Association, who will summarize the scores on the total score table. In other words, once three referees give a boxer a verdict, he has no chance to change it, so as to keep the score fair.

The scoring method of professional boxing is 10, which means that the winner of a round will always get 10, and the loser cannot be less than 6.

First, the difference between the quality of hitting boxing.

According to the quality of the punches and whether the punches are perfect, powerful, accurate and impactful, the three judges in the professional boxing match are divided into the main punch and the secondary punch.

(1) a major and powerful blow.

1, the fist finger of any hand hits the front (fist peak) forcefully and correctly.

2. Typical heavy punches, such as cross boxing, uppercut boxing and violent throwing boxing.

3. A powerful blow.

4, obviously hit the head, neck, liver, stomach, temples and heart, these parts are the main blow and target of the boxer.

(2) secondary strike and light strike.

1, hit the effective part according to the above scoring method, but the power of the fist is light.

2, hit other parts of the body, and it is legal but not the main part.

Second, the scores of hit times and hit rate.

This is the most important factor in a fair scoring system. All kinds of hitting punches should keep a reasonable balance and can cancel each other out. Therefore, the change of the number of punches depends on the determined proportion. If the score is controlled by powerful blows, the actual proportion must be based on the number of blows in a three-minute round and can cancel each other out.

The International Boxing Council believes that the skill, tactics, score or effective aggression of athletes are the main factors to judge the outcome of each round. Our goal is to achieve objectivity and consistency in scoring, so the fair scoring is 2 times, and 3 to 5 minor hits are equal to 1 major powerful hits. The evaluation under the stage should be based on whether the boxing is perfect, powerful, accurate and impactful. For example, two light jabs are for powerful jabs, three light jabs or three light other punches are for powerful punches that hit the liver, and five light jabs or five other punches are for excellent and beautiful punches.

Third, about the score of the knockout round.

A clean blow to the opponent can be said to be a perfect blow. All boxers want to punch like this in the game, but it can't happen often, just like a home run in a baseball game.

A boxer who is knocked down can get at most one point before counting to three seconds, and at most two points after three seconds. If the same fighter is knocked down for the second or third time in the same round, it can never be lower than 10: 7. In other words, a clean knockout can deduct points or add one or two points to the opponent according to the number of seconds that the knocked-down player stands up from the ring, which does not include the points played before the end of the round. According to the above requirements, the score of each boxer who is knocked down is deducted from the total score of each round or added to the opponent.

Professional boxing has strict rules about knockouts.

1. If a boxer is legally knocked down several times in the same round, if the referee on the stage thinks that his injury is not serious, the boxer can still continue to fight. If the referee on the stage thinks that the boxer is injured and his health is in danger, he should stop fighting.

If the boxer is legally knocked off the stage, he will have 20 seconds to return to the ring by himself. If he doesn't come back within the time limit, the game will stop and the boxer will be awarded the loser.

If one side is legally knocked down, the referee must order the other side to stand in the neutral corner, and shall not leave the neutral corner without authorization before the referee orders the game to start. If the boxer leaves the neutral corner without announcing the restart of the game, the referee on the stage will stop for a few seconds until the boxer returns to the neutral corner, and then continue counting.

If one side is knocked down while the bell rings, the blow is still valid (except for the last round). If a boxer is knocked down at the end of a round, the referee will continue for a few seconds. If the boxer fails to stand up within 10 seconds, the referee on the stage will rule that he is knocked down and loses the game. As soon as the boxer stands up, the timer will ring immediately, indicating that the round is over.

Fourth, a round of scoring methods

Every referee in the audience should take the perfection, strength, accuracy and impact of boxing as the standard, as well as the control ability of boxing potential and defense. The ability to control boxing here means that the boxer can grasp the rhythm of boxing from beginning to end, mobilize his opponent at will, and put his opponent in a position conducive to his attack with flexible and fast moving steps. If both sides score equally, it depends on whose defense is good. In a word, the scoring standard of professional boxing competition is beneficial to the strong.

Score according to the following scale (for example)

10: 10 is divided equally between the two sides, or one point will be deducted if the winner fouls in a round.

10: 9 The technique or the number of hits or the same technique is slightly different, but one side will be penalized for foul.

10: 8 the same score plus the knockout score after 3 seconds.

10: 8 is very clear or completely in control of the situation according to the boundaries.

10: 8 has obvious technical difference, plus the knockout score that got up 3 seconds ago.

10: 7 according to the obvious difference or completely control the boundary of the situation, add a knockout.

10: 7 technical difference plus two knockout rounds.

Let's give an example to illustrate how the score of 10 was obtained. If A beat B by a narrow margin in the first round, the score ratio in the first round should be 10: 9. In the second round, A still won and knocked down his opponent once (got up 3 seconds ago), so the second round was 10, and B was 8. In the third round, A knocks down B twice to win, so A is 10, B is 7, and so on.

Of course, the total score of the last three referees may be a draw, so the evaluation of most referees will prevail. There will be the following situations: 1 All three judges will decide a victory. Two judges A won, one judge B won, and finally judge A won. If two referees judge that the total scores of Party A and Party B are equal, and one referee judges that Party A wins or Party B wins, it will be finally judged as a draw, and the time, place and round of the next match will be decided by both parties.
