Score a fight the way the judges do

Ten-point must, scored round by round: the fighter who did more damage takes 10, the other takes 9, and a knockdown drops the other fighter to 8. Most explanations stop there and never mention the part that decides close fights — under K-1 and GLORY rules a draw is not declared. An extension round is fought and scored the same way.

Result: Draw — under K-1 and GLORY rules an extension round is fought

A round is 10–9 to the fighter who did more damage, 10–10 if level, and 10–8 for a knockdown (10–7 for two). Deductions come off after that. Under K-1 and GLORY a draw is not declared — an extension round is fought, and it is scored the same way.
