How do fans score fights compared to judges?

Official boxing results are decided by a small number of judges. Fightnight Scores adds another layer by showing how fans scored the same rounds and whether the wider fan consensus matched the official cards.

Judge agreement and disagreement

When official scores are available, Fightnight Scores can compare judges against fan scoring data. This helps identify rounds where judges and fans agreed, as well as rounds where the official scoring was more disputed.

Fan consensus scorecards

Fightnight Scores uses submitted fan cards to show the percentage of users who scored the fight to each boxer or as a draw. It can also show common scorecards, median scorecards and round-by-round scoring trends.

Identify controversial boxing decisions

Controversial decisions often come down to a small number of close rounds. Fightnight Scores helps highlight those rounds by combining round winners, scoring margins and fan reasoning.

What Fightnight Scores can analyse

• Fan scorecards compared with official judges.

• Rounds where judges and fans disagreed.

• The percentage of fans scoring the fight to each boxer.

• Average winning margins by round.

• Reasons fans gave for scoring each round.

A more transparent way to discuss boxing scoring

Fightnight Scores does not replace official judges. It gives fans a structured way to record, compare and analyse their own view of a fight. This creates a clearer discussion around close decisions, disputed rounds and judging controversies.
