Scoring
The Board is known for its unique scoring system. Except for title fights (where the bout is scored by three judges, none of whom serve as fight referee), the referee is the sole scorer. After the bout, the referee will immediately go over to the winner and raise his arm or in the event of a draw both boxers arms.
