What if I told you the biggest fight in public safety boxing wasn’t inside the ring, it was on the scorecards?
For years, the 10 point must system was the standard. But as public safety boxing grew, it became clear that the system wasn’t built for 3 round amateur fights. It created mistakes, unfair outcomes, and situations where a fighter could lose the bout before the final bell even rang.
Under the 10 point must system, judges add scores in a hurry, opening the door for math errors and potential draws. With Gold and Silver medals, Gladiator, Golden Fists, and Aztec Warrior awards being presented, and championship belts on the line, a draw simply can’t happen. And if a boxer had one point taken away, the best they could hope for was a draw. If they lost two points, they would need a knockout to win.
When boxers realize they must score a KO to win, fights become reckless, frustrated, and dangerous. That’s not public safety boxing.
The UCA Unified Scoring System removes point deductions entirely. If there’s a knockdown or a foul, the referee signals it, and judges make a mental note. No points are added. No points are subtracted. Judges simply choose RED or BLUE corner winner each round. Three judges, three rounds, no math, no draws, no confusion.
A fighter who gets knocked down twice in a round still only loses that round, not the fight. Every boxer walks back to their corner knowing they still have a chance to win, which keeps bouts competitive, controlled, and exciting. Safety remains the number one priority, so the three knockdown rule in one round will always be in effect, and if a boxer is knocked down four times in a bout, the fight will be stopped. A standing 10 count will also be administered when a boxer receives a hard blow, and a standing 10 count will be considered a knockdown.
At the end of the bout, the referee collects the cards, checks the round winners, and declares a clear, clean decision.
No adding. No deducting. No ties. No controversy.
This is the UCA Unified Scoring System built to protect fighters, eliminate errors, prevent draws, and guarantee that every bout ends with a true winner.
