boxing judge

Scores the fight

A boxing judge is an official who scores a boxing match, sitting ringside to evaluate each round based on effective punching, defense, and ring generalship.

Three judges typically score independently, and if a fight goes the distance without a knockout, their combined scorecards determine the winner: The boxing judges scored it 115-113 for the challenger.
