The winner in a typical boxing match is determined through several factors, primarily by knockout, technical knockout, or by the judges' decision at the end of the fight. A knockout occurs when a fighter is knocked down and cannot rise by the count of ten. A technical knockout may happen when the referee stops the fight due to one fighter being unable to continue for safety reasons. If the fight goes the distance, judges score each round, and the boxer with the most points or favorable scorecards is declared the winner.
