Boxing at the 1908 Summer Olympics
From Free net encyclopedia
At the 1908 Summer Olympics, five boxing events were contested. All of the boxing was conducted on 27 October.
There were three rounds in each bout, with the first two rounds being three minutes long and the last one going four minutes. Two judges scored the match, giving 5 points to the better boxer in each of the first two rounds and 7 to the better boxer in the third round. Marks were given to the other boxer in proportion to how well he did compared to the better. If the judges were not agreed on a winner at the end of the bout, the referee could either choose the winner or order a fourth round.
