"The distance (boxing) The distance, in boxing, refers to the full number of rounds in a match. It is frequently used in the expression ""going the distance,"" which means fighting a full bout without being knocked out. In title fights, this is called ""the championship distance,"" which once was 15 rounds but today usually means 12 rounds (See history section), though there were some ten-round championship matches.

Controversy surrounded the new judging system in boxing; the new system counts has five judges who judge each bout, and a computer randomly selects three whose scores are counted. Traditionally, judges would use a computer scoring system to count each punch landed, but in 2016 the winner of each round was awarded 10 points and the loser a lower number, based on criteria which includes the quality of punches landed, effective aggression and tactical superiority. Two results in particular attracted controversy: the defeat of Vasily"
