Explained in plain English

How do boxing matches work?

Boxing matches involve rounds where two fighters try to score points or knock out their opponent. A 'unanimous decision' like Dubois's win means all three judges agreed she was the victor based on points. Felling an opponent, as Dubois did, scores points but doesn't guarantee a knockout.
