Boxing is scored by the 10 must system. In a typical round, a judge gives whoever they think won the round 10 points and the loser gets nine. If somebody gets knocked down, then it is generally 10-8 against them. Every once in a while you will have 10-7 rounds, but you have to be truly awful to get that score.

IIRC everyone you get knocked down, you subtract 1

Pretty much. But judges generally will stop at 10-7 because otherwise the fight becomes absolutely unwinnable for the other side.
