Boxing (and other sports like MMA) use a 10-point-must system. There are 3 judges that judge each round individually and give 10 points to the fighter that they think won that round and 9 or less to the other (it’s normally 9 unless the round was really one sided). If there is no ko the fight goes to a decision and the fighter with the most points wins (points are deducted for fouls like biting ears)

The ko immediately finishes the fight because a ko’d fighter can no longer intelligently defend himself and would just become a punching bag otherwise. The other fighter wins. Yes.
