In Olympic boxing, the winner in a tie is determined by the judges based on their scoring criteria. Each judge assesses the performance of boxers throughout the match, awarding points for effective punches, defensive skills, and overall control. In the event of a score tie, the judges will score specific rounds more critically to evaluate each boxer's performance. If still tied, further criteria established by the governing body, such as the number of punches landed, may come into play to identify a clear winner.
