This article was to disclose an objective boxing scoring system by capturing punching force and landing location wirelessly to augment subjective judgment official AlBA scoring system for scoring blow decision. A FlexiForce sensor was embedded at the scoring knuckle part in each closed boxing glove with a battery-powered microcontroller with wireless communication. Head guard and body guard padding were embedded with tactile switches located at legitimated landing locations with microcontrollers. A ringside computer was used to capture signals from gloves, head guards and body guards of both boxers in competition for real-time punching force and landing location information processing for scoring judgment. The system was demonstrated as proposal towards AlBA President and executive committees during 2008 Olympic Qualifying Round in Bangkok.
