1. Boxing is in fact scored throughout the bout and both the contestants and the spectators know the score. Only if there is a knockout does the score become a moot point.

Dpends on what boxing commission is enforcing the rules. In Nevada, most boxing matches are scored under rules that require the scores to be kept secret even from oher judges until the figh is over.

It is quite common for broadcasters to announce an unofficial score between rounds, but the official scores are kept secret by tradition (and by law in most jurisdictions).
