Boxing is here: a round-by-round scoreboard overlay for fight night
ScoreLayer now supports boxing with red and blue corners, an automatic round clock, and one-tap tracking for knockdowns, warnings, and point deductions.
That means you can add a proper round clock, red and blue corners, fight status, knockdowns, warnings, and point deductions to a live stream without building the graphics yourself.
For smaller boxing shows in particular, that can make a big difference. The stream itself might already look perfectly good, but if someone joins halfway through a round, they still need to know what they're watching: which round it is, who's in each corner, and how long is left before the bell.
The new boxing scorebug is built around exactly that.
A round clock that takes care of the basics
Set the round duration before the fight — three minutes by default — and ScoreLayer handles the rest.
When the clock reaches zero, it resets automatically and advances to the next round. Start the next round and the fight status switches back to Active.
Between rounds, the overlay can show an automatic Interval message so viewers can immediately see that the fight is between rounds rather than wondering what's happened to the stream.
Round length is configurable, so the same setup works for amateur boxing and other round-based formats such as kickboxing and Muay Thai.
Enter the duration you want under Round Duration and tap Set. The clock updates straight away.
You can also adjust the round number manually at any time. Increasing the round resets the clock to the configured round duration. Decreasing it leaves the current clock untouched, which makes it easy to correct the round number without affecting the time.
Knockdowns, warnings, and point deductions
During a fight, the controls need to be quick.
Each corner has separate counters for:
- Knockdowns
- Warnings
- Point deductions
Each counter also has a correction button, so an accidental tap is easy to undo.
The Fight Status control lets you switch between Active, Between Rounds, and Finished.
ScoreLayer updates the status automatically as you use the round clock, but you can override it whenever you need to. That's useful for situations such as a doctor's inspection, a standing count, or any other pause that doesn't line up neatly with the clock.
Once the bout is over, tap End Fight. The clock is then locked so it can't accidentally be started again later in the broadcast.
Red corner, blue corner
The scorebug keeps the fighters' names prominent and uses a smaller red or blue marker to show each corner, rather than filling half the overlay with color.
There's also room above the fighters for a bout title. You can use that for a championship name, event name, sponsor, or whatever makes sense for the card.
If the fighters have been assigned to the wrong sides, you don't need to set them up again. Use the same side-swap control available in the other ScoreLayer sports and the corners switch instantly.
The setup screen also lets you store additional details for each fighter, including full name, ranking, record, and country, as well as the weight class for the bout.
Most of that stays out of the compact on-air scorebug for now, but the information is there and gives us room to add more detailed boxing overlay styles later.
See the overlay before you go live
The control panel includes a live preview of the actual boxing overlay.
Change a fighter's name, update the round, start the clock, or change the fight status and you'll see the result immediately.
That makes it easy to set everything up before the first bout and run through the controls without touching your streaming software.
The preview uses the same overlay that goes out on your live stream, so what you see in the control panel is what your viewers will see.
Built for small fight-night streams
You don't need a full broadcast crew to make a boxing stream easier to follow.
ScoreLayer works well for club shows, amateur cards, youth tournaments, gym events, and smaller promotions where one or two people may be handling most of the production.
It can also be used for kickboxing, Muay Thai, or even sparring sessions where a round number and running clock make the recording more useful.
If you've used ScoreLayer for another sport, the setup is the same: create the scoreboard, open the control panel, and add the overlay URL to OBS or your streaming setup.
If you're new to ScoreLayer, the boxing sport page shows what the overlay looks like and how the controls work.
What's next
Boxing is the first ScoreLayer setup built specifically around combat sports.
The same basic model also fits kickboxing, Muay Thai, and other sports built around rounds and corners, so we'll be able to build on it from here.
For now, you can select Boxing for those formats as well. The round clock, corner controls, knockdown tracking, warnings, and point deductions all work the same way.
If your gym or promotion wants to try future combat-sport layouts as we add them, get in touch through the support page.
Boxing is free to try on every ScoreLayer plan.
