I saw it 11-1 for Sexi with the 10-8 for Jr at the end, this was for the most part a domination and pretty easy to score.

11-1 Martinez

Gave Chavez 10-8 round in 12th. I don't see how you could score 10-7 after the official knock down. Martinez fought back as the round was closing, he wasn't necessarily on a stretcher being taken out.

You're awarding those points based on how well the fighter performs, not only based on who wins and who loses the round. Why would a fighter who gets totally dominated in a round still deserve 9 points, when (in a different fight) a fighter who puts up a good fight but doesn't do quite enough to win the round also gets the same 9 points?

Check out the rules of the 10 point must system for a better understanding of how it works.

I agree with you. I give 10-8 rounds when I judge fights (sitting on my couch at home scoring) as well as 10-10 rounds if both guys do virtually nothing to stand out. I scored several rounds in the Calzaghe-Lacy fight as 10-8 rounds for Joe based on how he dominated Lacy.

For me it was pretty easy.

Martínez won 10-9 the first 11 rounds

Chavez won last round 10-8.

Martínez 118 - 109.
