First Rounds and Close Rounds should be scored 10-10 by default.

If you ever think yo yourself, "who should i give that round to", it should be an automatic 10-10 round. You should never "look" for a winner of a round

The first round is almost always a feeling out process with both fighters measuring and observing. Unless something explosive happens like round 1 of Vitali/Sanders,these rounds should be scored even as much as possible. Close rounds where there is no clear dominant fighter should be declared even as well. The last few rounds of Bradley/Pacquiao were very Evenish to me and shouldnt have been placed on the same level as Pacquiao's forceful early rounds. This is the only way to stop the robberies. Make the fighters earn that 10-9 instead of judges gifting hair-split decisions to their favorite. As much as I dislike 99% of your opinions, I have to agree with this one. I've been preaching this for years. The idea that 99% of the rounds are NOT even is ridiculous. If the round is really close, then score that ***** even. The idea of "swing rounds" should be banished. What a joke, right? Off the top of my head, you are probably the poster I disagree with the most on this forum, but you know what? I'm gonna green rep you, we all have to get behind things like this.

even rounds are rare but they do come around, i dont remember last time i scored 1

don't really like even rds better than giving it to the champ/hometown guy though fuck it, call a very close rd even then but don't do all close/1st rds even just because there's gotta be something to give a fighter the nod for

Not many rounds are even, 1 fighter almost always does at least little more than their opponent it doesn't even have to be landing punches just being the aggressor can win the fighter the round. The problem is that "A little more" is worth the same as "a lot more"

You can still rob a fighter if you score a lot of even rounds.

There is no such thing as an even round. You have to score rounds 10-9. If rounds are scored 10-10 those rounds should be watched again during the fight by a second set of judges or a 4th judge before the decision is announced. Just my opinion.

Judges used to score rounds even all the time. In an average 10 round fight 1 or 2 rounds would be scored even. It is only in the last 10 years or so that judges almost completely stopped scoring any rounds even and I don't know why. If a judge is not sure who won a round they should call it even, not guess at the winner or flip a coin.

We saw another example of this today in Wladimir vs Thompson: many gave it to Thompson when it was really just a feeling out round.

In fact if someone has to win a round why not score a close round 10-9 but one that is not close 10-8. 1 knockdown 10-7, 2 knockdowns 10-6 etc.

I second this. A round in which a fighter clearly dominates shouldnt be scored the same way as one in which it is very hard to pick a winner.

This is the only way to stop the robberies. Make the fighters earn that 10-9 instead of judges gifting hair-split decisions to their favorite. I like scoring even rounds too, but I don't honestly believe that's why the robberies happen.
