Should a knockdown automatically be 10-8?

Some fighters can disguise a hurtful KD very well.

Well, that's true.

I also started to wonder, are the alphabet organizations following the exactly same general outlines for scoring a round. We are aware of WBC:s nutty head collision point deductions. Are there more differences between them?

Just about to say that...

very close rounds should just be scored 10-10 instead of guessing or showing favorites.

If you don't know or really have to think about it; it's a draw.

yep!

fights like manny pacquiao - juan manuel marquez, or joe calzaghe - bernard hopkins would have been wider decisions had judges scored draw rounds for what they were. DRAW ROUNDS.

There should never be an arbitrary way to score knockdowns, despite what hard headed Lederman always says. The judges are able to use their discretion to score them.

Also, the only way a round can ever be scored 9-9 is if the referee orders a point deduction. That is why it is called the "10 point must system".

Totally agree with that. Otherwise you're likely to invoke a bias to pick the winner of the round.
