Why arent they any 9-9 rounds? I just finished watching Barrera vs Marquez and even though i still had Marquez winning by a point I scored 3 even rounds! 11,12,4...Sometimes rounds are too damn close to give it to one guy, For example Marquez vs Pacquiao II round 1?...

I couldn't agree more. But even rounds are actually discouraged by the judging guidelines. This is kind of unbelievable... it's like asking for controversy.

I agree about even rounds sometimes being accurate. However, if a round were scored even it would be 10-10 and not 9-9.

otherwise more bouts would end up in a draw. That's why it 9/10 round so that 1 point can determine the winner or the loser. Think about it, if two boxers scored 9/9 in 12 rounds what is that? 108/108 draw.

that's why they have 3 judges and scored a 9/10 on each round. 8/10 if there's a knockdown and a 7/10 if a guy gets competely whooped on.

Yup. 1 point is a lot in boxing.

why don't they have odd number of rounds, like 11 or 13? That could put an end to a lot of draws too

yeah but what are the odds of a match being scored even for 12 rounds?, by 3 judges?....I think it needs to be done, It is what it is, if its an even round its a even round

Entirely untrue. Scoring more even rounds wouldn't have any impact on the amount of draws unless it became commonfor judges to score every round even. Otherwise... it would be basically the same.

Just one two point round or point deduction would kill the purpose of that. Are there a lot of draws happening that I don't know about?
