    I agree completely. In fact, that's exactly what I think about when I see this happen. I ask myself "if every round went exactly like that one, would they score it a shutout for the other guy"? During the replay of the Floyd-JMM we saw 2 judges give JMM round 8. If you erase everything before that, does JMM still look worthy of receiving that round? The answer of course, is no.

    I've also thought what some people here said, that they do it so they won't appear biased. However, I think this erroneous judgement makes them appear biased in favor of the losing fighter. It gives the impression that you want him to only do so much to win, and that "so much" is less than the other guy. It's kinda contradictory, because their intention would be the complete opposite of that, but if you give a round to a guy who appeared to lose it, you seem biased in his favor.
    I wish we did online scoring instead of professional judges. During fights on FX or Versus the results have always been fair because overall most ppl want the right guy to walk out with the W. Judges have a career at stake and are worried about their rep in the boxing world, so they are very unobjective.

      There was one round that I gave Chris, I think it was the 6th or 7th. He was busier and seemed to control the pace that round.

        This is seriously pissing me off. Judges are supposed to be fair and balanced. We've seen this happen time and time again - One judge today gave Arreola one round, Lederman did, and also some posters have said they gave him the 8th. Listen, I know he did BETTER in that round than in the rest, but he still lost it. You don't get a round in a fight you're being dominated in just by doing slighty better than in the other rounds. You're supposed to WIN IT.

        One judge gave Marquez two rounds and another gave him one last week.
        One judge gave Baldomir two vs. Floyd
        Two judges gave Tito a round vs. Winky

        This is beyond ******. You can't get rounds just by being dominted less than you did in the previous one!
        they don't wanna seem biased
