    Have you ever considered accepting a "draw"?

    most of the time whenever a fight ends with a draw, we find ourselves b!tchin that it was more of a robbery

    that the other fighter should've won because of poor scoring or poor refereeing etc.

    is there a fight you can recall that you find that is worthy of a draw?

    I will rarely score a fight 114-114, or 95-95, or 76-76 etc. so they are worthy of a draw. I know I scored a fight a draw not that long ago (can't remember which one). Even if one fighter clearly looks better if they only won 6 out of 12 rounds I think a draw is necessary.

            easily pwill-martinez. how could anyone possibly be upset with a draw in that fight? anyone who thinks a draw was absurd there is either a fanboy of which ever fighter or generally an idiot.

            i also felt froch-kessler was a draw, although most people tend to disagree.

            the thing that is messed up with scoring is that judges are afraid to make a round a draw. like on my scorecards, when the fight starts and neither fighter does much of anything in the first round, its a draw man - scoring those feel out rounds where nothing happens at all ruins the scorecard at the end of the fight.

              JMM vs Pac 2 should have been a draw or a 1 point win for JMM...a draw would have been the most fair option...

                If a fight is scored even, it should be a draw. It's always been a part of boxing and always should be.

                    Pac/JMM 1 was a justifiable draw...even with the 1st round scoring error.

                    Pac was taught a thorough boxing lesson. however, I scored it a 1-point victory for Pac...with a 10-6 1st round as the determining point.
