    The problem is that "A little more" is worth the same as "a lot more"

      Throughout the history of boxing there's never been a problem with judges scoring rounds even.....until very recently (past 15 years or so). If scoring even rounds was good enough for Ray Robinson fights then there shouldn't be any problems with it today.

        "A little more" shouldn't be enough to win a round. This ain't the amateurs where you win the round by landing one more pitty-pat punch than you're opponent.

          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

              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.

                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
