The first round is usually the toughest round to score in a fight

[ИATAS]

nope I score it accordingly same as I will with a 12th round.

Usually for me the first round is hard to score because most of the time it's a feeling out round and you don't really see either guy dominate that round unless its like a Pacquiao vs. Marquez round 1 type deal where the guy just comes out and drops the guy three times.

Most of the time the fight starts with both guys just being very cautious and for me it's hard as hell to score that first round.

How do you score a "feeling out" round where both guys might land a jab or two and no significant punch is thrown by either guy? That's the point of this thread.

That's why i say there needs to be more 10-10 rounds.

If a fight is super close the outcome could be determined how you score a meaningless round where neither guy does anything.

All the judges these days are so fixated on scoring a winner of a round but in the old days even rounds were way more common.

I don't mind 10-10 round but it needs to be a rarity not a Copout most of those feeling out rounds do have a winner

[Joeyzagz]

I score all first rounds even.

I score all the following rounds even as well unless one fighter is clearly dominating.

Round 1: Even
Round 2: Vitali
Round 3: Lennox
Round 4: Vitali
Round 5: Even
Round 6: Lennox
