    I never do that. If you do that I don't want to ever hear you complain about a judges scorecard again.

    I've rescored fights before, don't think i've ever had a case where the winner changed though

      I have, but only the very close ones, which is why I don't complain unless it's an obvious robbery.

        It's hard to change your view on who you initially thought won. My experience has been understanding the view point of others who think differently.

          I score the fight live, but leave myself the option to score 10-10 on close rounds that could go either way.

          If I go back to watch again, I'll force myself to lock in the 10-9, but still make note of the close rounds (rounds that wouldn't bother me being scored either way). If it's worth watching another time, I check to see if what I saw was still what I saw (with very little change), but I conclude with a range of scores that I view an objective observer drawing the conclusion for.

          I scored Kovalev-Ward, 7-5 Ward (but would've been fine with 6-6 or 7-5 Kovalev as well), and I believe I had Golovkin-Jacobs 6-6 (with 7-5 Jacobs and 7-5 Golovkin both being fine).

            Only nerds score fights.

              It happens when biased haters/nuthuggers grow out of that phase and start being honest with themselves...then rewatch a close fight and realize how clouded their judgment was.

                Sometimes with fights where the winner can go either way I might flip a round or two where my fight night opinion changes. In that case my first opinion is that the fight could go either way and I don't have much a problem to begin with.

                  Usually when I rewatch fights it either solidifies my original score or I see the winner even clearer .

                    Unlike most here, I wasn't born knowing it all, nor am I currently as wise as I will be in 5 or even 10 years from now. My knowledge of the science and ability to see punches landing and/or missing is always improving. So, yes, I re-score fights (only if I happen to want to watch the fight again). Often, I have a same or similar score. Sometimes, I see a different winner.

                    As I always say; Those who think they know it all are so closed-minded that they probably haven't learned anything in years.

                    (BTW, none of this is addressed at the TS)
