I never do that. If you do that I don't want to ever hear you complain about a judges scorecard again.
Do you ever rescore fights and change the winner?

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

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).Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment

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.
