Re: Scroing Even Rounds... Whats the big deal?
10-10 assumes that there is nothing to differentiate the two fighters. In my experience there is almost always something to seperate the two. If you are judging you are there to make that distinction. 10-10 rounds should be incredibly rare. I think like Barrera-Morales I 5th round, on replay it's easier for people to see something that would make them support the volume punches of Morales or impact punches of Barrera but during the heat of the moment without instant replay it would look very even. I personally try to avoid even rounds as much as possible.
I think the worst examples of 10-10 rounds were one that Teddy Atlas did and that commentater had on TSN last week. Where one fighter is winning a round and the other guy scores a knockdown so somehow that becomes a 10-10 round, I absolutely don't get that.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
