it's really not that complex. it's just a half point that would separate a close round especially where a 10-10 round is not allowed.
What's the gain here though? How would a 10-9.5 round be better than a 10-9 round? I think things should be much more simple and binary you won the round or you didn't.
right.. i think this is the reason that 10-10 rounds are not allowed sometimes.. simply because it is too "easy" to say what you are saying, "it was a really close round, hard to pick a winner, so i give it a 10-10" If we had the 9.5 in effect, i believe that would work the same way, and be overused.. at least with a bout where 10-10's are not awarded, you are forcing the judges to pick a winner of the round.. their decision of the winner is obviously disputed at times, but don't you think there would be even more arguments if someone "clearly" won a round, and they received a 10-9.5 instead of winning it 10-9? I just see more issues arising if this were the case..
