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..
good point. but in an ideal world where judges would actually call it fairly it would be better don't you think.
