I suspect that a judge who forces himself to score a broadly even round as a 10-9 to somebody will inevitably score the next broadly even round 10-9 to the other guy.

Re: Scoring rounds even! 10-10? What's the problem? More rounds should be 10-10. Fact

I've noticed that british commentators have a tendency to score more rounds even than american commentators. It seems to happen when a close fight starts to slip away from the british fighter--the british commentators start scoring even rounds despite the shift in the fight's momentum. It's as if they cannot face the truth that the british fighter is losing, and rather than say it outloud to their fellow countrymen, they just act like it's still an even fight.

Funnily enough I was saying the exact same thing to someone just yesterday, Froch loves his 10-10 rounds.
However I don't think Boxnation are quite as guilty of it, I'm guessing that is because they know that they have a more hardcore type of boxing fan whilst Sky have more casual fans that tune in, I honestly think that Froch and Co are told to keep the scores ad close as possible to keep the casual fans interest (especially if the Brit is losing or struggling)

Betcha some of those judges who are forced to pick a winner every round invariably end up tossing a coin.

No.
CJ didn't flip coins. She had her score ready before the Floyd-Canelo fight and just made believe she was actually scoring it.
