I think it wouldn't be a bad thing for judges to score a 10-10 round/s if it is nearly impossible to pick who won the 'round.. I've seen 'round that no matter what way you look at it, they were even... You'd simply be flipping a coin, or picking some completely random and irrelevant reason why one fighter has won an even 'round... If it's possible for a fighter to only JUST win the round in the eyes of the judges, then it is also possible for a round to be completley even by the judges.. But they pick a winner anyway.. This is where you get split decisions on a close fight with one judge scoring 117 for one fighter, and another judge scoring 117 for the other fighter... That tells you the fight was all about perception, and what tiny "convincing" thing each judge found to give the round to their fighter...
If 7 rounds were even, fight wise, give them 10-10 each for those 7 rounds, then let the scoring in the remainder rounds sort out who won... Instead of having half a fight that has been completely even, scored compeletely randomly and playing a large part in deciding a fight that has been even for most of it...
I have a feeling though, which may be completely wrong,,, that if a fight had 2 very every even rounds in a row, a judge would give a point to one fighter in the first round, then a point to the other in the second round.. Hence scoring them even, if their fighting appeared to be even yet they still had to pick a winner for each round...
It can go either way... And we would still have super shit judges who are watching an entirely different fight to the one happening right in front of them.
