when is it appropriate to score a round 10-10???

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Unless a round was won by a specific margin, id be inclined to score it even.

For me its not just about who won the round, its also a case of ''did he do enough to credit the win''.

Calzaghe - Hopkins is a good example where there were 2 or 3 rounds were all you got to score on was scrappy, jittery action with mostly partially scoring punches. No on took charge or gained an advantage in those rounds so for me its very easy to score those rounds as 10-10.

I wouldn't be the sort of judge who takes one fighter's 'shoe-shine' and deems it better than the other guy's single hard right hand. To me thats a bullshit round where both guys didn't do enough. Even round.

*Edit*

I only score a round 10-10 when it's an incredibly slow and tactical round where neither fighter lands anything of significance. In other words, when neither fighter does anything to deserve winning the round.

When it's a close back and forth round with tons of action, I don't score it even, I feel obligated to declare someone the winner of the round.

I'm not saying that's the right way to do it, it's just how I do it.
