    Have slacked off scoring fights over the last few years but used to score all I could.Look back and notice that used to score a shite load of rounds even?Might be a case of not breaking it down,getting caught up in commentators or honestly in the first sheets I was playing clear favorites...had 4 rounds even in Toney/Tiberi,Carbajal in tough with Pacheco another 4 even .Quickly learned that every time I yelled "robbery" I had no solutions,and really no difference.An even round is literally saying it could have gone either way and I believe its more often a case of not scrutinizing what little action there is as opposed to an even round being so evenly contested...but both scenarios arise.

    Now I avoid them like the plague,hate even rounds no matter a four rounder or twelve.Break a round into three segments if need be.Not a fan of fights ending in draws,again some are justified but an even round is the same thing.Indecisive and incomplete.Then come the rounds with knockdowns.Think the 10-9 rule is hard to stick to with mutual KDs in the same round.To me,if a guy gets dropped hard,he cannot-does not merit a 10 for that round,no matter how well the rest of the round is fought.I joke Teddy but shite Ive scored rounds 8-7 in the past

    I don't see any problems with the occasional even round. How about the judge with the balls to score the final round of Taylor-Hopkins I even? In that case, it would have been nice if he had just made a call.

    Never, ever score a round even, anyone who does is just indecisive. If in doubt go with the House fighter.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I have scored even rounds before. I think most of the time you can figure out who won the round, but there are those times when two fighter's just seem to look at each other rather than fight for 3 minutes. Other than that I usually pick the aggressor.

    Only reason I don't like to use it is becuase makes you more comlacent as a judge, and I think thats why they don't want judges using 10-10 rounds very often because no round should be prefectly equal, and it would have made Clottey-Cotto like 116-117 for me.
