rd 5 of lewisw v holy 1 should be 10 to 8

 

Ought to be rare, like a 10-10 even frame, but like a 10-10 also not something that should NEVER BE scored. It actually is appropriate sometimes.

 

There was a few Pacquiao fights where the action was so one sided in some of the rounds I had no choice but to score 10-8. The DLH fight had a couple or rounds I scored 10-8. The Margarito fight there was at least one round there I scored 10-8.
I'm sure there's been a few other Pacquiao fights that had some 10-8's without the benefit of a knockdown.

 

Judging would need a huge overhaul to have a bunch of 10-8 rounds. Thats a possible idea that is often discussed, having a greater range of scores to better reflect how fights go. But as of now its not being done.

A 10-8 with no KD does happen but not that often. 10-10 also rare. Judges are taught that 10-10 should be very rare, and if you have too many it probably is a red flag that you are not focusing enough as a judge.

 

I RARELY ever score a 10-8 round without a knockdown.

 

Scoring Ward over Kovalev, Garcia or Peterson or Herrera, Glaskov even with Scott, Canelo even with May......those are red flags.

 

floyd v gatti round 5 i think was just ridiculously dominant

 

Vitali vs Briggs round 8.

 

Bowe-Golota II had a few rounds that could easily have been scored 10-8 without knockdowns.
