    In the live thread last night I stated that I had the 9th round for Jack as a 10-8 round. I can't see how you can score it any other way. Even the Showtime bunch (they were ok last night; I didn't mute them as I usually do) mentioned that The Pimp was winning close rounds 10-9 but the rounds that Jack was winning were "stronger" ... I forgot the exact words Farood used.

    In the 9th Jack battered The Pimp to the point where posters were saying The Pimp was finished, he was hurt, etc. How could this round be considered EQUAL in numerical terms to a round in which each fighter landed but one landed a few more punches, none of which had either guy hurt? They can't POSSIBLY be EQUAL!

    Just because a guy's knee doesn't touch the canvas after being punched from post to post doesn't make it equal to a close round.

    10-9 if one guy is better, even a little better.
    10-8 if one guy gets battered around.
    10-7 if the guy gets bettered and knocked down.

    BTW I had The Pimp still up by 1 point even with the 10-8 for Jack.

    i'd need to rewatch to evaluate this specific instance, but i'm totally with you on the idea that they should start giving more 10-8 rounds.

    I did not score it 10-8. Thought the fight was a draw.

    By that same logic, the 10th could have been 10-8 Stevenson. It's true that Jack did win his rounds more "convincingly", but he did give away 5 of the first 6, and Adonis won the 10th and had Badou hurt and hanging on. Draw was fair. At least that's how it seemed from a good vantage point live.

    If there was a 10 8 round it was the round that Jack was hurt looking ready to take a knee i think rnd 10 from body shots.

    I didn't really see any 10 8 rounds as both guys fought back in certain situations.

    This would leave more room for corruption.

    A judge better have a good reason to give a 2 point round otherwise they will just start doing it randomly to the fighter they're suppose to favor.

    It was a good battering in round 9 but I didn't think it was quite worth a 10-8. Stevenson didn't wobble or chicken dance or anything.

    Ok, then let me ask you: If The Pimp HAD done a chicken dance, meaning he was seriously hurt, would that have been enough to make it 10-8 in your eyes?

    Pretty much. With the way we see some scorecards giving rounds to “favored” fighters, could you imagine how infuriating it will be seeing 10-8’s later in fights?

    I think there should be more 10-10 rounds. If the round is very close and it’s really a 50/50... don’t give either fighter the round.

    Judges seem scared to call a round a draw but very easily score an entire fight one. Doesn’t make much sense to me.

    Stevenson had just as dominant a round right after that when he was battering Jack’s body so if that was 10-8 Jack then the other one was 10-8 Stevenson.

    If you mean the round where The Pimp landing a punishing body shot that visibly hurt Jack then I agree with you.
    By definition that should have also been a 10-8 round.

    Judges have a difficult time just administering 10-9 correctly. The sport doesn't need an influx of 10-8s. Only if a guy is seriously hurt and battered should there be a 10-8 awarded, not merely for losing the round big. Stevenson was banged up but never seriously in trouble.

    I think what we're getting at here is that a chicken dance is justified in getting a 10-8 round, and a KD a 10-7.

    With how Jack was dominating the round? Yes, dominating AND visibly hurting Stevenson would have made it 10-8 in my eyes.
