All these complaints about "robberies" - yet people still hate draws and even rounds?

    When there are fights with several close rounds, why not just score them all even and let the clear rounds decide it?

    When there are close cards, and a split/majority decision, why not just call it a draw?

    Could anyone really say it would be unfair for Macklin-Sturm to be called a draw? Or Groves-DeGale? Or Judah-Matthyse?

    Awarding these fights as draws would force the rematch, and, therefore, there's a better chance of getting a conclusive result the second time.

    I don't get why people are so scared to score even rounds, and dislike draws so much. If it's so close that there are plenty of people seeing it either way...call it even...call it a draw.

    No?

    true not enough judges give a 10-10 round, on really close rounds thats why we get loads of split decisions
