    Yes I do I usually keep a piece of notebook paper next to me during fights that im watching the first time so I dont forget anything while getting soaked up in the moment. Watching on tape I can score in my head and I dont do it for some of my fights like say Barrera vs Hamed but when I rewatch something like Taylor-Wright I will rescore.

    Some fights are (on paper anyway) guaranteed to go the distance. I score these ones, but wouldn't normally score a live fight, especiallly if I was vehemently rooting for one of the fighters. When I see re-runs of controversial fights (example: Setanta replaying Pacquiao/Marquez 2) I generally tend to score them.

    I do the first time not that closely like wat i do is just sit back relax and watch it then during the intervals have a little think and pick a winner easy:happy and this way you dont miss anything or any of the atmosphere.Try that and see wat you think:yep:yep:yep

    In important fights I generally keep track of who won what round. Thats how I knew Clottey was robbed against Cotto.

    If I'm in the right mood I'll watch any damn thing that passes for a boxing match, so no, I don't always keep a score card. I score fights that are important to me. I often watch big fights with my sister and her husband, and we do a sort of mutual score card by discussing each round a bit.

    I don't think I could watch a fight WITHOUT scoring it. I've been doing it that way for years. Adds to the enjoyment for me.

    I never study a fight to score it 1st time, I like to enjoy it & re-watch it afterwards & do a rd by rd (not all the time tho, the fight usually has to be both contraversial/close AND a good/enjoyable fight)

    I will say tho, I usually get an idea who has won each rd & I usually remember my exact card in my head until the 2nd viewing, 50% of the time I have the same score as before, 50% of the time there will be 1 or 2 rds needing changed.

    Usually I will keep score, but sometimes I don't. For example I'll be watching Fight Night Club, but I'm not going to score every fight. I might score one or two of these fights tonight.

    I score it the second time I watch it and rescore it the third time without volume.

    when it comes to the major fights.... i tend to casually keep track as i watch.. nothing major... because there are other people around trying to enjoy the fight too... sometimes i might go back to watch it by myself...thats when i can actually sit down and view and replay rounds to score...
