    There are close fights where the rounds are easy to score. Then there are fights like Martinez/Williams and Winky/Taylor, where many of the rounds are super tight and competitive and tough to call. Those are the fights where i think fans say that a draw is fair.

    I understand that. Draw is fair. But i also think "close" is fair.

    I'm satisfied with a close decision if the fight was close. Simple as that. I wouldn't yell: "SHould have been a draw!" You know...

    Morales-Barrera 1 & 3.
    Chacon-Boza Edwards 2

    There are likely loads more but those were great fights that I know well that sprung to mind.

    This WAS scored a draw, I had no complaints with that verdict, I think I had Taylor edging it tho but neither man really `won` the fight so a draw was fair.

    Clottey beat Cotto . Instead of giving the fight to Cotto and putting a loss on Clottey record why not give him a draw?

    Clottey beat Margarito . Instead of giving the fight to Margarito and putting a loss on Clottey record why not give him a draw?

    Luevano/Santiago

    I scored it a draw, judges had it a draw, I just rewatched it last month and still have it a draw.

    THe rounds were so easy to score for each fighter to get 6 rounds each.

    Wright - Taylor

    Pacquiao - JMM I

    Both were scored a draw and that's the exact same way I had it on my scorecard so I had no complaints.

    I had Ibeabuchi - Tua scored a draw as well. Ibeabuchi got the nod in the end but if you asked me to pick a winner I would've gone with Tua because I felt he landed the heavier, more damaging blows throughout the fight.

    Wright-Taylor immediately comes to mind. I scored that 6-6, and I watched it 3 times.
