    I've been harping on about this for a while but there are not enough drawn rounds in boxing.I scored last nights fight a draw even though overall Marquez looked like the better fighter.He won his rounds convincingly while for the most part Pacquia just squeaked out his rounds.
    I think if the rounds are really close they should be scored 10-10 and let the fight be decided in the championship rounds where the better man usually comes out on top.

    I'm gonna have to disagree that Marquez won his rounds convincingly and that Pacquiao just squeaked by his.

    I'm a big Pacquia fan and wanted him to win but i though he only won a couple rounds convincingly, the others he just edged

    I agree. If you don't think anyone decisively won a given rd, why not score it even?

    I agree with the 10-10 rounds because so many rounds are so close and hard to score that someone shouldn't get a 10-9 round when they barely won it and then the next guy dominates a round and get's the same 10-9.

    hardly anyone uses them which blows my mind since fights are 12 roudns and thats a number that screams DRAW. if judges used 10-10 rounds it would eliminate most draws and make a difference in close fights
