Question for people who score 10-8 rounds without a knockdown

Both. Nowhere do the official rules explicitly specify that you can't score a 10-8 without a knockdown and the practice is time-honored, albeit rare, for as long as there has been a 10-point must system in place for professional boxing judges.

 

I only score 10-8 rounds without a knockdown if I believe that the fighter was on the verge of being stopped (I also put into perspective how long he was in this position) AND he didn’t land anything of note.

 

Yeah, think we're on the same page on this - basically situations where there's extreme dominance and somebody's plainly hurt, more than just momentarily.

 

You taking to me? I can score the round anyway I feel like scoring it. What's so sacred about 10-9, 10-8? I've seen rounds that could have been scored 10-5.

 

You've never seen a round where one guy was been so bettered, so dominated that it couldn't possibly be lower than a 7? Like evaluating a waiter that was slow, skilled your soul, was rude, was slow, brought the wrong foor, and you give him an 8 when asked for an evaluation?

 

Sadly judges rarely score even rds.

They ALWAYS seem to score PITY rds 10/9....

But if PITY rds were scored even, then guys like Malik Scott v Glaskov, Chisora v Helenius, GGG v Jacobs/Alvarez and Kovalev v Ward would not end in robbery's or ridiculously closer on the cards than what actually happened in the ring.

 

I would never throw a server under the bus to his employer like that, having spent time in the service industry myself - and my ground-floor minimum tip, is somebody were to spit on me, is 15%. You have to be a CUNT to get 15% from me. Standard is 20, exceptional service gets more.

 

Seriously? You tip crappy, rude, incompetent service? Is that not enabling the server and doing his employer a disservice?

 

I do. I forgot - you're not American? That explains it. People that aren't from here (or haven't worked in the service industry here) just don't get it.

 

I tipped 0.11 once.

 

I'm American...where did you get the idea that I wasn't? Born in the Bronx, sentenced to Texas.

The rule is tip the service , not the food, correct? I always give 20% in a restaurant even If the service is just ok. But the waitress who gave me the stink eye because I asked her to turn down the blasting music last week got 5%.
