Should we have 10-10 scoring?

    I agree that if 10-10 is used, it should be vary rarely. If there is one round almost too close to call, just make a decision. Find something to "slightly" justify one fighter over another. And if there is another similar round later, just give it to the other fighter.

    I agree, especially about the 10-8 part.

    Is that officially allowed? I can't remember seeing it, although Merchant speaks about it and maybe some cases slipped my mind.

    I love this scoring. if i see a round where its too close to give it to either guy then its 10 each its the fairest way

    Hagler-Seales I. 10 round fight. Scores: 99-99, 99-99, 98-96.

    Still not sure how the hell that happened. I don't know of anyone who actually saw the fight to say whether that was legit.

    I realy try to avoid 10/10 rounds, but occasionally? Sometimes there are even rounds where neither man gets the better. So 10/10 is ok but should be used SPARINGLY. Too many get carried away with what they call even but controversey is nothing new.
