Would you rather see a draw instead of a robbery?

[sssleeper]

Hardly an event goes by with out some outcry over at least one decision that transpired on the card.

Within the rules; it's perfectly acceptable to award a 10-10 but sometimes it seems like the judges are so unsure that they just flip a coin as to who to award the 10 and 9 points to after each round. Would you like it to be encouraged, to a degree, that if the judges are really unsure who won the round that they should score it a 10-10?

Obviously, this would result in more draws, but would you rather a fighter who has spent months training for a fight have a draw (at the very least) on his or her record instead of a highly-disputed loss? Is walking away with a draw better than being robbed and having that forever on your record?

Yep

ALOT of folks get super pissed at draws, but if it's a close fight, I have zero issues with it.

 

[mangokush]

Yes so they can run it back.

 

[nanika]

a draw isnt inherently a bad fight. it can be action packed back and forth and both sides do similar damage so its judged a draw.

 

[The guest]

It would obviously be better for the fighter that got screwed.

But, it would cause such a shitstorm of logjams almost everywhere. If all of a sudden these " robberies " became draws.

They actually happen often enough, imo. That I'm sure it would cause a standstill in alot of the divisions.

So, that's a dbl edge sword.

But, ppl getting robbed, is serious bullshit.

 

[MPD-Psycho]

I'm probably gonna be biased depends on who's fighting, but in general yes.

 

[mmafan559]

if it's a legit draw you get a better chance of a rematch

give me that

 

[TheGrouch]

Sure, if it was a good fight...run it back after a draw. If it's a shitty fight, give someone a win and move on.

 

[TStoner]

Depends who I'm rooting for and who's gettin the robbery

100% I would like to see more 10-10 rounds. A perfect example of why is the recent Betch Correira/Marion Renau fight where we saw two close rounds.....I know for sure round 1 was even , but three was a complete blow out and Renau was clearly the better fighter and won the fight. But two 10-9s for Betch and a 10-8 makes it a draw.

 

[Turf Skirmish]

If it is close enough to be a draw, then it necessarily can’t be a robbery.

 

[SowingSeason]

Absolutely.

 

[streetscience]

I think their should be overtime rounds if it is a good fight

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Nope 10-10 should never be given.

Someone has to get the 9 or 8, etc

Close fights are only robberies if your fighter lost. Another word is called great fight.

 

[AtlSteel]

Don't care. Win the fight or don't.

 

[bad seed]

So you guys wanna see Woodley-Thompson 3?

 

[Megatronlee]

I like draws

 

[Blond]

I am down for draws as long as they don't lead to automatic rematches in non-title fights.

 

[VulcanNervPinch]

Would you rather see a draw instead of a robbery?

By a mile

 

[Mortigan]

Always. My preferred scoring criteria is to award a 10-10 unless objectively and subjectively any and all viewers (okay.. maybe a bit too strict, but still some very large majority that dwarfs dissenters) would agree who a round should go to. The reasoning I've heard such scoring criteria disliked most often is because people just "don't like draws".
